Another way to use your background stamps by Titbelsoeur

Hi happy stampers !

I was looking for another way to use Artistic Stamper background stamps. I then spritzed my Linen stamp with Dylusion inks (blue, yellow and pink), left my stamp on the table and applied the canvas onto it. 
Then I stamped the Calligraphic Mat 13 randomly with black Archival

 

And finished with 3 stamps from the Architecture plates : Art, column and statue. The column and word were stamped on the canvas, while the statue was stamped on a bristol paper to remain white.

 

I would be very happy if my technique does inspire you, 

thank you so much for stopping by, 

I am looking forward to reading your comments !

Do not hesitate to ask for help !

A tout bientôt,

Titbelsoeur 

To make this canvas, I used :
Background stamps
Architecture plates 
Archival ink 
Dylusions Inks

Remembrance by Alison (Craftytrog)

Hello Stampers.

I wanted to make something to mark Remembrance Sunday, as this post is so close to the day, & I came up with a tiny 10 x 7 cm canvas.

I took a 10 x 7 cm mini canvas, & gave it a base coat of Studio Gesso.

Next, I spritzed along the top with Cut Grass Dylusions Spray Ink, held up the canvas, & spritzed with water to make the ink drip down.

I dried the ink, then stamped Katy Fox's ink blots from the Messy Art Plate a couple of times, using True Red DecoArt paint.

I inked the edges of a Chit Chat Word Sticker with Walnut Stain Distress Ink, attached it to the canvas, then gave it a coat of Glossy Accents.

I finished off by gluing some black seed beads to the centres of the 'poppies'.

Have a great weekend everyone,

thanks for visiting,

Sing, Bird, Sing. by Alison Hall

Hi, Alison here again. This time I've been playing with mini canvases, Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint & wax.


I started off by adding some texture to the mini canvases, with some Viva Terra. When this was dry, I painted them with two shades of Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint, then blended them with some blank canvas Studio paint. Once they were dry, I stamped the script from Calligraphic Mat 12 with smidge of blue paint.

I melted some natural bees wax in my project pan, in the melt pot, then brushed some over the mini canvases. I stamped the little birdhouse from Birds of a Feather, and the bird & phrase from Birdsong Elements, onto music sheet, cut them out, then used the melted wax to adhere them to the canvases.


My base is a piece of corrugated card, that I painted with the blue Studio paint, then I adhered some torn music sheet with some melted wax.

Finally, I used strong glue to attach the canvases to the base, then attached a piece of Ranger lace chain with some metal brads, as a hanger.

I had a lot of fun making this piece, thanks for looking! xx
