Z is for Zebra
My latest page for the Alpha challenge at The Craft Barn had me delving into my stamp stash to find this stamp, I like how this challenge makes me search through my stamp stash and use the ones which have been left unloved (shame on me!) for a long time. This stamp is no exception as it has to be one of my early buys when I first ventured into the world of rubber stamps. It is a wooden cube stamp by JudiKins with 4 designs I have used just 2 on my page and have chosen to leave it black and white. I was tempted to get my water colours out......
I stamped with Archival black ink onto my gessoed page creating a scene, the dictionary definition had to be cut from another dictionary as my Y page overlapped the Z page, I inked the edges with black soot distress ink. The letters are Tim Holtz range.....sorry forgotten what they are called ...they are self adhesive plastic. I am pleased I decided to leave as black and white as I now have several b/w pages which balance up my very colourful pages lol.

What a fantastic dictionary page - great word choice, and perfect to stick to the b&w palette. I wanted to say a quick thank you for your lovely comment on my Flower Book over at Artistic Stamper (yes, I'm a bit behind - sorry!) - so much appreciated.

Hi Maggie, I'm glad you left your page black and white too - it has so much impact. Gorgeous stamps and I love the composition with the smaller zebras in the background. MMx
ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely, I think leaving it black and white was a great idea. Claire x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, such depth in your stamping! Great job. Hugs Frea
ReplyDeleteLovely composition and I agree the black and white is stunning but the temptation to add colour - just a little would probably have got to me - then I would have said 'shouldn't have done that'.lol.
ReplyDeleteLol Carol I was sooooooo tempted!!!
DeleteA wonderful black and white page, love your take on the "Z".
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and inspired page, Maggie. I think B&W is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted that Judikins cube but then I got a zebra stamp in a grab bag and decided it wasn't needed. I love what you've done with it & I'm glad you've left it in black & white.
ReplyDeleteLovely page, I like how you used black and white ,stunning !
ReplyDeleteThose stamps are lovely, you must be pleased you found them again, they make a great African steppe scene !
