Been to our local craft shop in Burleydam Garden Centre today where Sarah McCrossan was demonstrating some fabulous new stamps from Impression Obsessions.
Had to buy the Trees and Lake stamp and used it this afternoon to make this card.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black and then used Pan Pastels to colour the image.
The 3 birds were added using a black fine liner and I heat embossed the sentiment in white.
I used the Pan Pastels again to tone down the white mat.
The sentiment is from one of my most used sentiment stamp sets - Jane's Script which is from the Woodware Clear Magic range.
I also bought these really cute owls stamps which I will have a play with soon

Happy Crafting xx

Sheena Douglass had some fabulous show over the last 2 days on Create and Craft tv with brand new stencils and stamps.
Here are the samples I made for the "Man's Best Friend " collection using Spectrum Aqua Tints and Aqua pens along with some black gesso and lots of bling using the Pebeo Iridescent Dyna paints and gilding waxes.
