Cute angel stamped images by Polkadoodles UK
November 21, 2018
Oh my! a few months back I was chatting with the super talented Nikki Hall the owner of Polkadooles UK. I did some design for her and I fell in love with her work and the quality of her products...
So I informally told her that for Christmas we need more images of angels as they are very versatile and can be used for different occasions. I knew she could create the most beautiful images.
For my surprise, she sent me a happy mail filled with angel stamps!!! Look at that!!! They were in pre-production when she sent them but I really wanted to give them a try and share them with you. Aren't they gorgeous?
The stamp collection is called Winnie Heavenly and it is also available to download in digital here, you can also get a massive digi- bundle here and I think they are amazing value for money.

So I wanted to keep these cards very simple and clean to feature the stunning images and to complete these cards, I simply added a layer of Tip Taupe cardstock.
These are C6 cards, although the one in the centre is slightly larger as I used a C6 Honey Bee Stamps die from a die set called Deckled Edge A2 so I had to add ab it of extra length.
I'm never worried about the size of the cards BTW as I know you can make them in your favourite size.
I added sentiments from two different stamp sets: Joy to the word by Honey Bee Stamps and Very Merry Sentiments by Concord and 9th

I like to use the super black ink by Simon Says Stamp to stamp sentiments but this one is a bit thick to use on watercolour paper so using the stamping platform, I first stamped the sentiments with Versafine Black ink and then I stamped the sentiments again (twice) using Simon Says Stamp Balck Ink. The sentiments couldn't be any crispier and neat.
To achieve very crisp stamped images ( the angels), I used the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform and I stamped 3 times using Memento Black ink to be used with Alcohol markers and Versafine Black Ink to use with waterbased markers.
Each Ink has different properties and with the time I learned to take advantage of them :).
That's all for today.

Oh Bibi these are awesome, they remind me of a story book set of illustrations I had in a book when I was little. I must have been in hiding to not have heard of this company on my short journey so far, off to see more. Thank you for my blast from early years.
