Release Day again :-)

A warm welcome to all who call by!! I do appreciate your visits.

This week at McMahon Five Design  there are six new releases in the digital range of stamps, and I am showcasing two of them.

Firstly there it the image named The Rose from the

 McMahon Vintage Digital selection

This is a wonderful image and I enjoyed working with it - I coloured it with chalks, and distressed the edges and sponged them with Tea Stain distress ink.

This was mounted on a thin piece of design paper that had skeletal leaves printed in gold on it, then mounted on kraft cardstock.

For a slightly more aged look, I rolled two of the corners and painted the back with Pearlescent gold ink, and also added a layer of the ink over the distress ink on the edges, which gave a wonderful depth to the distressed edges.

The narrow pink ribbon was gathered by hand and caught under the edges of the d/p, and a wee rose (part of a RAK) was added in the corner.

And for those of you who wish to peruse the poem by Edmund Waller, here is a photo of it.

Also from  McMahon Vintage Digital comes the nursery rhyme image

Little Miss Muffet  

I used chalks  and a blender pen to colour Miss Muffet and her (unwelcome) companion.  After colouring them I added the "cobweb" to the image before mounting it on some deep crimson card stock.

This was mounted on pink card stock (sponged with Rouge chalk ink) with a layer of florists mesh between - this has a gold thread in it that gives a lovely sparkle.

I added the half vintage corner after painting it with Oyster Twinkling H2O - the clear 'cobweb' is a Christmas decoration I bought from a local florist/gift shop last year.

The final detail was this braid - 

that was made with a narrow piece of white ric-rak, rubbed over the Rouge chalk ink pad and then wound with the 'cobweb'.
