Ohh!! I Do Love a Dragon fly By Dee

Hi Everyone I hope you are all well I have the beautiful Dragon fly

from the Butterflies #2 size A5 plate.

I started out with a cream tag that has some crackle paint on it in places.

Next I used the Calligraphic Mat 12 

 I swiped it through mat sealer and stamped onto the tag.

I then spritzed the distress paint with water then swiped the tag

 through the paint. Knock back the area's that had the script stamp 

stamped on it.

Next I took a square beer mat and cut the Tag up and assembled it to 

fit.

Crackle paste was put round the edges of the mat then antiquing cream

in black and patina were applied once paste was dried.

Iridescent turquoise paint was.

For the dragon fly I used pewter embossing powder and ultra thick embossing

powder followed by silver.

I stamped the dragon fly twice into the hot embossing powder.

I cut it out and then trimmed the top one back.

I threaded the beads with wire to make the main body and the antennae.

The base was coloured with the alcohol ink.

Well that's it for today I hope you all enjoyed my post 

please feel free to let me know what you think.

Bright Little card by Gemma

Hi Everyone

I hope now the festive season is over everyone is finding time to be crafty, I know this week is the first in ages that I have been able to get my toys out. Please join in this months challenge, which is anything goes, comment and follow. We really do appreciate it and enjoy looking at and reading them all.

I cut a piece of white card 16.5 x 12, and blended Mermaid lagoon, Abandoned Coral and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks over the top. I then place a chevron mask over the top and wiped away some of the ink with a wet wipe.

After flicking some extra drops of water over the ink I stamped over the top, using dots, chicken wire and calligraphy mat 4 background stamps. When I stamped I used the same colours of ink I blended onto the card and tried to keep the same colours in the same areas.

I then stamped out the main image, Lesleys's flowers using archival ink, which I coloured in with distress inks, and edged with Old Paper
.

I also stamped out and coloured a few of the smaller flower and the leaf that come on the same stamp set.

Once I had cut them all out, I attached them to the background that I had already glued to a card blank and wrapped some twine around. I also stamped out a sentiment and glued that in place.

Thank you for reading

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

Anything Goes Journal Page By Debs

Happy New Year everyone, Debs here with a slightly different Journal Page for you.

I used Dylusions paints In Vibrant Turqoise, Bubblegum Pink and Fresh Lime and a Ranger blending tool! I started with the Vibrant Turquoise.  Dylusions goes on really beautifully using a blending tool, giving a lovely smooth finish

Then Added some Bubblegum making sure to overlap with the Teal, because the teal is blue based when you put the pink over the top you get a nice shade of purple

Then I added in Lime overlapping the pink this creates an orangey effect because of the yellow in the lime.

I stamped Anything Goes across the middle with the Decay Alphabet Upper and lower case stamps  and black Archival Ink

And then using the Border Stamps in Archival went around each side of the page I used a piece of paper to mask off the edges so that the border lined up nicely

Once this was all done i used the blending tools to add some masking using the Splats and Swirls Mask using the same paints

Sorry the light wasn't terribly good on this one and I got carried away!! 

After the paint had dried i used my white Uniball Signo white pen to go around the outside of everything on the page including the letters, I also went over the border with a black marker to make it more prominent.

Now this was where i got really carried away and I am really sorry but the photo taking went out of the window.  Next i took Chevron 6x6 Mask and using a black micron pen i drew around all of the lines, using the mask as a template.

Once i had completed the whole of the mask I then took out the white pen and doodled in each line as you can see, white dots in the thinner rows and loops in the wider.  I also used a dot stencil and added circles around the outside edge and then drew white lines in each of them.  I also added black dots to the splats and swirls, using the micron pen. 

As always do let us know what you think, we do read all of your comments

Take care Debs

Lots of love, by Titbelsoeur

Hello, Happy Crafters, and happy new year to you and people you love !

I have made these 2 cards with Gelatos, on the "red" one I have stamped the "empty" Lesley's flower with black Archival ink and colored it with Promarkers, then I colored the "full" flower with Gelatos, spritzed it and stamped it all around the card. Then I stamped the sentiment with Plum Archival ink.

I made the "blue" card differently : I first colored the background with Gelatos and diluted it with water, then I stamped the flowers and colored them with Promarkers, and to end I stamped the sentiment and the butterfly with black Archival ink, and added lines and circles with black acrylic paint on caps and credit card.

 

Here are the stamps I used to make these 2 cards :
Lesley's Flowers in New Stamps 
"Lots of love" from Grungy Greetings #1 in Words and sayings
Butterfly from Encyclopaedia Botanica in Katy Leitch

Finnbair inspired Butterfly By Dee

Hi everyone Dee here with you today kicking of the New Year on the Artistic Stamper Team Blog!

I am a great fan of Finnabair's work and have always wanted to try a canvas

 inspired by her work.

The canvas was made by firstly putting embossing paste through The Artistic Stamper

Swirl mask, and allowing it to dry.

I used Neil Walkers butterfly stamp for the main focal piece this 

was made by triple embossing into gold embossing powder.

This was then coloured with alcohol inks once the stamp had

been triple embossed.

The centre piece had crystal gems stuck on to form the body of 

the butterfly. 

The main canvas once dry was painted with Gesso then fresco sage paint

& various colours were used to paint the background. Then

A mix of metallic paints and spray was used to paint 

over the background.

Well that's it from me for today folks please feel free to ask any 

questions if you have any. There is a product list below

Thanks for dropping by and wishing you all

A Happy New Year!

Dee X
