Blessed

These images are from the Blessed Are plate of stamps from the Stampsmith. I am fascinated by the different art interpretations of the Madonna and child image and in the case of the first picture, of Joseph. These stamps make wonderful cards for friends of faith. All are stamped with Memories black on glossy cardstock, and coloured with water based markers used as paint. The metallic background for the blue madonna was done using a gold paper, run through a cuttlebug folder and coloured with alcohol inks. I like to keep these fairly simple, with few embellishments to make the main image pop. It also makes them easier to mail.

Supplies used - Stampsmith stamps, cuttlebug folder, wizard, distress inks, alcohol inks, various cardstocks and fancy papers
