Recently a trip to the B&Q equivalent here ('Brico') gave me a big surprise. Don't get me wrong, I love going to these huge shops - there's always so much to look at... not to mention things to purloin, like paint samples, colour cards, wallpaper samples and so on! But this time, once I was bored of the garden section and the door handles section and the paint section, I found, tucked away in the far corner, a little artists'/crafters' section! No way!
This is where I found these stamps... they're Royal Brush, the 'Journey' and 'Viva France' sets. I love them!
I got inventive with them immediately, starting from scratch with some white linen cardstock cut to postcard size. I just started inking, stamping, and was so pleased with the result:
To finish off the postcard with a sentiment, I cut the word 'Merci' using the Cricut and then used the outline as a stencil to dab paint into.
Great find!! What Biffy lyrics does your brother have tattooed? I'm thinking about getting some Air Traffic lyrics done but I can't decide where.
ReplyDeleteYou're not as pleased as I am at receiving the beautiful, beautiful postcard. Thank you so much. xx
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Cheryl, I really need these stamps!
ReplyDeleteThe lyrics on Cheryl's brother's arm are
"All the way down"
looks like you had fun playing with your inks and stamps!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying a catch up with your posts today; I loved reading your thoughts on the old postcards. And congratulations on the Minibooks Anonymous team! That's great news.
