A Vintage Motor

Hi everyone hope you are all well!  & enjoying the Easter weekend. 

I have a vintage piece for you today. 

I started with swiping distress paint vintage photo, gathered twigs 

& walnut stain onto a craft mat and sprayed with

water from a mini mister.

I swiped my card through and paint and sprayed with the mini mister as I dried

it so the paints blended together. I sealed it all with a matt 

medium.

I inked up the Debbie Cotton car stamp Earls Automotive with 

Black onyx versafine & clear embossed it. Next I painted 

the entire card bar the car with cream acrylic paint.

I used blended distress inks in the following colours vintage photo,

walnut stain & scattered straw to colour spare card stock. 

Onto this I stamped images from the following stamps winged wheel &

 numerical plate. The numbers were stamped in 

archival ink cornflower blue.

The clock was an old one I had done previously from the 

Time & keys plate that had been covered in glossy 

accents and a curtain ring was attached.

I used ripped pages & glued them to the main image. I used two die cuts

which I stamped with the ruler stamp of the Empemera plate 

and I used this to frame the project.

I backed it all onto ripped cardboard that I had swiped walnut stain

paint. Please let me know what you think.

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.

Klimt Take On Salome By Dee

Hi everyone I hope you are all well, this piece is inspired by the artist

Gustav Klimt if any of you know about him

he was a symbolist painter. 

The moment I spotted this stamp I thought of his work

So with that in mind it would be rude

not to use gold.

Firstly I painted my board with Fresco  Finish paints in the

following colours Tikka, Seaweed, Brownshed, 

claret and Baltic Blue.

I stamped the Salome stamp to the centre in versa fine onyx black

and then clear embossed it. Then around the edges I stamped

with the small cogs design and gold embossed it.

I then added some hessian ribbon down the left hand side and

attached this with five brads. 

Next I picked out areas to highlight with old gold 

Fresco Finish paint.

I also used the Claret and brown shed to highlight 

other area's.

Next I used a small paint brush and applied glossy accents to 

highlight certain area's.

I poped this on to a vibrant red covered foam board.

I then placed this on to a black piece of card that I had randomly

stamped with the swirl pattern of the tick tock plate that had

 been inked with gold brilliance and heat set.

That's it from me today thank you for taking the time to pop by

please feel free to leave your comments 

happy stamping!

Do you know stamp kissing ?

Hello happy crafters !

This is Titbelsoeur today showing you the very last technique I found out on the internet : stamp kissing !

What is this about ? very simple : you have some plain stamps, like the Artistic Stamper's butterflies :

 and textured ones... you ink each of them with different colors, and make them have a kiss.... 

 so that your butterflies have clock wings if they have a kiss with 

 Fantasy ones if they are in love with

or steampunk wings if they kiss cogs :

Isn't it a funny technique ? and the results are really stunning, aren't they ?

I did make some, just to have a try, then cut them out and sticked them on to a card I had made the background with the fabulous Europe map and the Journey sentiment.

On the other side, you make nice stampings with the structured one :

Cogs background
Time and keys
Fantasy background
Flutterby
Europe Map background
A journey
Distress inks
Versafine inks

Thank you so much for stopping by, 

I hope you like this technique,and will quickly have a try :-)

I am looking forward to reading your comments !

A tout bientôt !
