A Present For A Friend

Hi everyone! thank you for popping by today and I hope you are all well!
I am recovering from a recent op so am laid up at home.


So need to take my mind of the pain what is better than 
catching up on some crafting.


I made a similar plaque for the Artistic Stamper creative team
back in January and my son's girlfriend fell n love 
with it.


Her favourite colour is green so I decided to make one for her
so here it is in lettuce green.


Same technique as before just different colour wash as in previous post.


Lots of treasure gold and triple embossing.


&
Sequins galore!!!


I hope she likes it let me know what you think?

A Beer Matt Called Compass

Hi everyone I have for you today a beer mat from my local 
micro pub which is called the compass and as I 
LOVE compasses and clocks
I offered to alter their 
beer mat.


OK for this I used Stone Fresco Finish paint mixed with white acrylic.


Next I sprayed it with Distress Stains spray in Iced Spruce, Faded Jeans
 & Gathered Twigs.


Next I brushed on matt multi medium and dried 
with my heat gun.


I had some scrap triple embossed card so I used the New flourish stamp from
The Artistic Stamper and pressed it into the hot embossing powder.


Next I  coloured the embossed card and the die cut cogs with 
Deco Art antiquing cream.


The compass stamp is from Indigo Blue I think the other 
one is a small Tim Holtz clock stamp.


Stencils and lots of Ferro graphite was used. Tommorow
I will be returning their beer mat to them I
hope they like it! let me know 
what you think?
Cheers Dee

Love


The Artistic Stamper Challenge for this month is LOVE
and as its Valentines I have done a heart using 
Deco art media range and the fabulous 
Artistic Stamper Swirls stamp.


1. Papier-Mache heart
2. Deco Art Media line Gesso & Crackle paste.
3 Deco art Americano Jack O Lantern Orange, Burnt Orange & Deep Burgandy
4. Media fluid acrylics Quinacridone Gold, Carbon Black Antquing cream.
5. Treasure Gold Spanish Topaz and White Fire.
6. Fimo black clay.
7. Glass Micro beads. 


First I covered the heart with Gesso and put on the crackle paste
 with a pallet knife.


I pushed the micro beads into the wet crackle paste, I allowed it to dry 
naturally.


I painted the heart with Jack O lantern Orange, then Burnt Orange, next 
I painted the entire heart with Deep Burgandy.


Once the paint had dried I then used the Quinacridone Gold.


I rolled out the Black Fimo clay and wet the swirl stamp and stamped 
it into the clay three times and cut out. I baked
 it in the oven once I took it out I bent it 
round the heart.


Once cooled I attached it with a hot glue gun and gilded
 it with treasure gold. 


When I had completed the heart it reminded me of the apple in
 Snow White as it has a beautiful sheen to it.
What do you think?
