Something I Love - We Stamp On Sundays

This week’s challenge over at Adventures In Stamping is 'Something I Love' I knew what I wanted to post for this so it was easy. Especially easy as this is a manicure I had already done. It is something I love though. I love gradients, rainbowness, stamping over gradients, and stamping images like this one.

This image is actually my favourite from the Big SpD-A Dashica plate I own. And that's quite a statement as there are so many awesome ones. But yes, images like this, that show majority of the base are one of my favourite types to use; especially over gradients or multi coloured backgrounds, this image is so detailed too.

  And a bad photo of them matte (Rimmel Matte Finish), which is actually how I wore them.

This was my first time trying the 'paint on the sponge method' for this gradient, and it turned out really beautiful as the colours worked so well together, but then I decided I wanted them more vibrant - and it went downhill from there, trying to blend each colour into the next became a little bit of a nightmare, and that's why I haven't included any photos of the gradient alone; because it looked like crap!

Bit of a dodgy scan/crop but you can see how pretty it is :]

I hope everyone's had a good weekend!

Orange, Blue & White Stamping

Jeez, I can't believe I've not posted since Tuesday, I got confuddled and thought I was doing a guest post today so didn't get a post together, my bad =P

So of course, more stamping with the amazing plate I won from Dashica Beauty, as soon as I seen this image I knew I wanted to do it with orange white and blue, I'm not sure why though. But as it turns out it feels like it has a little bit of an 80's vibe to it, or mabye 60's something retroish anyways.

I wish I'd just done white and stamped with the blue and orange, as the pinky looks red ¬_¬

 

And for good measure another kitty pic, Cheese was perving on this huuuge wood pigeon, seriously this is a bad perspective, it was bigger than her! Excuse the murky photo too - it was taken though a window.

 

Happy Friday ^-^
