I actually love birds, and I feel their symbolism—flight, freedom, magnificence, tune—make them so ideally suited for many events. This little birdie has a sentiment which can be utilized or both masked off, and even snipped off the primary stamp.
He is stamped onto a Mattints-brayered background (with a little bit of Concrete paint in there too).
I’ve painted him in with some Mattints, which I feel is such a straightforward approach to create layers of shade.

This is one instance of the focal stamp sans phrases—I masked off the “classic submit” phrases from this undertaking since I needed the stenciled phrase to be partially seen. That stencil, PM029, is arising on this launch, too!
The flower is nice for coloring in—right here, with Mattints—and I like how the open strains distinction with the darker leaf and snippet of numbers.
The layer beneath the stamp is a reverse-stenciling method utilized in mixture with PM029. Under, I’ve made one other small undertaking with the flower stamped onto brayer-Mattinted tissue paper, which is glued onto white card. (“Brayer-Mattinted”…I am actually taking advantage of my new vocabulary!)

This little thistle additionally has textual content which can be utilized, or left off… or used individually for different initiatives. (Trace trace, you might even see this textual content in different initiatives quickly!) As with the flower and the hen, it is a nice one to paint in, both with Mattints, opaque paints, or pencils and pens.
This picture was stamped on Mattinted tissue, then coloured from the again with Fresco paints.
After I glued the tissue to white card and let it dry, I stenciled with Grunge Paste to create a body—this provides texture, but in addition helps to “develop” the scale of the picture considerably.

I *loooove* seashell pictures, particularly ones like this which have a classic vibe—right here, I paired it with some scripty textual content and postmark. Just like the flower, it may be layered onto a reverse-stenciled background.
Once more, Mattints had been used to color within the picture—and I like how the translucency provides to the layered impact.
The stencil is PM030, with a journey theme that works so fantastically with this picture!
And, beneath we’ve got the stamp wanting fully completely different—stamped in its entirety on Mattinted tissue, with that fabulous “voyager” phrase left in place. (Good eye in case you observed I snipped off the “r” for our Numbers stamp undertaking, to make it learn “voyage”!)

Effectively, what’s a Sara Naumann launch with out a few quotes?!? I occurred upon this one and thought it was simply so lovely on it is personal—however after all will work simply with any floral stamps, stencils or elaborations. And I like it on high of a merely brayered background—particularly with some stenciling!
The centered phrases make it straightforward to construct out the perimeters, with stenciling or maybe a stamped background picture.
I feel this sentiment is a stupendous one for playing cards, journal pages and naturally the small measurement means it may possibly additionally work on tags, ATCs and bookmarks. And—sure, you possibly can isolate only a portion of the sentiment, or only one phrase, as I’ve accomplished right here:
Eclectica³ Mini 120 by Sara Naumann (code: EM120)
The Poetry sentiment is very similar to the Love stamp—designed to work as a focal, or lovely when stamped with a light-weight ink or paint, merely floating in a background.
My background couldn’t be simpler—brayered Concrete Fresco, with Mattints on high. And, extra stenciling! (You should be *very* curious to see the stencils by now!)
I exploit this font lots—largely as a result of Leandra and I each prefer it for its classic type, but in addition as a result of it simply reads so properly. And, with so a lot of my older stamp designs utilizing this font, it makes it simpler for stampers to combine and match between generations of stamps.
Okay, this is another choice for you, simply the one phrase stamped on tissue and glued in between the stenciling:
