I spotted these REALLY cool and funky stamps from Bombshell Stamps at 3dJean's shop just before Christmas and my lovely hubby bought me a set as a pressie!
I love retro and vintage images but these are far removed from the classic Victorian and Edwardian stamps that are so often available to us crafters, these are classic tattoo images and 1950's style pin-ups, not a penny farthing in sight!
So I've been having a play and finding out just how versatile these images can be!
Firstly I experimented with how to colour them in. In one set I used my water colour pencils;
and another set I used Pro Marker pens which gave a richer colour; but I liked both effects!
Here are a few different types of card and tag I've made using the various stamps from the Retro Cow Girls set of stamps;
Look there's that metal again on the last card- I told you I was using it lots!!
These are wonderful, fun stamps that make great cards for anyone especially those tricky to make for, MEN!
Happy crafting!
