Pootlers Blog Hop: My Family Portrait

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you so much for visiting my blog today which is taking part in the Pootlers Blog Hop. If you are new to my blog then I welcome you and hop that you will enjoy the visit and come back :-)

The theme of the blog hop is the new Spring Summer Catalogue. I have chosen to do a project using the Stamp Set Family & Friends. When I saw this set in the catalogue at on stage I immediately had an image of this project.

I really enjoyed creating this family portrait and was a paper labour of love, my partner has taken one of them to work for his office :-)

Creating your family portrait

  • Using the Family & Friends stamp set it is easy to create a family
  • The stamps are photopolymer so it is easy to line them up
  • There are lots of different hairstyles and clothes to chose from with extra features like pets

Colouring in

  • I have so far made 3 portraits and each I used a different medium to colour them in
  • Water colour pencils
  • Stampin' Write markers with a blender pen
  • Blends alcohol markers
