Supplies: Stamp Zia's large "Bamboo
Sphere"
small amount of bleach
1 sheet of black card stock
several cosmetic
applicators (Q-tips)
1 sheet of heavily textured black card
Radiant Pearls in Fandango Green, stock Tiger
Eye, Bitter Apple, Deep Lapis
1 large sheet of black foam core board
black embossing powder and ink
handmade paper with Chinese calligraphy
thin black mat board print
assorted beads and charms in black and gold
tassels in adhesive (heavy duty glue or double-tape)
optional: gold tissue paper
Instructions: Begin by stamping the Bamboo Sphere medallion on
black card stock and emboss with the black embossing powder.
Then using a Q-tip, sparingly apply bleach to the stamp
background. By varying the pressure and stokes you'll get the
variegated colors. Once the bleached area has completely dried
use Radiant Pearls to paint the bamboo area of the stamped medallion.
Use Fandango Green for the tall grass, Tiger Eye and Fandango
Green for the bamboo stalks and
Bitter Apple and Deep Lapis for the bamboo leaves.
"Harvest Moon"
Stamp Artist - Linda Lavasani Winning

Once the paint
has dried, cut out the medallion and then using the foam core
board, cut a circle slightly smaller that the medallion and glue
them together. (Note: you may want to use gold tissue paper to
cover the edge of the foam core before gluing the pieces together.
It is not necessary, but it is a nice finishing touch.) The next
step is to cut a square piece of foam core (approx 7 1/2"
x 71/2") and cover with the piece of heavily
textured black card stock. While the glue is drying on that piece,
cut another piece of foam core board to approx 8 1/2" x
13" and cover that with the handmade paper. To assemble
the project you'll take the square piece, set it at an angle
and adhere it to the rectangular piece. Then the medallion piece
is centered on the square and glued in placed. At this point
you will need to figure out the placement of the bead work -
just go with whatever pleases you. You can use straight pins
or jewelry wires to attach your chosen beads to the project.
Simply place a small amount of glue to the wire and press into
the edge of the square piece of foam core board. Next you'll
need to gently punch a hole near the bottom of the rectangular
piece in order to attach the Chinese charm and tassels. The final
step is to cut a piece of the thin mat board to size and glue
it to the back of your project.

"Patterned Pots"
Stamp Artist - Daylene Strickland
Materials:
Posh Impressions Patterned Pot 2 Stamp (550-F18)
Posh Impressions Wild Willows Stamp (550-G05)
Brilliance Graphite Black Inkpad
Laundry Bleach (Full Strength)
UTEE: Bronze, Gold, Clear
Chipboard Panel: 2¾" Square
Black Linen Cardstock Panels: 4" x 7" and 5" x
8"
Brown Cardstock Panel: 4¼" x 7¼" and
folded card size 5" x 8"
Southwest Corner Punch
VersaMark Inkpad
Decorative Bead
Decorative Fibers
Peel 'N Stick
Tweezers (helpful tool)
Instructions: Protect your work area and wear
old clothing for this technique. Also work in well ventilated
area and avoid inhaling fumes for long periods of time. Pour
a small amount of full strength bleach in a low top, wide area
container or bowl (large enough to accommodate stamping from
within it). Fold one or two paper towels into a rectangle or
square shape and lay them in the bottom of the container, until
the bleach is completely absorbed. Use this as a "stamp
pad."
On large black cardstock panel randomly
stamp willows. Test stamp image on scrap paper first for clarity.
If too much bleach is present, the lines will not be clearly
defined. To remedy this, add more paper towels. On smaller black
panel randomly stamp pots. Allow images to dry. Wash stamps with
mild soap and water immediately after using them.
Use Southwest punch for corners of brown
cardstock panel. Layer willow stamped piece on brown card, followed
by brown cardstock, then patterned pot stamped cardstock. Set
aside.
Use VersaMark inkpad to cover chipboard
square; dip in or sprinkle on bronze UTEE and melt. Repeat 2
times. While still hot sprinkle a few granules of gold UTEE (not
covering the entire square) and continue melting. (Tweezers are
helpful to hold the tile while melting the UTEE.) Prepare the
patterned pot stamp by inking with Brilliance black ink. If the
tile has cooled, ink it with VersaMark and cover with clear UTEE
(If the tile is hot, apply the UTEE directly to tile). Melt the
UTEE; firmly press stamp into the tile and lift remove it. Allow
tile to cool completely. Adhere to card using Peel 'N Stick.
Embellish with bead and fibers.
Note:
Not all black cardstock bleaches the same color; some turns brown,
orange, yellow, etc. It is a good idea to test a piece that you
plan to work with first.
I used a red card and cut a piece of gold vellum a fourth of
an inch smaller and glued that to the card. I then cut a piece
of red cardstock a fourth of an inch smaller than that and took
the edge of a scrap piece of paper and dipped it in the bleach
and wiggled it all across the paper and made the wiqqley line
that made the marbled look. Then I cut another piece of gold
vellum and glued it to the center of the card. Then I cut a smaller
piece of red paper and dipped the cupcake stamp in the bleach
and stamped it and gleued it to the center. I made a bow from
gold ribbon and glued it on. On the inside I stamped happy birthday
with the bleach.
