For a few weeks now I have been playing with my new wooden peg stamps.
These little stamps are very addictive and there are an endless amount of things that you can do with them. Here are three examples at my first attempts at using them.
My first card I decided to make a circle out of card and then put a little piece of double sided tape on the back of it, and then mounted it onto a piece of white card which I had run through my die cutting machine with a Spellbinders square card creator die, to get the right size to this 5x5 card blank.
I also cut out another square in gold mirri card to mount this onto. Then I found all of the different coloured inks that I wanted to use for the stamps. I first of all stamped on the dark colour, and then went around with the greens, pinks etc to form the circle. Once the circle looked complete, I carefully removed the circle mat from the middle and saw the circle revealed, which I was really pleased with. I then mounted the square stamped image onto the gold mirri card and then mounted this onto the card, which I first of all covered in a pastel blue paper from a paper pad which came from The Works. In the middle I then decided to add a Craftwork Cards sentiment, which seemed to finish off the card nicely.
My second attempt was to do a square frame doing the same technique, this time using different coloured inks and background paper, and then adding gemstones to finish the card.
My third attempt was using a completely different set of peg stamps and colours, this time using the same technique but mounting the image on silver mirri card, all sentiments are from Craftwork cards.
The little peg stamps that I have used are Heyda (Blossom and Leaves) and Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Spring blooms) and a selection of pigment ink pads.
Many thanks for looking and happy crafting,
