Sunday Stamper - France/Paris






Two weeks ago the theme for Sunday stamper was France/Paris. I have made another small canvas for this challenge. I have used paints on the canvas and for the backgrounds on the stampboard. I have then used stazon for the images. The corner image was stamped on the canvas and I then stamped the ladies faces on to tiny domino and placed them over the top. I have triple embossed the main image and used diamond glaze on the domino.

Sunday Stamper - Black and White



This weeks Sunday stamper was black and white. I came across some mini canvas easels on my travels and thought I'd use one for this weeks challenge. I am altering a book at the moment and I had some parts of some pages left over so I have used them to cover the canvas. I then blacked the edges using Stazon Ink Pad. I painted the easel in black paint.


I used a piece of ATC size stampboard and made a very light background using silver ink. I then over stamped using black Stazon and a beautiful Paris stamp (hey this could double up as the Sunday stamper France/Paris challenge I haven't completed yet! :-) ) I then triple embossed the image and attached it to the canvas.


I added some black felted ribbon down the side of the canvas next to the image and added one of my favourite embellishments. I then finished off with some gems.


I am very please with the result, hope you like it too. Tina xx

Birthday Card for Hels


Here is the birthday card I made for Hels. Again using my stampscapes stamps! They work beautifully on gloss card. I mounted the picture on to some paper and then on to the card. I stamped a corner stamp in versamark ink and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then stamped a "Friends" quote using the same inks as the main image and mounted this to the card.



Canvas Crazy - Another Stampscape!



I am still going strong with my stampscapes stamps! I just love using them. I have made a canvas for a friends birthday, I covered the canvas with Gesso first to give it a good base and left to dry. I then use an ink pad with 5 inks in it to give the tones. I then finished by stamping some words around the edge of the canvas.

Ladies tea set









Well I thought I would try something different (I get bored doing the same things lol!) I brought this box at Alley Palley and don't ask me why, I picked it up the other day and thought, "I know I will alter a tea set to go inside along with a little cute book"! Where do I get these ideas?? Anyway, I used paints to alter the set, and added some embellishments. For the box I colour washed it and added a paper top from DCWV, I then stamped the bottom edge of the box and added some embellishments to it. I used very thick chipboard for the book, some crafty individuals papers and ribbon. I must stay I am very happy with the result. xx

Sunday Stamper - Sisters




Sisters is the theme this week for the Sunday Stampers. I love using canvas so I decided to go with that this week. I prepared the canvas with Gesso and then coloured the background with light green ink. I stamped over the canvas with Olive Green stazon ink. I have used stampboard for the image, I love this stamp!!!, I coloured the stampboard in light green and stamped the image with Versamark ink. I scratched out some parts of the image. I then mounted the image on to the canvas and used some chipboard letters along the side. I finished with some crackle paint on the corners.

Canvas stamped painting





Well I have had a set of stamps since Alley Palley and I have been waiting to create something with them. First of all I covered a canvas using gesso and I then started to stamp, building up the picture I wanted. I blended in the inks to make the overall picture look hazy. I have to say I love the result!! I just hope you can see well enough in the pictures.

Sunday Stamper - Cats


Its a cats theme for Hels Angels Sunday Stamper this week. I have made a card. The stamped image is one of my favourites, I have used Adirondack ink pads (the ones with 4 colours in it). I then used chalks to blend the background. I then finished off with some grungeboard wings and a heart. The card stock it from crafty individuals.
