Hiya and welcome to my Tuesday
blogpost for Bee Crafty Stamps today I ams sharing with you 2 makes
using a stamping techniques I havent used in a while Bleaching &
Lemon Juice and the lovely BEAUtanicals Dandelion and Wordage Minis - With Love
For this first one I used watercolour card trimmed to fit a 6x6 cardblank, I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a blending tool to randomly colour the watercolour card. I then used the Da Vinci Script
stamp with some bleach to stamp over the background - this removes the
colour of the ink and gives a nice effect. I matted this background
panel uaing black mirror board and fixed to the card front. I stamped
the Dandelion stamp onto stamping cardstock using black inkpad and
randomly inked the edges using the distress inks again. I matted this
topper onto black mirror board and attached to the card front using foam
tape at a jaunty angle. The sentiment was stamped, inked and matted in
the same way and fixed to the cardfront with foam pads. I used an off
cut of black mirror for the strip down the side and 2 dazzle flat backs
to finish off the card.
For my second make I wanted to show a way of using the stamps to create a vintage effect.
I cut a nice sized bookmark from watercolour card. I tipped a few drops of lemon juice onto my non-stick craft mat and dipped a piece of cut & dry foam
into it and sponged onto the Dandelion stamp and pressed this onto the
watercolour card. I then did the same using the With Love sentiment and
stamped it underneath the dandelion. Using the damp cut&dry foam I
dragged it around the edge of the bookmark. I then heated the bookmark
using my heat tool to heat the lemon juice as it burns it turns brown. I
love this effect. I then matted the bookmark onto gold mirror board.
made a hole using a hole punch, added an eyelet and threaded some ribbon
through.
Thank you so much for visiting my post today and I do hope you will visit again soon
