back to stamping

It was so nice to do some stamping!  I still don't have easy access to all my stamps and I didn't realise how much I missed it until I did it! 

This little mixed media piece is a gesso background, an image transfer and some simple stamping.  I love that it's all very, very simple, but that the final piece looks quite intricate.  The stamps are by Tim Holtz; I only used 2 of them, just stamped them at different heights to create something more complex-looking. 

I was asked to create this card to give to someone because the concert tickets haven't arrived yet!  The concert is by Lauren Pausini, so I found an image of her to use.  I think it's worked quite well, and it was good to use an image where I actually know the person! 

I hadn't anticipated a very creative weekend, but this has definitely got me in the mood.
