Hi there Artistic Stamper Fans. For this months " Steampunk" challenge I have made a little book, titled Secrets!!...not that I am gonna put my deepest darkest secrets in this book, but I will fill it with nice secrets, probably relating to my Grandchildren and the enormous amount of love I have for them, then hopefully when I have left this mortal coil, they will find it and read it...not that they dont already know how much I love them, jack, who is six, told me last week that he is fed up of me telling him how much I love him and how gorgeous he is..lol!!...Billy is only two, so he is lovin telling me he loves me, and me likewise!!

Mixed Media Canvas - You & Me

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

Today, I've a Mixed Media Canvas to share with you.

In my this canvas I made 'the Light bulb stamp'  as a  focal point. Those stamps are from Artistic Stamper 'Steampunk' Collection stamps.

It all started with layers of design papers and graph papers from stash. I attached flowers, shells, buttons, small light bulbs,small wooden heart with 'love' carved on it, paper clips, small cloth clips as my second layer. Applied gesso, as I wanted to get uniform colour on them. When it dried  completely, I stared layering my ink colours.

I've used blue , green and yellow from Lindys stamp gang spray inks. I stamped text with Artistic stamper calligraphy mat 4.

I stamped the Light bulbs with Artistic stamper Inspiration Light bulb and Ranger Archival Inks. Fussy cut them and attached them with foam tabs.

It is always fun to mix and match crafty and artsy ingredients to create something beautiful. I hope you liked my adventure here. Waiting for your comments!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Up Up & Away Again! By Anita Houston

I'm back! Sounds a little scary, huh? The Artful Maven, Anita Houston here again, and I am thrilled to be back to show you my second installment using these amazing stamps from The Artistic Stamper!

I hope you caught a glimpse of my first project, but if not check out my Project #1, so you will see the theme I have going on here for Project #2. 

This is another 8x10 inch canvas, and I used eight stamps as well for this one. I've had so much fun making these inspirational canvases, and this is the first time I've ever made a family of canvas pieces, that would not only look well together but also apart. I really love how these stamped images can easily go together.

I began by stamping the European Map Background in Sepia Archival Ink and then heat embossing it in Ranger's Clear Powder. I also did the same with the clock that I stamped in Jet Black, and I used Snow Cap Paint Dabber to stamp the swirls. Both of these are from the Tick Tock plate.

I stamped both the Cogs Background and Small Cogs onto tissue paper using all three of the metallic Paint Dabbers.

I played around with some Dylusions Ink Sprays and came up with a nice looking rusty background for the cogs and gears using first Melted Chocolate, then Pure Sunshine, then bits of Black Marble.

I cut out some of the cogs and adhered them to the center of the sun. I stamped some of the words on the Journaling Words 2 set in Jet Black for the sentiment and heat embossed them as well. Then using a few pieces of scrap to mask off some of the canvas, I began misting with Dylusions, and my painted and embossed parts resisted the ink of course...love that!

Using silver cardstock and more metallic paint, I stamped the lightbulbs from the Inspiration Light Bulb set, the diamond border from Borders A5 #1, and the key from Time & Keys, and I cut them all out.

I added more cut out cogs to the lightbulb, some Distress Ink, and metal bits and gears.

Using the Sizzix Layered Wings Die, I die cut silver cardstock and white tissue paper for lots of layers.

When I was in London, I purchased these wonderful paperclips at Liberty of London. I colored them with Alcohol Ink to give a little foliage look.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll be back in a few weeks with the last of my canvases. Thank you for looking, and for all the wonderful comments!
