Animal Spirits share



Good Morning peeps, this weeks theme at Allsorts has been chosen by my teamie Jill and she would like us to make 'Anything but a Square'.

So I thought I would share one of the samples I recently did for Sue, the talented artist behind Animal Spirits Stamps. You can buy the stamps direct from Sue's US website or in the UK from Sir Stampalot.

Out came the Grand Nesties Labels 23, I just love the shape of these ones and now I have my Bog Shot Pro cutting the large ones is a doddle.............I probably didn't mention.............dare not really as I recently killed off my second Big Shop Express, so I decided to go the whole hog and go for the Big Boy.

My image is stamped with versafine black and embossed with detail clear, then coloured with Copics. The DP is October Afternoon, the roses cut from the same DP using a Marianne die and the leaves cut from hessian and coloured with TH inks. The sentiment is computer generated.

If you are having a fireworks party, enjoy and take care.

What a beautiful shaped card Brenda and those images must be so fun to colour. I must get one soon. Yes, I am trying to catch up on everyone in blogland....last week got away from me. Thanks for your lovely comment.

I love the way your hessian leaves pick up on the shape of the card edges & I always particularly enjoy your samples with these stamps. The way your swirly roses accent the patterning of the stamp itself is delightful too.
