Mini Canvas Play by Gemma

Hello Everyone

I take a long break from any crafting over the holidays, and I often struggle to get going again creatively, I have been playing with the new stamps designed by Neil Walker. For my first post back on The Artistic Stampers blog, I made a bookmark using the border stamp of this stamp set. For this post, I have a small 4x4 canvas to share with you all. 

I used the square heart stamp, Dylusion sprays, and PaperArtsy infusions to decorate the canvas along with scraps from on my table.

Something new for me this year, I have decided to try and made videos of my projects, below you will find my first one of this canvas. It's a work in progress and I was so nervous.

Inspiration using red yellow and blue by Debs

Hi Everyone

Hope you are enjoying the challenge this month.  Such great colours!

Here is my latest piece of 'inspiration' for you 

I used a journal but this technique would work well on a card or on a canvas

I started by stamping some text using mini calligraphic mat 20 and calligraphic mat 11 with black archival

Then ripped up the text and stuck randomly onto the page and covered in white gesso

Next i added some grunge paste through the A4 Swirl Mask and then is started spraying

I used just three sprays Dylusions Cherry Pie, After Midnight and Lemon Zest

Nice and bright you might think!

This is exactly the same page after the ink has dried, dylusions reacts beautifully with gesso and immediately lightens the inks, giving you a much more subtle tone.

I stamped some of the shells from the Shells mat onto white tissue with brown archival and once glued in place i used a charcoal pencil to outline.  I then stamped inspiration from the Journaling words 3 mat

To finish i added a touch more gesso down the middle of the page

I shall look forward to looking through all of your project for this month and don't forget you still have a bit more time to still enter both on the blog or on the Facebook page

A Heart full Of Swirls By Dee

Hi everyone hope you are all well and enjoying your summer.

In keeping with our challenge this month I have a

Tag for you today.

I was having a play with the New Artistic Stamper stamps, I had stamped 

the decay swirl in blue and painted over with sage 

fresco finish paint. 

Next I stamped the swirl stamp in frayed burlap distress ink

and clear embossed.

I coloured a piece of card with delusion sprays and 

then applied Finnabair's 3D gel through the 

swirl mask.

It was swiped with silver gilding wax I ripped pieces

of and attached them onto the tag.

I cut the heart out of black foam board I clear embossed the

swirl stamp onto the foam board ad painted it in green.

next I swiped silver to make it stand out.

I wrapped metal wire around the heart and cut out some of the dylusion 

coloured card and attached that to the heart to break it up.

Next I wrapped ribbon around the tag and attached the

silver beads to the tag.

Well that's it for today I hope you have enjoyed this post

please let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
