Stamp Artist - Lori Woodbridge
|
|
I took a matchbox and sprayed with gold
paint. With a round sponge, I dabbed purple metallic paint all
over
box and covered with handmade lavender paper on sides and bottom.
I adhered handmade purple paper with gold leaves on it to the
front. I stamped Ophelia image from The
Stampsmith on a paint chip in brilliance
black and heat set. I used Marvy Markers for embossing on rose,
leaves and hair band, then embossed with clear powder. Dabbed
glue on the hair and put crystal glitter on it. I also glued
beads to the neckline adding tiny holeless beads also.
I covered a mini domino with pearl brilliance, heat set and stamped
"Imagine" on domino. Heat set. I glued domino, heart
and filigree (with fibers) to box top. Also adding beads to domino,
and beads to fibers.
The drawer was painted with acrylic
rose metallic paint. Stamped words on paper and decoupaged with
antique to inside of box. Also adding blue/violet glitter to
drawer. The drawer pull is made of a painted wooden bead held
on with wire and decorated with fibers. Small wooden "feet"
were attached to
bottom.

"Days Gone By"
Stamp Artist - Pam Fraser |
Steps:
1) Stamp the doily stamp on vellum in Blanco ink and emboss with
clear embossing powder. Cut out the doily image.
2) Round the right corners of the pale pink card with a corner
punch.
3) Wet and tear one edge of the decorative pink paper. Once dry,
mount with double stick tape to the card front. Don't go all
the way to the right edge; leave some of the pink cardstock showing.
Hint: Along the left side, I leave a small edge which
I wrap around to the back of the card. I think this helps the
decorative paper to lie better on the front of the card and to
have a smoother look where attached.
4) With glue and/or double stick tape, mount the white, gauzy
decorative paper along the left side of the card. Be sure to
wrap some to the back of the card just as did with the pink decorative
paper.
5) With double stick tape, mount the decorative white trim to
the left side of the card.
6) With glue and double stick tape, mount the vellum doily to
the card front.
7) Use the Lyra pencils to color the vase on the vellum doily.
Soften and blend colors by rubbing.
8) Glue onto the card front the buttons, bow, and embroidered
flowers.
9) In black pigment ink, stamp Memories stamp on a scrap of vellum
and emboss with gold embossing powder. Cut closely around the
word image and glue to front of card.
NOTE: I find that if I use the Blanco ink on vellum and
emboss with clear embossing powder, my stamped image doesn't
stay white, but rather becomes a soft, translucent image or pattern
on the vellum. So this is one way to custom make your own patterned
vellum. |

I traced the 6 fan pattern
images onto Pretty in Pink Cardstock and cut them out with scissors.
I stamped the rose bouquet image onto each of the fan pieces
with a VersaMark stamp pad and applied some detail black embossing
powder, which was then heat set with a heatgun. I colored in
the image with watercolor markers. Using a sponge dipped in the
magenta inkpad, I applied some color around the rose bouquet.
Then I took each fan shape and put the edge of the paper onto
the inkpad to apply a little more color to the edges. I punched
a hole in each of the fan shapes and inserted and tied a ribbon.
