Mirror, Mirror By Kat Fullman

Hello to all, Kat here, AKA Kat's craft creations I am absolutely thrilled & privileged to be invited to be the GUEST DESIGNER for the month of April here on the Artistic Stamper Creative Team.

May I take this time to say a big thank you to Hels & Jennie
for the opportunity to show my craft creations here.

My first piece I would like to shaer with you is a Mirror that I have altered.

I have placed a piece of paper over the mirror

(so you don't get me in the reflection)

I have taken some step by step pics

to show how I made it and some of the things I used are also in the pics,

(so there will be less writing to read)

That's always good in my book.

I used

stamps from the the artistic stamper range pictured below;

Here's the mirror before I altered it;

I made a template using white card

With Antique Linen distress ink & blending tool

distress white card as shown,

Then use the same ink & this Calligraphic Mat 13 stamp

(love the size of this stamp)

& stamp all over as shown,

With these 3 stamp sets,

Botanical plate 1 , Architecture plate 1 & Insects & Butterflies no1

I stamped ramdomly using Sepia Archival Ink

Using Vintage Photo Distress Ink

blend inner & outer edges as shown,

Then glue this to the mirror,

Next is the embelishment part,

Using Flower Power & Dots background stamps,

& Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans & Rusty Hinge Distress inks,

Wendy Vecchi studio 490 Leaf stamps ,

Tim Holtz Tatterd Rose Die & Grunge Paper

Make a selection of flowers as shown in pic above,

remember to shape them for extra dimention, then glue together,

I added a touch of rock candy distress stickles for that extra touch of sparkle

Hels has a fab tutorial on her blog

for the rose if your not sure how to make them.

Add some sparkly bits or gems,

I have used old & broken bits of jewellry for this one,

some silver buttons & 2 decorative stick pins from my stash

all stuck with silicone glue.

I think I have rememberd everything,

I will be back on the 14th with my second project

see you then, Have a crafty day,

Kat.
