A Deck of Art....2 of hearts-childhood-3/18
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
Hope it does take a while to get the hang of photo stamps! believe me...lots of failures in garbage....don't use juicy ink or it will puddle...a nice archival dye based is the way to go...i tried distress inks and they were a disaster! My stazon is the best for me. I really like your little farm girl....makes me think of the days i spent on DGF's farm as a little girl.

Me too, I never wore bibs but I did like to ride on the tractors, and play in the barns.Ruth Ann Landry wrote:I really like your little farm girl....makes me think of the days i spent on DGF's farm as a little girl.

Thanks Ruth AnnRuth Ann Landry wrote:Hope, you must use photo stamps with glossy paper...I use them all the time and love them, but anything with texture will break up the image.

You can use a matte finished paper too but it can't have any texture at all.
Also Dye inks work better than pigment. The pigment ones tend to be too wet and clog up the tiny holes in the stamp
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
For photo stamps I've found that Versa Mark works so much better than Staz On. It seems to give a cleaner image. I don't mind the little bit of breakage that I get with a lightly textured paper, but smooth is definitely better.
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
I like the background color Hope. Thanks for the tips about photo stamps. I have some on my list now I'll need to add glossy paper too!

I was hoping to finish mine tonight, but I really tweaked my ankle bad today and am going to bed with good drugs. I'll just have to play catch up later! At least I have the picture printed out and a design in my head--I'm with you in spirit!

Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
Versafine ink is always my first pick with fine detail images such as photo stamps.

I am with Ruth Ann, glossy or no texture paper with StazOn or Versa Mark and a very smooth surface below and tons of even pressure when stamping... I have tons of failures in the trash also .. but I so love those stamps

Here's mine. I found the pic online, the brad was from my stash and I printed out the words - but everything else was from a PIF envelope.

I love that saying, also the second part of it. Nice job on this Gwen.
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
my dad used to say that rhyme to me all the time when I was little (and sometimes pouty) so many memories this week.
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
wonderful card Gwen
we used to get that said to us all the time as well (though usually it was the second part that was being applied )

I'm going to be playing catch up on this. I still haven't picked up my cards and didn't even think about making them like Marianne but I plan on getting them this morning and hopefully doing two before our NC get together this weekend. I just love seeing what everyone is doing with these.
