Stippled Frames Technique

This is a simple card at first glance. 

I punched a row of circle shapes and laid the 

mortise or reverse mask over my cardstock.

Then I stippled inks over the circle "holes"

I removed the mask and stippled a lighter covering of the same ink over the 

edges.  Then stamped the images (all by Posh and carried by Stamp A Mania)

Colored the images and added some fibers with smaller

cut out images attached and punched the corners.

Finished!

Hot Posh!

This sort of grabs your attention I bet.

I did the background by squirting reinkers over glossy and 

brayering over them, misting a little water here and there to spread colors.

The image is by Posh Impressions and can be found at Stamp A Mania now.

I colored the stamp directly with markers as it is more of a reverse image stamp.

Add a bit of fiber that seemed to be somewhat southwestern looking to me and 

stamped a bird from the same set and cut him out and affixed him to the fibers.

That oughtta warm you up a bit just looking at it!

Pots A Plenty

I set off this image by Posh on a background I made by

inking my brayer with several ink colors at a time and rolling it over the cardstock.

The brayer gives a much more subtle "blotchy" result than using the inks directly.
