Distressed in Time

Hi folks, welcome to my post for The Artistic Stamper. This month's theme is 'distress', my favourite theme! 

The Artistic Stamper products I used was the Girl with Clock stamp and Random Dots 6 x 6 Stencil.

I first created the background using the stencil and Distress Oxide inks. 

I stamped around the edges of the background using just the clock part of the stamp. Then stamped in areas using one of the stamps from the Mini Backgrounds #3 stamp set. 

I stamped the Girl With Clock stamp on to acetate and painted the reverse of the acetate with white acrylic paint. 

I then painted some ball head pins with black gesso.

I mounted the acetate piece on a double layer of foam pads and pinned the painted pins in to the foam.

Thanks for popping by my blog today.

Toodles for now,

Time to Dream @ The Artistic Stamper

Hello folks and welcome to my post for 

The Artistic Stamper. 

January is an 'Anything Goes' month. 

If you would like to join in with the challenge, here is the link to The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog.

Here is my creation...

First, I cut a piece of white card to 8" x 8" and inked the whole surface with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped the cross hatch stamp, from the Mini Backgrounds 3 stamp set, with clear ink along the bottom of the card. I applied clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. Then repeated on the opposite end of the card. 

I then inked the whole surface of the card with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I stamped the girl with clock stamp four times on to white card with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink.

I fussy cut the whole image twice, then with the other two stamped images, I fussy cut the area with just the girl and her dress. 

I inked the cut out stamped images with Vintage Photo and Picked Raspberries Oxide Ink.

On the top clock layer I inked the whole surface with clear ink and added a triple layer of clear embossing powder to give a shiny surface to the clock. 

To add some texture to the image, I adhered some Sisal in between the layers of the stamped images. 

And I wanted the Sisal to replicate the textures and layers in the dress.

To finish, I stamped letters for the quote from the Decay Alphabet (lower case) stamp set on to white card with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink and cut them out. I inked around each letter with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.

Here are the stamps from The Artistic Stamper I used to create this make.
