You may know that I have recently discovered the technique of handcarving stamps, and am now obsessed by it!( I dream of designs to carve!!!)
So, for my official Craft adda post today, I have two cards which I have made using two handcarved stamps that I made today.
To make this gorgeous feather stamp, I followed this tutorial by the fabulously talented Geninne who never fails to inspire!
I stamped the feathers on card stock using Versafine, Memento and Adirondack inks. I then cut out three feathers and affixed them along with some raffia for detail and pop. The sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.
I am submitting it for the Runway Inspired Challenge #57. the Freshly made Sketches challenge #130, the Paper Players challenge #190, Leannes Theme challenge to use 3 of anything and the Stamptv Mix it up Monday challenge.
For my second card I used a stamp which I carved; a design which is inspired by Gond Art from Central India.
I made two panels so that I could stamp them together to create a background. I love the way the panels come together to form a circle!
Inks used are from Versafine; Sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps and Hero Arts. The beautiful organza ribbon is from the local craft market.
I am submitting this card for the CASology Week 90:WET challenge
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a good night

ReplyDeleteHey Asmita!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment!
I use speedy Carve linoleum sheet which I got from the US. For the feather stamp, I used a steadler eraser. If you view the tutorial, you will get all the info you need.
HAND carved, you are AMAZING, thanks so much for sharing your creativity, so inspiring!!!! I made a lino block stamp once, I remember in 5th grade, it wasn't too bad, I made a holly sprig and 3 berries. I guess even then I knew the rule of 3, LOL!!
