Tamara here with you. Today I have an astronaut/space/universe card for you. First I started with alcohol inks background and it didn’t turn out just the way I planned so I made another one using Distress oxide inks and didn’t like that one either so I printed out this watercolour universe digital paper and it fits my coloured images perfectly. lol

Images used on this card are from Tiny Townie Astronauts rubber stamps. There are 4 astronauts in this set, but I decided to use only two. As you can see they arrived on a strange black-white planet. Images were stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black on 300g HP watercolour paper and then coloured up using Distress ink pads.

Distress ink colour used are: vintage photo, ground espresso, black soot, scorched timber, picked raspberries, spiced marmalade, barn door, broken china.

I added some universe themed die cuts and made a card that can be used for different occasions.
Hugs, t.

Wonderland Mad Hatter ♥♥♥ Stamping Bella https://www.handmadebytamara.com/2024/02/wonderland-mad-hatter-%e2%99%a5%e2%99%a5%e2%99%a5-stamping-bella.html https://www.handmadebytamara.com/2024/02/wonderland-mad-hatter-%e2%99%a5%e2%99%a5%e2%99%a5-stamping-bella.html#comments Sun, 18 Feb 2024 08:00:00 +0000 https://www.handmadebytamara.com/?p=12283 Hi
Tamara here with you with my latest card for Stamping Bella Design Team. For this week I chose Tiny Townie Wonderland Mad Hatter rubber stamp. This is a fun Image to colour since there’s a lot of different stuff to colour and you can really play with different colours and patterns. For stamping I used Archival Ink – Jet Black. I find this one the best for colouring with watercolours, it dries quickly and it’s very black. For colouring I used 300 g HP (hot pressed) Fabriano artistico watercolouring paper (if you’re starting with watercolours, you’ll love this one).

Distress ink pads used for colouring:
skin: vintage photo
cheeks: worn lipstick
hair: spiced marmalade
hat, pants: rustic wilderness, black soot
ribbon, coat, tea cup: villainous potion
coat (pink part): picked raspberries
shirt, shoes: barn door

Sentiment “You’re entirely BONKERS but I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are” comes from Alice in Wonderland sentiment set.

I made a shaker card. I cut out TEA letters and made that part as shaker. I added little diamonds, hearts and sequins. To finish off the card I added some white lines with white gel pen.

Have a great Sunday.
Hugs, t.

Tamara here with my new card for Stamping Bella design team. Even though we’re still in the middle of the Winter I chose Spring happy colours for this one. I really like this Curvy Girl With a Sign because she can be used for soooo many different ocasions. I used “Miss You” on mine. These sentiments come with the image, so you really get a lot with one stamp set.

Image was stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black on 300 g HP Fabriano watercolouring paper (extra white) and then coloured up with Distress ink pads.

Distress ink colours used are:
skin: vintage photo
cheeks: worn lipstick
hair: antique linen, walnut stain
dress: victorian velvet, black soot
rainbows on her dress: fossilized amber, barn door, broken china
sign: scorched timber

I used rainbow and some clouds at the back. There are little hearts “raining” down. Details were added with white gel pen.

That’s it from me today. Have a great Sunday!
Hugs, t.

Tamara here with you with my latest card for Stamping Bella. As you can see I’m fully in Valentine’s Day mood. For this card I chose one of the newly released images called Bleeding Heart Oddball. One of my neighbours had this plant since I’ve been a kid and I always admired it’s gorgeous flowers. We’re in the middle of the winter with crazy low temperatures and lots of snow and I’m already thinking about Spring and flowers.

I stamped my image with Archival ink – Jet black on 300 g HP watercolour paper and then coloured it up using Distress ink pads. Colours used are: vintage photo, fossilized amber, picked raspberry, peacock feathers, peeled paint. I added some details with white gel pen.

Sentiment “hello, love” comes from Love sentiment set.

That’s it from me today.
Hugs, t.
