One layer wednesday : 2 for the show


I love the challenge at one layer wedneday this week. You have to use 2 image stamps, just 2 stamps, no more, no less. No embellishments. The only things you are allowed to do are colour images with markers, and heat embossing.

I chose to use two Scrolls Work images. I used Emma in a recent collage article in craft stamper, and I think she's lovely.

I stamped the music stamp in grey ink and the Emma in black. I coloured her bow with whispers marker, and then sprinkled a little cranberry embossing powder loosely on the image and heated from the back.
Both of these ScrollsWork stamps are available directly from ScrollsWork or from Happy Daze in the UK


.... and not a hippopotamus in sight (you'd have to have come from the OLW challenge to get that!)
