In celebration of our 2nd Poe Hop we released NEW stamps and I used one of the large Ravens on my project today!


 I used the following rubber stamps:
Lost Coast Designs newest Zentangle inspired Raven Left Large as well as the Long Swirl Flourish, Pencil Tops Border and Verticle ABC Border, Grunge Tree background and Diamond background from the ATC Grunge Background set and the small Nevermore text...which is one of the Poe Hop Freebies you can get just by placing an order!

I stamped the Raven with Black Archival ink onto watercolour cardstock and masked him with Pebeo masking fluid.  I then created the gorgeous blue and purple watercolour background with Nuance Pigment Powders.  I then got to work stamping all the elements to create the background:  the flourishes were stamped with Grape Jelly Memento ink, the verticle alphabet with Cloud White VersaMagic ink and the pencil tops border, grunge tree and diamond pattern and the Nevermore text (on a separate piece of white cardstock) were stamped with black Archival ink.  I then edged the panel in white Dylusions paint pen.  I coloured the Raven with a graphite pencil in the traditional Zentangle style once I removed the masking fluid.  The panel was layered onto purple/plum cardstock and I punched holes in all four corners and attached fleur de lis brads and then adhered it to a folded card made from a sheet of black cardstock.  I trimmed the Nevermore text, matted it onto black cardstock and then adhered it to the card.  To complete the card I applied black Studio G glitter glue to the black card edges as well as the Nevermore text.

That's it for today!  I have more Poe inspired projects to share over the duration of the hop too so see you again soon๐Ÿ˜‰

Now off you hop to see more fabulous Poe inspired creations!  Enjoy!

Happy Hopping
