Hello everyone, I hope that you are all keeping well and that you have had a good break over the festive period. I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2022.
I am sharing a
couple of projects with you today showcasing stamps that were featured
on last month's shows on The Craft Store. The first is a little book
made from a huge tag and I have used the Damask Panel stamped three times onto a Brusho background, using a metallic embossing powder.
I scored inbetween the pieces, to create the book. I cut a few pages, and sewed them into the book using bookbinding thread.
I added a piece of teal ribbon through the hole at the top of the tag to allow the book to be closed. This simply wraps around the book, and ties in a bow. These little books make great gifts, and are really quick to make. You could add any kind of pages; old book pages, kraft paper, watercolour paper, whatever you like, to create a mixed media book, but I used drawing cartridge for my sample.
My second project is an old project, which I thought I would share again. I stamped Ophelia
onto a piece of Drawing Cartridge and masked the image with Masking
Tissue. I coloured the background with Distress Inks and splattered the
background with water, which I blotted with tissue. I added some
stamping over the top using a stamp from the Texture Fragments stamp set. I stamped and embossed the fronds from the Underwater stamp set before removing the mask. I coloured Ophelia with pencils. I added some foliage from the Song Thrush Silhouette
stamp, which coloured this way tie in with the flowers in her hair
quite well. I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the centres of the
flowers.
I will be back later in the month with more projects to share with you, take care and thanks for stopping by, xx
