Hello, it’s Angela here, I was so thrilled to be asked by Lynnda to contribute to the blog as I do love Oak House Studio products, especially the stamps and Inks. The theme this month is colours – rainbows and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous vibrant colours to choose from in the Colour Chemistry inks range. To challenge myself, I thought I would try Stampbord, I’ve seen it, read about it but never tried it before, so today’s project is my very first play.
I started by adding a colour wash of Paris Pink to the
surface of the stampbord, then I used a wet brush to flick and tap French
Lavender and Pumpkin inks randomly onto the surface, and dragged lines from
some of the splashes using a ‘pokey’ tool.
I stamped a butterfly and heat embossed with the fabulous
Silver detail powder. Added extra colour
using a paint brush loaded with French lavender ink. Using the Triple Berry Purples inkpad to
stamp ‘Dream’ under the butterfly and some random dottiness with a white pen
and the stampbord panel was finished.
I used both Peacock Green and Jubilee Blue inks to create
a colour wash background panel, flicked with water and then used a paper towel
to dab and lift colour in places, adding extra texture by stamping with the
little dotty textures stamp. Texture
Element stamps were used on 2 corners to ‘frame’ the panel, the Triple Berry
Purples inkpad for this and also added ‘Follow Your’ to top corner. I used a white pen again to highlight some of
the stamping in the corner elements.
To assemble the card, I created a card blank by scoring
& folding white leather card, I mounted the background panel onto black
card and then to card front. The
stampbord panel has also been matted onto black card before attaching to the
card front. To finish I added a few bright
sequins. I love the colours in this card, the way the Peacock Green really
makes the Paris Pink ‘pop’, it’s a combination that I find very uplifting. I think what I really like about Oak House
Studio products is that you don’t have to be the world’s best stamper to
achieve results you can be happy with, the products are such a great quality
that you don’t need the expensive stamping tools to achieve a good stamped
impression, the inkpads are juicy and rich and the Colour Chemistry inks give
fabulous results.
