One Onion, three ways!!

Hello :)
Just popping by to share three cards I made for an article in last months Craft Stamper magazine... the theme was to use one stamp three different ways and I chose the onion stamp from Hero Arts Stamp your own Salad
                                                     

I love this stamp set with it's mix of solid and outline images and my first idea was to use the bulb and leaf parts of the onion separately to make a cluster of flowers....

I used the rock n' roll technique to ink up the onion bulbs and then cut the flowers out once I'd stamped all four petals :)

Next I tried some emboss resist for an all over pattern...

These were quite tricky to line up because I used Versamark ink but, by applying the embossing powder as I went helped me to see the pattern. I ironed off the EP after I'd sponged on the ink which gave me the dark blue shadow around each image.... I quite like the effect :)

Last card is some stamping and water-colouring with distress markers.... a study of three onions!!!

Thanks for stopping by :)
