INKtober

Hello, welcome to my post for The Artistic Stamper. This month is INKtober month!! Which is perfect for us stampers.

So here is my make...

I first stamped the butterflies from the Insects and Butterflies stamp set with brown distress ink then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I made the background by mixing a blue and green distress ink with water on to a craft mat, then swooped a piece of white card through the ink.

I then used The Artistic Stamper Random Dots 6 x 6 stencil with oxide ink and stamped over the top with the ring stamps from the A4 Swirls, Splats and Dots stamp set with oxide ink.

I then used the Decay Alphabet Lower Case set to stamp the sentiment onto another piece of card with the same ink, then matted and layered it.

Thanks for popping by,

toodles for now,

The Artistic Stamper . . . My 1st post!!! The Artistic Stamper Challenge - Christmas

Hello folks, and welcome to my 1st post for The Artistic Stamper Challenge.  

My 1st creation is for the Monthly Challenge which starts on the 1st December, so the theme could only be... Christmas.

Here is my creation...

I first placed The Artistic Stamper 6 x 6 Random Dots mask on a piece of white card and spread a thick layer of structure paste through the mask then left to dry.

I inked the background using Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks.

I then stamped in between the random dots of the mask using The Mini Backgrounds A6 (Neil Walker) Stamp Set.

I stamped the 3 baubles from the Tick Tock Christmas Baubles set on to white card with blank ink then cut them out and inked them using Distress Inks. 

I stamped the same stamps on to acetate using flake and glitter glue, then added gilding flakes. 

I layered the acetate baubles on top of the card baubles and punched a hole in the top. I then thread through some black cord and some old chain.

I stamped the sentiment from the Tick Tock set on to a separate piece of card in black ink. I added flake glue around the edge of the sentiment and the edge of the background card and added more flakes. 

I adhered layers of foam pads on the back of the baubles to make them stand from the background page. 

To finish, I mounted the background on to black card.

Here are the items I used from The Artistic Stamper and they are all available on the website.
