The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog - My Final piece.

Hi everyone...

Well this is my third and  last piece for The Artistic Stamper Creative team blog - boo hoo!! I have enjoyed creating pieces for them... and what did I give them today?? Voila!!

 I did masking as my stamping technique this time... I hope it is as well received as the last two pieces... I seem to be on a vintage kick at the mo, and a bit old fashioned/Victorian... well MY take on that!!! So I made postcards...

 I overprinted my ickle birdie and cage with a fab music stamp then assembled all my pieces to make this card below...

The idea was to have a set of layers that looked like a pile of papers, letters and postcards etc, that were old and tattered. I hope they liked it over there, and that I get asked back again!!! Even if only to apologise LOL!!!! Please pop and support me over there, when you have left me a comment here. Thanks...
Love and Light

WOYWW #151 - New Toys and Simon Says S&S

Evening, morning, afternoon, where ere you be in the world. Happy WOYWW, courtesy of our lovely Julia at Stamping Ground... for those not in the know, we bare all for our art - well our desks/workspaces at least - too cold for anything else!!! I missed visiting several of you last week, as I was having a bit of a torrid time, but your comments for me buoyed me up no end, thanks...

So what have I been able to do this time??? Not a fat lot, but I did get to play with my latest toys...

 I treated to myself to some letter and number dies, in order to make marks and words on my Vintaj blanks...

 I also had these three - a flower, cloud and leaf...

 Rememer that block of steel I showed you a few weeks ago??? Some of you wondered what on earth I was getting so happy about!! Well, I had this in mind... and using a hammer is so satisfying!!!

 So I had a ickle practice on a square piece...

 I had lots of goes and then used some acrylic paint to fill in the indentations. I dabbed it on, and then wiped the excess off to leave it in the patterns and letters I had made.

 At Simon Says Stamp and Show they asked us to show a word, so I made a word on a Vintaj blank, and then added it to the background piece I made. Most of the stamps are from The Artisic Stamper, but the men and the french lettering are from TimHoltz.

Here is the close up of my circular blank... word, flowers, leaves and all!! - but it's not a blank anymore, didn't she notice!!??

 I added the piece to the vintage belcher chain then let it drape all around the piece...

And here is the whole piece, full frontal!!! I like the way it turned out. I am really enjoying using my Tim Holtz distressing tool on the edges of my paper and card...it helps to cut and fold, and gives a purchase for the inks...

Well that was my play with the new toys, but I also had some new stamps from Stamp Addicts, for my DT spot. I hope the girls like what I have made, and can use them on their next, up-coming TV show... 10th May, I believe... so here they are, just to finish off this post...

Thanks for visiting me and have a great week
Love and light
Frankie
