Love lives here- Tulips

Hi Y'all!

Robyn here with an all occasion ATC

featuring 

New Stamps from 

Quietfire Design.

Tulips

love lives here

The stamping is created using stamp positioners and  masking

 and  the painting with no line watercoloring.

Begin with stamping on a piece of acetate to position your stamp on the card.

Put the card in the positioner and move the  acetate around till the image is where you want it to be.

Remove the acetate and stamp in a light water based ink.

Distress old paper was used here so you can see it.

This ATC was done with Distress antique linen

Stamp on masking paper and position over the card

Use a positioner again to get the placement of the third tulip

Ta da!

Save the mask to use again.

Use your favorite water medium to color to your hearts content.

The light ink will disappear into the painting.

Outline the flourish with gold gouache or a pen can be used.

Love lives here

was positioned as above, stamped in Versafine Onyx and thermal embossed clear.

Here is the ATC without the masking.

Which do you prefer?

Comments and Questions Welcomed.

Love Lives Here - Guest Designer Linda Lucas

Hi, it is Linda here and I am so excited to have been invited to be a Guest Designer for Quietfire Design - I have always loved these beautiful sentiments - and the calligraphy makes them even more special.  I have to say it was nearly impossible to choose the ones I was going to use - they are all fabulous!

I did finally manage to choose, and for my card today I have chosen the Love Lives Here sentiment.  It works so beautifully with the Painted Lady Die from Spellbinders.  I have used the stamp to create a house sign, almost wreath like - it is what we would all like for our homes....

The sentiment has been stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut out using the Standard Circle Die, the inside of the Die has been sponged using Danube Blue Ink.  This has then been layered onto a larger circle in blue, using Crafty Foam Tape for dimension.

Flowers are the perfect embellishment, framing the sentiment, along with a double Seam Binding bow.  I love the way that such a small sentiment can say so much!
