Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good morning everyone. This morning I decided that I really should complete one of those zentangle card samples. They are being made using peel-offs as the main image - so in order to have a play I stuck the image on card & scanned it to use.  This left the peel-off image for when I had made up my mind exactly what I would do. I completed two images trying out different designs & then decided on the ones I wanted to use. Here is the finished card, along with 2 closeups using the silver peel-off image; I have another image to work with - a gold image.  Because I work, at the moment mainly in black ink, I think the silver peel-off is going to look better than gold - but we will see. I am going to take one of the practice images I have & add some colour using distress inks to see what difference that will make.  So watch this space. I am off shortly for my crochet workshop I have this afternoon - need to leave a little earlier than usual ...

I stamped in black on cream card, then cut them out roughly, & with a fine black pen zentangled them.  They were then trimmed & glued & placed on a piece of cream card.  This was then mounted onto a square of black card, then onto a cream scalloped edge square card.  Comments welcome. I am writing a post about them on my stamping blog & will have some closeups of the sections.  So if you are interested - pop over there & take a look.  But allow me time to wr...
