Bonus Houndstooth

Since I posted earlier this evening I have been thinking about recreating a more feminie version of the houndstooth stamp design and once an idea is in my head I just cant leave it...

For this pretty version I used Models Own Utopia as my base colour and stamped the houndstooth design from BM 322 using Konad Psyche Pink. Utopia is a really pretty pale pinky grey which when contrasted with this ultra bright pink ends up looking almost bright white.

I am much happier with this colour version of the houndstooth design - what do you think? As always your thoughts and comments are more than welcome.

Houndstooth

Today I really fancied using one of the bold and quite 'hard edged' stamps that I usually steer clear of. I finally settled on the houndstooth design found on stamping plate BM 322. I think traditionally the houndstooth pattern is black and white but I decided to switch it up a little and used black and silver.

I used W7 black as the base and Barry M Silver Foil for the stamping. I have to say the results are quite eye catching and I found it hard to tell which was the base colour and which was the stamp colour.

Do you think I could make this a bit more my usual girly style by using softer colours? Maybe a white base and a nice bright pink stamp? One for the 'to do' list I think :-).
