Hope you are enjoying all the Crafty Individuals inspiration so far this week. Linda is with us today with a beautiful card and some triple embossing techniques to make a stylish seal.
I LOVE the whole vintage flag thing that is happening this year as a result of the Queen's Jubilee and the 2012 Olympics. One of the stamp plates that I particularly love is Crafty Individual's England, My Country!
I have used the plate on my all occasion card. Stamped in Maroon Archival and then coloured with Fired Brick Distress Stain I repeat stamped the flag to create the background.
I then triple embossed with Gold the Brittannia image to embelish... just look at the detail the stamp gives!

Nice work, I am really glad to be 1 of several visitants on this awful site : D
ReplyDeleteI've been in 2 minds about this set but you have definitely put it on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteLove the deep colours of the background and the embossing looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat embossing looks fantastic !
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces! I've resisted all 'national' type stamps but your work has convinced me that I do need some! I like the colours you've used because they are NOT red, white and blue! Not very pc of me! Glad I saw this - pity the stamps are already out of stock at my favourite shop!
