Good morning everyone. This is Astrid here with my very first post for the Artistic Stamper. I am very honoured to be part of the team and look forward to share some of my creations using The Artistic Stampers wonderful line of stamps.
For my first project I decided to create a little wall hanging;
I started by cutting a piece of 4 x 6 Kraft card. In the centre I sloshed on a thick layer of the
Terra Sahara and stamped the wetted
Chicken Wire Background stamp into it to add lots of texture to my project. I love how the background stamps lend themselves so well to this kind of technique. I let the Terra dry overnight and the next day I coloured it with
Black Paint Dabber and when that was dry rubbed some
Viva Inka Gold lightly over it to give it some sheen.
I stamped the
Music Background Stamp in
Archival Coffee on some smooth white card stock and spunched some
Antique Linen and Vintage Photo distress ink over it to give it an aged look. I tore a rough edge, edged it with
Walnut Stain Distress Ink and glued it on either side of the central panel. I also adhered some lace from my stash with
Claudine Helmutt Matte Medium
I stamped and cut out three of the stamps from the
Time and Keys stamp set in
Archival Black on thick white cardstock, and sponged some Antique Linen and Vintage photo around them.
I then glued the clock stamp onto one of the
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Locket Keys and glued that to the hanger.
Finally I finished my project by adding one of my home made roses and some little silk roses from my stash. To complete the hanger I still added some
Link Chain to hang it by with a couple of jump-rings
Well, I hope you enjoyed this little project, thank you for stopping by and I will see you again later in the month.
