wel here we go my first post for Visable Image Stamps, what can i say i got my stamps and all i thought was WOW, i couldnt wait to get started playing...
i have to tell you guys i am not the best stamper in the world but these stamp like a dream, so clear and detailed, they even made me look good lol
right so first i did a card for the challenge at http://visibleimage.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-max=2012-09-29T17:55:00%2B01:00&max-results=3 inspired by autumn i have used the http://www.visibleimage.co.uk/stamps/feminine/corset.htm stamp.
i chose a backing paper of tea roses, in a soft brown then went over with spiced marmalade distress ink to bring the autumn feel out a little, cut a couple of matts and then edged all these using the http://www.visibleimage.co.uk/stamps/christmas/grungeflourish.htm. i used just the very edges of the stamp to give interest and embossed this in gold.
i found a nice paper i thought would look good as a base for the corset, and using the same paper for each but a different colour of ink got 3 lovely autumn coloured corset's to display.
i finished it off with a paper border coloured with disress inks and threaded with gold ribbon.
next i couldnt resist playing with the christmas stamps
i chose a lovely deep blue background, and using the stunning http://www.visibleimage.co.uk/stamps/christmas/christmascollage.htm stamp, i stamped on another sheet of the same paper in moonlight white brilliance ink and snowflake tinsel embossing power. tore this image out and mounted with foam tape.

i then used http://www.visibleimage.co.uk/stamps/christmas/snowybackground.htm to make some snowflake flowers using the same snowflake tinsel embossing powder , finished off with a gem in the centre
then to finish of fi added a beautiful ribbon bow in the top corner .
