Farewell to Artistic Stamper and my top picks

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here, 

and sadly this is my last post at Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog.

I was on design team for 2 amazing years. This was my first international team and I owe to Jennie and earlier talented team members Alison Bomber, Alison Hall ,Astrid  for choosing me.

I literally grew here, in a creative way as well as personal way!

Jennie is fantastic boss, very generous, very supportive! Thanks Jennie for being there, ALWAYS!!

And my current team mates are inspiration to me.

With all mixed feelings.. saying goodbye.

Today I would like to share with you my few of my favourite posts on Artistic Stamper Creative Team blog. (Picture heavy post)

 

Hope you enjoyed looking at my past projects!

I would like to say thanks to you all for your support and comments.

I will see you around in our blog land.

Collage Journal page by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

We have the theme for this month's challenge - Collage

I created this journal page with Artistic Stamper Collage Art 1 stamp set.

Actually Collage is fun and very easy technique. Here on my pages, first of all I adhered old book pages, Tim's tissue paper, washi tapes. Next I stamped that collage lady image and butterflies images onto the pink paper, fuzzy cut them and attached. 

Further I used distress paints- worn lipstick, Broken china and evergreen bough, to bring on color on the pages.

Hope you liked my page and got inspired,

"Journey with Dragonfly" by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

I am sharing with you a creation with Artistic stamper Dragonfly stamp and Swirl stamps.

As we are celebrating all things distress this month here at Artistic stamper, I've used distress inks and stains to bring the colors on my page.

I started the background with stamping Dragonfly and flourishes with Jet Black Archival ink. Next I applied fossilized amber and wild honey distress stains on the surface, spritzed water to spread the color and heat set it with heat tool. With honeycomb stencil and Walnut stain distress ink, I created texture. Further I stamped text with Calligraphy Mat 3

Dragonfly is die cut from Sizzix Tim Holtz design.

Hope you liked my creation and got inspired,

You have 4 more days to join our "All things distress" challenge this month.

Textured Art Journal page - by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

Today, I've a journal page to share with you!

I've created this mixed media textured journal page with Artistic stamper Gibson girls stamp.

To create this background, first I attached few old pages to the surface, and applied gesso on it with palette knife. Next layer was with stencil and modelling paste.
When it dried completely, I used acrylic paints in pink, orange ad red to create more layers.

I did some texture stamping with Artistic stamper background stamps and archival inks.

I added few feminine metal charms at the corner for interest.

Artistic stamper Gibson girl stamps are my favourite!!

Heart Journal page Tutorial by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

Today, I am sharing with you an art journal page and its tutorial.

I've used many Artistic stamper Decay stamps to create the background on this page!

here are the step by step photos...

I stamped squares and rectangles from Decay Journaling Stamp set #2 with Jet blck archival ink. Fussy cut them and adhered them on surface to my satisfaction.

I applied mustered seed distress paint and spritzed water to spread it. I dried it with heat tool. And next I used decay numbers stamps with black archival ink to get more texture.
I also used Calligraphy Mat 3 stamp for text on my background.

For more texture I used stencil and gold embossing paste.

I cut out heart and stamped on it with heart background stamp and Calligraphy mat #13 and Coffee archival ink. Applied Fired brick distress paint on it and spritzed water. Let it dry.

I attached the heart on the texture background and my page was ready? Are you liking it !

Adventure - Tag by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

I've created this mixed media tag with Artistic stamper Dragonfly stamp and Decay swirl background stamp.

here are step out

I applied Prima modeling paste on the tag with my palette knife. Before it dry, I took out my swirls stamp, spritzed water on it and stamped into the paste, it gave this fab texture design. Let it air dry completely.

Next, I spritzed Peacock feather and cracked pistachio distress sprays randomly on the surface. 

When the surface was dry, I stamped text and texture with few of Artistic stamper stamps and archival inks.

Further I stamped dragonfly and fuzzy cut it. I created layered background for it with burlap, tag, Tim's tissue paper. Attached brad onto the dragonfly for more interest. 

Hope you liked my tag and got inspired.

Thanks so much for stopping  by.

Art Cards by Shilpa

Hello Everyone,

Hope you enjoyed Christmas Holidays, I had lovely time too with family.

Wish you all Happy and Creative year ahead.

So here I come with my first post of 2015.

I have created two Art Cards with Artistic stamper Home Sweet home stamp set.

cards sizes are 3.5" *4.5"

Here is the making procedure,

I started coloring a surface with magenta pink, white and beige acrylic colors. Everytime to make an art you don't need expensive products right. I've used good quality craft paints for this.

I used dots stamps from Mini background set with black archival ink for lovely texture.

For more layers I attached tissue paper, text paper and dry wall tape. Next I chose purple color.

and further I stamped text randomly.

I added bit of black and yellow color on surface as well.

 And more texture with stencil and Prima modeling paste.

Cute lil' houses images are from Kat's Creations stamp set - Home sweet home.

I stamped houses on painted paper and cut them.

and when I adhered them all on created background..

here is close up look of second card,

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 We have "Anything Goes" theme for this month's Challenge, hope you will join us
