Treated myself to one of the new Michael Powell stamps last week. I remember my Mum did a cross stitch of his many years ago that I always admired so had to have this stamp!
It was a little tricky to stamp out - bits of the image were missing. But got there in the end. I watercoloured with Inktense water colour pencils.
I am entering the anything goes challenge over on Papertake.
I've got several of his kits as yet unstitched - got one of the stamps as I thought it would be quicker to do something with - it is but only marginally! Tara x
I saw these stamps a little while ago and thought they were great but I was quite daunted at the thought of colouring one in, you did a fantastic job Liz, love it. Take care, Lyn x
Hello, I'm Liz McGuire. I have been designing and making cards for over 10 years, serving on numerous design teams and completing assignments for various papercraft magazines.
Along with my cardmaking I like to try my hand at art journaling, memory keeping, smash books etc. And there is also my new obsession - planners and stationery! So there may be the occasional blog post on these topics.
I do have a real job but that's just to earn enough money to buy paper, stamps, pens and, of course, buttons!
Thanks for stopping by and do leave a comment and follow, if you like what you see.
