Good morning all!
Looking out my window it doesn’t look like such a great day (at the moment) but I imagine you won’t be looking out the window for long as the new S.W.A.L.K. and Humphrey stamps are out today!
Just thought I’d quickly give you a little peek of the “New Baby” stamp from Humphrey’s Corner range by Crafter’s Companion.
I decided to dress him in blue for a baby boy but you could decide to go for pink or turquoise, yellows or anything you can imagine! That is the fun in playing with stamps and using the Spectrum Noir pens! Look out for the shows on Create & Craft this weekend where Leann will be bringing the Speccies on Saturday 30th July 10am, 2pm, 6pm and Sunday 31st July11am and 3pm. I am really looking forward to that to get more tips!
For this little guy I have used the 3 lightest greys (CG0.5, CG1 and CG3) from the Cool Greys set as he is a baby and I wanted to make him look all bright and new. For his blue towel I used the 3 lightest blues (144, 185, 183) from the Blues set. I used CG1 around the whole stamped image to give him a little bit of shadow and added a touch of glitter on the folds with the Sakura Quickie Glue pen. The little image of the two stuffed animals along with the sentiment comes with the stamp so you don’t need to look for any matching elements! With a light blue Sakura gel pen I added some faux stitching on the backing paper – both backing papers are from Humphrey’s Corner CD-Rom. The punch is by Martha Steward (not sure about the name…) – it comes with corner punches as well but I didn’t use them this time.
Let me know what you think – I always love reading comments!
Love, Nandia
P.S. It’s Friday!!!!!! 😀
