Sharing my samples for the  February Hochanda show, the lovely Amanda Branston will be showcasing the design team samples, and giving great demonstrations. Really looking forward to watching the shows live as it’s half term. Please try  to tune in at 12 noon and 4pm if you can. Have a great day.

Here are the links for Set 1
Winifred
Stars
Forest so green

The background for my first sample was made using distress oxide inks blended onto Sheena smooth card. I stamped the words with Manarch versafine Clair ink (second generation). I then stamped Winifred with versafine fine black onyx ink. When dry, I drew around a heart shape lightly with a soft pencil. I used this as a guide to stamp the stars with monarch versafine Clair ink. I then cut the card, and stamped the words on the smaller part, along with more stars. Highlighted with sparkle pen before mating onto black card.

For sample 2 I used orange and green brushos on photo paper, then sprayed with water. Once dried I stamped Winifred with versafine black onyx ink. Mounted onto orange and green card. Stamped Flutterbys with versafine black onyx ink. 

Sample 3 for set one, background was sponged with distress oxide and water, once dry used a torn piece of paper as a mask to blend mowed lawn and peeled paint onto the bottom of the card. Then stamped the words, at the bottom of the card, then stamped Winifred both in nocturne versafine Clair ink. I then used a large circle mask and blended tumbled glass and salty ocean oxide inks onto other part of card. Then made a faint pencil line around the circle, followed this line to stamp the stars in monarch versafine Clair ink then embossed with clear embossing powder. Finally stamped flutterby with nocturne Clair ink. 

Set 2
Silver lining
Forest scene

My first project for set 2, I used a pink and purple background that was made using the shaving foam technique, I then masked off and used worn lipstick oxide to create the ground area, then used a circle mask to create the sun stamped the trees with monarch Clair ink stamped words with versamark and embossed with silver powder. Stamped flutterby with monarch Clair ink. Finally stMped snail with antique linen oxide and coloured with pencils. 

Sample 2. The background was inked with spectrum noir harmony inks. Honey pot, strew bale, sand storm, inked the trees and lettering  with friar brown versafineClair ink. Spectrum noir Midas gold brushed on base of card. Made a tag for the words.

Faith
Mini leaf

Background, sponged wilted violet, tumbled glass and worn lipstick all over card. Stamped faith in centre of card with nocturne Clair ink. Cut out masks for lunar buds so I could stamp them closer together also stamped with nocturne Clair ink along with the flutterby, stamped the mini leaf with monarch Clair ink. 

Sample 2 blended background with wilted violet, evergreen bough and salty ocean distress ink, splashed with a little water. Stamped images with nocturne Clair ink. Coloured the lunar buds with wilted violet and squeezed lemonade oxide. Highlighted with clear gel pen and sparkle pens. 

Sample 3. Background blended with tea dye and scattered straw inks, leaves and buds stamped with monarch Clair ink. Faith and flutterby stamped with nocturne Clair ink. Inked through a stencil with old paper distress ink. Coloured wings and lunar buds with pink sparkle pen. 

Set 4
 Sebastian
Ocean words

Sample 1. Background is photo paper smooched onto salty ocean and shabby shutters oxide ink sprayed with water. Stamped Sebastian with nocturne Clair ink. Then stamped words and seaweed with paradise Clair ink. Highlighted with white pen. 

Sample 2. Background blended using wilted violet, seedless preserves, salty ocean and chipped sapphire oxides. Inked through stencil with wilted violet. Main Sebastian stamped in centre then second generation stamped into background. Also stamped Lavinia small seahorse, fairy orbs and large green man beard in background. Coloured Sebastian with bronze Midas spectrum noir ink. Finished with sparkle pen and glass beads. 

Sample 3. Another photo paper background smooched in oxcide and water. Stamped Sebastian with bluebelle Clair ink. He went a little bit wrong, not all the ink transferred to the card, so he looks a little skeletal, decided to finish the card. Stamped seaweed with nocturne and bluebelle Clair ink, used Sebastian’s spines around edge of card. Highlighted edge of Sebastian with blue alcohol pen then highlighted with white pen. 

Hope you enjoyed the shows. Amanda did quite a few fabulous demos. Enjoy your new stamps. Always willing to help with any questions.
