Penny Black 1998...

I just completed this coloring by using color pencil and Sansodor as the blender...

This rubber stamp was the production from 1998 and of course again I get it with the help from JDA.

I'm going to use this to make a card for one of my friend.

I have another 5 same series rubber stamps and I will review one by one once I completed the coloring.

I hope to buy more and I really enjoy of the coloring...

Stay tune yah...

You Sure Like It...

Here are the Precious Moment that my Friend bought from Taiwan. Too bad this wooden rubber stamp can only buy from Taiwan and no other place in Asia. The reason is because the copy right issue.

Of course I like these stamps. I hope that I can go there and grab some back ne...

I have not try with any coloring yet, so I was thinking should I use water colors or just color pencil and sansodor...

I have not master Copic yet...

Anyway wait for me, after all the refresh and rejuvenate...I will "settle" it...kekekekeke...

Paris...

Well, after I completed all this 6 coaster, immediately I fell in love with all of them.  This is the effect that I wanted and the color just nicely blend-in with the background.  Yes...I did it...

I used the Distress Crackle Paint in the middle of the coaster and after that I inked it with 2 different distress ink colors, old paper and vintage photo.  Once the ink dry I stamped the wording from Hero Arts's background stamp Old Letter Writing with Stazon Timer Brown.  I used the same Stazon for the Eiffel Tower and Mail Stamp as well.

I took another white sheet of paper stamped the Eiffel Tower with Versafine's Crimson Red and Mail Stamp with Versafine's black stamp pad.  After the coloring I cut it out and paste as the 2nd layer on top of the first stamped image.

Once the glue dry, I finished it with a layer of Mod Podge.  Feel like going to Paris now...I hope you did enjoy the journey with me.

Cheers... :-)

Women In Hats...

And finally I managed to get one of this Tim Holtz's mask at Made With Love, I'm a bit disappointed because they left with this last design.  I'm going to try my luck this time with on-line purchase from Frantic Stamper to get all his mask and hopefully I can get it done as soon as possible.

I'm using the same technique from Tim Holtz for the Women In Hats coaster and this time round I applied another technique which was using the Distress Crackle Paint from Ranger.  The color that I used was Old Paper.  I applied the crackle paint before I did the masking and after that I used the distress inking and stamping method on the crackle paint.  It was so fun to use the crackle paint, you must try it out, trust me.  

These Women In Hats rubber stamp is from Hero Arts and the rest of the stamps used are retired stamp from Limited Edition and what I heard from Freddy is this company is no longer in production.  I got this stamp from JDA's very old stock that kept by Freddy and he just offered the last 4 stamps for me.  Again...he know me well that I will take his offer.

Well...of course I like them all and they are all so useful with my current project.

My New Hero Arts Rubber Stamps

These are not new stamps from Hero Arts but I'm so happy to own them.  All these stamps were brought back by Freddy from JDA.  He went to Hero Arts headquarter and he brought a few back with his luggage and he purposely kept these two sets for me.

I'm so touched and these also become my favourite collections.

I like sea shell and of course I won't let this goes as well.
