Classic Masculinity

Here's a card featuring soot stamping technique. I stamped the image a long long long time ago. Just had the time to make it into a card today. So, I really don't remember if this is a straight soot or a reverse soot. I guess if I check the stamp, I'd be able to tell you. Just another simple guy card from me.

Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Sisters

Another (kinda) soot technique. I did this one a little differently by stamping over a coloured glossy cardstock with the left-over soot on the stamp.

I started by applying a little colour to a piece of glossy cardstock with a make-up sponge. I stamped the image with a stamp that had soot left on it from working on another piece. Then I wiped off whatever excess soot and sealed with spray fixative. And this is what I got. The Sisters image is by B-Line Designs. On the brown cardstock, Fine Lace was stamped using Vanilla craft ink pad, both are by Stampin' Up! Finished off with ribbon, button and lace.

Thanks for stopping by today!

(No) Postage Due...

This is another Soot Stamping I did a while back, very straight forward kinda card! The main image is by The Queen's Dresser Drawers. The cancelled postage stamps on the background piece are by MaVinci's. The faux seal is done by melting hot glue and stamping while still hot. I coloured it with alcohol ink. Hope you like!

Da Vinci Woman

This is a piece of Soot Stamping that I did a while back but never made it into a card until now. I started out with a piece of glossy cardstock and ran it over burning flame until the card is all black and sooty. Then I stamped the image (Sorry, I don't know who made the stamp) to remove the soot from card. Be mindful not to touch the card because it will smear. Then I sealed the stamped image with clear matted spray sealer.

A Pair of Fresh Eyes

This next card is a Reverse Soot Stamping I did a long while ago. I started out by stamping the image on a glossy cardstock with VersaMark and then ran the stamped card over the flame until it turned black and sooty just like you would the regular way. Then I used a facial tissue to wipe off the sooted image. What was left is the image with soot on it. I then brayed on the orange colour on to the image. Sealed with the same clear matted spray sealer. I then added Diamond Glaze to the tiger's eyes to give it a little depth. The image is by Coronado Island Designs & Stamps. The verse I printed off of our PC.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Monday!
