My Art

It seems appropriate that I'm writing about my last card from March's show on the day day that the new stamps for April's have arrived. My head is full of ideas and I can't wait to get started.


I'm not one of the "arty ones" on the DT, so the journaling stamps were something a bit different for me. I certainly had fun playing with them though. I particularly loved the distressed diamonds stamp (as you can probably tell) and I can see me using it a lot. The background is just that stamp, stamped repeatedly on white card with black Archival ink.


For the main image I used Permanent Red, Orange and Diarylide Yellow PanPastels with black and Red Geranium Archival ink. I just kept adding to it until I thought I'd better stop. Hopefully I managed to do that in time. I'll let you be the judge of that though.

    Love this Lynne, the diamond background is a must have. I'm not arty but I do love the whole Art Journal idea, so I bought these stamps to give it a go and yet again you've inspired me to get them out and have a try

    I always love your work Lynne and I think you do 'Arty' very well...I especially love the depth of colour that you have achieved. Have a good day and I look forward to catching up with you on Sunday...Jo. X

    Looks good to me Lynne! I like the colours you've used too. My fave stamp from this set is the script - I think it will be on all my cards from now :)

    I know what you mean about being 'arty' Lynne. Your style is very clean and precise. But you have definitely achieved 'arty' with this card and I would choose it in a card shop in a heartbeat x
