JUST ONE STAMP - CHERYL BAKER


Just got the first set of cards for our new Just One Stamp feature - sent in by Cheryl Baker.





I love these - each one is so unique, and Cheryl stamped onto tissue for this one, then adhered the image to the card!







Thanks so much, Cheryl - these are great! A BladeRubberStamps UM stamp is on its way to you as a little thankyou prezzie for being our first contributor.






I hope this will give you all out there some inspiration, and get you sorting through all those cards you have hidden away. All you have to do is scan or photograph your card and email me the pic - click the Email Me button in the sidebar.

I am SO looking forward to seeing your artwork!

Stop Press! Addendum:

I managed to persuade Cheryl to tell me her techniques (enquiring minds, etc....) The tissue she uses is Hazza tissue (aka Hansa tissue in some art shops) and I think you might just get away with the heavier weight of giftwrap tissue.

Cheryl says:

I sometimes use coloured card on the background or twinkling H20's,or do direct to paper using various inkpads. Then I stamp onto the tissue carefully cut out and use Golden gel medium to stick it onto the atc or card. Sometimes I will cut out the image then colour half of it in with pens then leave the rest and add it onto card or atc.

Note
: If you can't find Golden brand products, Liquitex and Winsor & Newton also make gel mediums.

  4. I love Cheryl Baker's work - she is one of the best ATC artists in the country, by my reckoning.
    I am priveledged enough to actually own a selection of her ATC's and trust me whan I say, they're even better 'in the flesh', so to speak, than they appear on here.
    Your stamps lend themselves so well to her style. I have the same stamps, but I am embarrassed to say, I can't use them to the fab effect Ms. Baker can.
    You'd do worse than have her on your DT.

  5. As always, your stuff is fab.
    I like your 'Arty' suff even more than your 'straight' stuff - you have a real talent for the abstract.
