Well I've had a good root round my craft room to see what I've forgotten I had. To my surprise, some of the stamps I've bought in the past have not even come out of their packaging! (Tut Tut)
So I've decided that, instead of buying new I'm going to give my old ones a new lease of life. I'll post them up over the next few days. Hope you like them. But for now..........................................
GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS
So, here they are, the very first stamps I ever bought ( are you ready Glenda?)
Drum Roll.................................................................
The Romance Set, still available from Graphicus, and I'm sure I still have the videotape of Glenda demonstating them on Create and Craft all those years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Might have to dig that one out...............)
These are very beautiful and detailed stamps, which need the correct stamp pad to bring out the best of them.
The next three cards show how these two stamps can be used.
I have used Stazon in black on glossy card and used Versafine in black for matt card stock. Then just colour washed with a piece of soft flannel rubbed over Adirondack ink pads using oranges, yellows and blues. The other stamps used were "We Three Kings" and "Wild Meadow" both available at Graphicus.
Regards,
Elaine

Good to see you back Elaine and great cards too. Couldn't tell you what the first stamps I had from Glenda but I do remember the first goodies were some papers when she was having a clear out. That's many moons ago now lol! Take care, Rosie
Sorry to hear you've not been well Elaine but glad your back to blogging now.
These cards are quite stunning using those beautifully detailed stamps.
