Hi there!

Thanks for popping in!

Just in between TV Shows,

so thought I would have a quick chat to you,

and upload this morning’s demo.

It really is a very simple one,

using our new and very delightful

Wee Houses and Wee Shops.
(You can buy them as individual stamp sets or combined with our stamp storage system Special Offer £27.98)

Let’s take a selection of the Wee Houses and Wee Shops which are already mounted on our Mini Mounts,  a piece of our 7×7 Stencil Card and build a street using a Black Archival ink pad.

When stamping, stagger the row of houses and shops to give it some perspective. Take the words “Hugs & Kisses” from Word Chain 15 set of unmounted stamps and stamp above the street. Then place the “kissing couple” from the Wee Folk 1 set of unmounted stamps in front of the street.

Next, use a black micron pen and draw a ribbon at the top and bottom of the image to frame it. 
Good idea to practice on a piece of scrap paper first!

I love the monochromatic look, 
but a bit of colour will change it completely.

I have used just one red pencil, starting dark at the points of the ribbon and getting lighter (applying less pressure on the pencil) as you move towards the middle, giving the effect of the light catching the ribbon.

Now let’s use the red pencil to add some colour 
to the Wee Houses and Wee Shops

Trim your work back so that it sits better.

Now take a black Sharpie and a ruler and edge your work.

Mount onto another piece of 7×7 Stencil Card and then onto a larger piece of black card

There, doesn’t that look great,
and this design will work for so many different occasions!

Right, better get back to it – I hope you are enjoying the shows.

Big Hugs & Kisses,
