Good Morning all

Time for the mid way post for We love stamping where the theme this month is

FAVOURITE STAMPS 

optional add RIBBON/LACE

Not easy picking a favourite stamp, I have so many but this one from woodware called 'wild meadow' Is an old favourite.  Its a great one to stamp over a handmade inky background.  I wouldn't say I have a favourite brand of stamps either, my tastes are very eclectic😀

Card size approx 5x7"

I bought 3 cosmic shimmer airless misters in the January sales so decided it was time to try them out - LOVE them, which is sad as Creative Expressions who do the cosmic shimmer range have now retired.....but good news is Katy Sue are taking on the cosmic shimmer range.  Unlike traditional sprays these don't clog and can spray at any angle...even the pearl ones don't clog up like traditional style sprays....Anyway I had 3 colours and used them all on this background.  One of them is shimmery pearl so when the light hits it it really comes to life.

I stamped my image with versafine clair ink 'medieval blue' and die cut into shape, matted onto a large blue shape.  I worked out where i wanted the ribbon to come and adhered to the back of the panel and then added to a white base card die cut with the nesting dies.

I die cut the birthday sentiment circle from white card and matted onto a blue circular frame, I added this over the ribbon slider with glue gel.

Pink gems added to finish to pick up on the subtle pink in the background.

This shows the true colour better - Ive had these diamanté ribbon sliders for years so was determined to use one.  I used soft blue and vibrant green satin ribbons to pick up on the background colours. 

I used a white posca pen to highlight some of the details in the stamped image

Its a shame that the photos just don't pick up the lovely shimmer of the one pearly spray I used but it adds a lovely soft shimmer effect.
