Can you stand more stamp reveals?! I am over the moon about this ABC Primer set from Hampton Art Stamps and Graphic45! When Hampton Art asked me to make samples, the matching paper was not yet available from G45, so I used some older G45 lines. But it just proves how amazing and versatileG45 paper is! And let me say these stamps are a DREAM to work with!
For this first card I used paper from the A Proper Gentleman line.
To create the tan background paper, I stamped images onto kraft paper with black and brown dye ink. I colored the image with Copics, naturally!
For this next card, I used papers from the Baby 2 Bride line. So soft and pretty!
I used pale Copics so the coloring would look almost like chalk. However, for me, coloring with Copics is easier and faster than messing with chalk!
For the last card I used the Playtimes Past paper line. You can see how well it works with the new stamps!
This image was so fun to color! The next time I use this one I think I'll paper piece that umbrella!
If some of these cards seem familiar, it's because I pulled out some of my old sketches and used them for inspiration. There is nothing like having a "go to" batch of sketches to help you give your creativity a boost. Well, having NEW stamps is a pretty big boost also! I hope you enjoyed this sneaky peeky!
