A little Bird told me....

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

How are you all?

Shilpa here,

Today I am sharing with you 'a Wall hanging Project' which I have created with Neil Walker designed 'large heart stamp'. 

Let me share with you how I have created this. 

I applied gesso on to the most of the part of brown packaging piece. When it dried completely, I stamped text with  Artistic stamper Calligraphy Mat 4. Also added some texture with Mini sequin background stamp to create a background.

 Next I spritzed water on gessoed area and applied Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick distress paints randomly. I adhered white lace and brown burlap piece to create layers. 

On another white stamping paper I stamped large hearts with tattered rose distress paint. Fussy cut them. And attached on the surface. Cute little bird is from 'Birds of feather' stamp collection.

I die cut all the flowers from Sizzix Tattered floral die and blue burlap. 'A Little bird Told Me...' sentiment  stamp is from Artistic stamper Birds of Feather collection. I stamped it with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink.

And here if full view of my wall hanging...

Hope you liked my project. Looking forward to read your lovely comments.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Supplies used:

Artistic stamper stamps : Calligraphy Mat 4 , Mini Sequin background stamp, Birds of Feather

Distress Paints - worn Lipstick and Tattered rose

Sizzix Tattered Floral die

Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink

Measured Time Part Two Time Flies

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well I have for you today the second part 

of my original tag that went towards making Measured Time, (please
see 10th september post on this blog)

and now Time Flies.  

The instructions on how to make the base tag are on the post

Time Measured.

Here's a few photo's below of the original tag, The paste I used to 

put through the artistic stamper stencil Splats and was a crackle paste.

I enhanced the top with fired brick distress ink 

blended on with a blending tool.

Water colour paints and distress inks were used to colour the original 

tag and The Artistic Stamper Stamps were Numerical plate ,

Emphemera plate and graph paper stamp.

I triple embossed black card with gold embossing powder and stamped

 the artistic stamper post mark from the Katy Leitch carte postal plate.

I used grunge board for the clock and used the Tim Holtz 

clock die. I coloured the clock and embossed it to

 look like old rusted metal.

I used Viva Ferro Graphite I put it on the top 

of the tag with a palette knife.

I stamped the dragon fly from the Artistic Stamper insects and butterflies plate,

onto a piece of card. I coloured the card with metallic

 paints. I used Versafine Onyx Black and then used

 clear embossing powder over & heat set.

I cut out the wings and used beads from my stash to make up the body 

for the end of the tail I used Ranger gold Stickles.

I attached the dragonfly to the clock from the Tick Tock 

plate which had been embossed onto whites card

that had been coloured with broken china 

and spiced marmalade distress ink.

I assembled it all together and attached the postal marks

over the graphite which had been enhanced with 

Gilding wax.

That's it for today, I hope you have all enjoyed this two part 

project. Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to 

let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x

Artist trading block by Titbelsoeur

Hello happy crafters, this is Titbelsoeur on board today !

Question : What do you do if you want to test the ATB technique, AND use these awesome new stamps from the Artistic Stamper ?

Answer : very easy ! 

You cut 6 equal pieces in a cardboard (mine are 15x15 cm) and adjust them together to make a dice :

you cover the edges with newspaper sheets :

add gesso randomly :

and distress them with walnut stain :

When the dice is done, I cut 2 scrapbooking sheets into 4 and distressed all backs and edges of 6 from them :

Then I stamped this paper (that will be on the top of the block) here and there with Florence's Flowers stamp :

On the 4 other sheets I stamped a single big one of some other Debbie Cotton stamps :

and here is my block :

To decorate the top of the block, I added some little things like cogs, a fridge lamp, a car key and key holder, a dried rose, and....

 

 this flower I am very proud of, though it was very easy to make : 5 circles cut in an old pair of jeans, pinched with just a stitch, then gathered with a few stitches, ribbon, lace and a big wooden button...

Don't forget that every month we have a challenge and this month it is 

Autumn colours. 

You find out how to join in here

Thank you so much for stopping by today,

Always waiting for your comments !

A tout bientôt !

Garden Beauties Bracelet by Alison Hall

Hello Stampers! I have some art jewellery to share with you today.

Here's what I used...

Garden Plate 1 A5

Ranger Alcohol Inks

Blending Solution

Felt Applicator

Glossy Card

Ranger Archival Ink - Watering Can

Memory Frames 1 x 1 ins - Black Patina

Memory Glass 1 x 1 ins - Clear

Tim Holtz Idea-ology Link Chain

And here's what I did...

1. I used alcohol ink and blending solution to make a pale background on glossy card, then stamped the Grecian ladies & the floral background with Watering Can archival ink.

2. I cut out 3 x 1 inch squares of the ladies heads, then 3 x 1 inch squares from the floral background. I placed them back to back between 2 pieces of memory glass, then inserted them in the memory frames.

3. I used jewellery pliers to attach the frames together, & added link chain & toggle clasps to finish my bracelet.

Thanks for dropping by,

Alison xxx
