Rare Earth Lace stamps

The Rare Earth lace stamps are amazingly detailed, intricate and stamp very clearly.  I have had a little play with them using the Rare Earth pitch black and Brilliance white inks on vellum but they could be used in many ways. The quality of the stamps is so good that they look like real lace. There are a number of frames and flower embellishments, as well as some useful sentiments.


For this card I used the textured word stamps for the background. The lace stamp was stamped in Rare Earth pitch black and mounted on a card made from a Tattered Lace tag die. I used one of the sentiments which come with the lace stamps.
One of the lace flower stamps was incorporated into the background. The background papers were also used to make the flower and butterfly embellishments. The decorative Auntie word is cut from black card using a Tattered Lace die.


I found the glue showed on this card so I added an extra layer of stamped vellum with the lovely flower design and the glue no longer showed. Unfortunately, I did not take the photo but it was shown on Create and Craft.

I stamped the flowers onto vellum using the Rare Earth Pitch Black ink and coloured the back with alcohol pens.  They are matted and layered onto the Tattered Lace oval shutter card.

These wonderful intricate hearts were stamped onto vellum which overlaid the background paper created using the textured word stamps. Extra layers were added to highlight the stamps. A few heart pearls and twine added extra decoration.

The lace flower was stamped in white on vellum and mounted onto a textured word background with skeleton leaves. A button and twine added extra decoration.

I love to see the different layers, again using skeleton leaves, the textured word background and the lacy frame stamped in Brilliance white on vellum.

I used one of the lace border stamps on this bag. It was coloured with gel pens. A different lace design was used in the centre of the card. It was stamped in Brilliance white on vellum.
