I hope you are all in fine fettle. Today's offering for you today is once again in miniature form - yes I'm addicted teeny tiny pixie projects!
These are a set of mini canvases which I've had in my stash for a good long while which I decided to use as card toppers. In keeping with this month's WOW! blog DT feature which asks us to use one stamp three ways, I've created these projects with my chosen stamp coming from the Pick 'n Mix set.
Do you recognise which one it is?
For
the first topper I prepared the background with gesso and paint, then
stamped the circular stamped randomly with black ink. I added die cut
chipboard on top to create depth and filled the recesses in with
embossing powder (Mandarin, Black Ebony and Clear Gloss), using glass
beads for texture. I have a bit of a thing for skulls and adore this
wooden cut from Alter This which I pimped up with gesso, fine liner pens
and more micro beads.
The
last canvas topper is a mixture of many different bits and pieces I had
laying around. I do love to use these up on cards, great way to waste
nothing! The background for this one started with a layer of gesso and
net material which I pressed in whilst still wet then covered with
Midnight Dream, Silver Stratosphere and
British Summer embossing powders and melted. The circle has been stamped
onto thin metal with a clear
ink and Black Ebony powder to create this industrial looking little
embellishment. For the other details I've used torn paper, washi tape,
cotton, mis-matched gems and small pieces of WOW Melt It! foil tray.
I finished off with a phrase we should all heed: remember to play....
I hope you've found some inspiration to use with your stamps, have fun and be creatively free!
Hugs until next time
