Hi there

As promised, here is a little gallery of the art samples from Sunday’s TV launch of our new Folk Art stamps, new Landscape masks and those irresistible Dawn & Dusk Toppers…

Available HERE

I also wanted to add a little step by step project here – one we didn’t get to during the 2 hour show – for you to try when your stamps and masks arrive…

I used this rather useful mask set to create the backdrop, but you can use torn paper too, if you haven’t got these. I guess the clue’s in the name of the pack here…

Start with the middle sized Stamp board. Create a hilly panel as below, then brush a little Bundled Sage into the area.

Add a little grey (Hickory Soft is a great colour) to the baseline. The Spot-On Sponges help get a darker colour.

Next step, remove the mountains mask at the top, so that you can stamp various little houses and trees along the baseline using Black Archival. Check it out! There’s even a little VW beetle poodling up the hill…

Now remove the lower mask, add a little dark grey pencil along the baseline, blend upwards with a blending pen, and use a mini moon mask to create a bright yellow sun.

Nearly there. Pick a sentiment stamp to use in the lower half of the pic. Those Art Deco Sentiments we released in January just work with everything, don’t they?

Lastly, edge the stamp board perimeter with a warm yellow Perga colour pen. Then attach to a matching warm yellow piece of Companion paper. Mount on a card blank, and you are all done xx

I love these new Folk Art stamps, They are quirky and modern. The Fox is a firm fave…

There we are. All done. Thanks so much for reading!

Love and Clarity
