I have neglected my Sugar Nellie stamps thanks to the need to make Christmas cards ... but now Christmas is over I am taking a week or two off making Christmas cards, and am concentrating on inking up the rubber that has yet to come out of its packet ... well packets!!
This is Angelica ... I masked off the bunny as, well, I didn't want it on! She is coloured using promarkers and flxmarkers, and the wings have been glamour dusted. I made the dp myself, I am really pleased with it as its my first time with this technique(see below for how). I added a layered flower with a button, with tulle behind it, some lace, some crystal chandlier stuff, and a pearl pin. Finally the sentiment is a Penny Black one.
To make the paper:
Paint over plain card using acrylic paint (darker colours work best)
Stamp your background in versamark, add clear embossing powder and heat it.
Finally go over it all with a paler acrylic paint. While the paint is still tacky, rub it off the embossed areas with a damp cloth or paper towel ... NOT a baby wipe!
And volia ... shabby, vintagey, weathered paper!
