This week's challenge, Y, is for Yesteryear - you need to use your 1st, or on of your 1st stamps.
The challenge for this one was remembering which were my 1st stamps!!! In the end I have chosen to use the 1st Penny Black stamp I bought, Spring Air.
I coloured the image in using distress inks and the added Anita's gloss to add a gloss to the wellie.
I decoupaged the image up to add depth to the card. I used distress inks to colour the Woodware photo anchors and corner. Finally I added brown organza ribbon and green ribbon which I tied in a bow.
A view of the decoupaged layers.
Thanks for looking and I am looking forward to nosing at all your 1st stamps!
Oh I found a photo of one of the 1st cards I made with this stamp - I can't believe how much my cards have changed!!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black Spring Air
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Mellow and Archaic
Embellishments: ribbons from stash, Woodware chipboard photo anchors and photo corners, Anitas Gloss
