Bought some gorgeous new stamps at Ally Pally from a company called Visible Image. I was a bit disappointed that they are acrylic stamps as I tend to go more for the rubber nowadays but having said that they stamp really well.
On this card I used the single horse, Fleur-de-lys and the script from the Revolution set with loads of inking. Did the water stamping technique on the horse and also white embossed him as well.
Ah, you discovered VI did you Shirley, like you I am not a big fan of acrylic but this horse might be an exception and beautifully done in your hands.

Awesome card Shirl, the white hi-lighting and the white over stamping of the horse makes for a brilliantly dramatic piece of art. Having a great time crafting with you today.

So sad I missed you at Ally Pally… ah, well, another year!
Love your design here – the shadowed horses are wonderful, and the fleur de lys makes such a bold statement.

I have a couple of VI’s stamps and like you, I find they stamp really well. The horse is fabulous and I love how you shadowed it – your card design is wonderful Shirl. Love this! Hugs, Anne xx
Had to pop by for the first time in an age when I saw your stunning card Shirley. So beautiful in colour and design and a gorgeous main image too.
Sorry to take so long to get here.

Beautiful design Shirley, perfect for a masculine occasion. I also really like Visable Images designs. Cheers, Shirleyxx
A stunning card Shirley! I love what you have done with this image x
WOW! Shirl, this has SO MUCH DIMENSION – LOVE the white highlighting and the drama of the black in other areas. It’s really amazing how the art elements look as though they are in front of the horse. Your collage is beautiful, and I love the message of strength, fluidity, and timelessness it conveys! hugs, de
A gorgeous image of the horse, looks dramatic with the shadows.

I was like you Shirl, until I realised that not all clear stamps are the same, the good quality ones take the ink well and stamp well. Clear stamps also have the advantage of being easier to position. Good choice of design and beautiful card!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love your idea to stamp the horse both in black and then emboss it also in white aside.. With the Fleur-De-Lys in complement, the result is fantastic!! Hugs and Love, Coco xxx
