"Life is Sweet!".........Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #44

Once again I hope you've had a fun weekend! Here is this weeks Midnight Madness creation. Details can be found HERE. I decided to try my hand at stamping on fabric. I used a piece of white muslin and lightly stamped a diamond background with pink ink. Next I stamped the focal image with black "Versacraft" ink. This ink is formulated for use with fabric. It's truely the only ink I have found that doesn't bleed. The image stamps sharp and crisp. First I tried to color the hummingbird with SU markers. Not liking the effect I switched to KOH.I.NOOR "Gioconda" soft pastel pencils. These are like chalk in a pencil form, much softer looking and again don't bleed outside the edges.




Here are the details:

Stamps:  Unknown diamond background, Inkadinkadoo clear stamp Hummingbird, CHF's Sheet Music Backgrounder


Paper:     Neenah solar crest  80#, SU "Taken with Teal", "Pretty in Pink" and Black

Ink:         Vesacraft black, SU Taken with Teal and Pretty in Pink, Pastel pencils 8820/15 and 8820/38

Other:     Nestabilities, Muslin, Pink velvet ribbon from Joanne's, Crystal flourish, crystals , Kaiser pearls, Stardust stickles, MS leaf punch, Prima rosebud and a generic white flower, black lace from Joanne's.


Thanks for taking a look and have a great week!
