"Cecily's Flowers"
Stamp Artist - Shirley J. Otis |
Supplies & Rubber Stamps:
- Rubber Stamps|
"vase" by Memory Box
flower (unknown)
"Cecily" by Impression Obsession (B4561)
- Paper: white textured (Paper Cut)
green stripe (HOTP)
one sheet 8 1/2" X 11" acetate
- Stamp pad: Stazon by Tsukineko - Jet Black
- Inks: Adirondack Inks by Ranger Industries,
stonewash and pesto
- Adirondack Blending Solution
- Adirondack Alcohol Ink Pads
- Adhesives: vellum tape
double sided tape
3 D Dots
|
|
Directions:
Cut and fold 5 X 10" white textured paper for card. Cut
one 4 1/2 X 4 1/2" green striped paper. Cut one 3 3/4 X
3 3/4" white textured paper and round these corners. Set
aside. On half of the acetate sheet put several drops of stonewashed
and pesto inks, allowing them to mix and flow at random. This
area must be large enough to accommodate the face stamp. When
thoroughly dry, spritz with the blending solution. When that
is dry, turn over and stamp "Cecily". Set aside. On
the other half of the acetate sheet put several drops of each
ink color. While still wet, pounce the surface with an alcohol
ink pad to create the pattern you want. You may have to add ink
as the pad soaks it up. When dry, turn over and stamp 5 flowers.
When dry, turn over, and with a Qtip dipped in the blending solution,
take out the color in the middle of each flower. Let dry, then
cut out the flowers. On the acetate left, again put stonewashed
and pesto drops to blend with a little more stonewashed than
pesto, as this will be the "water" in the vase. Pounce
until you have the pattern you want and an area big enough for
the vase; let dry. Turn over and stamp the vase. Let dry. Turn
over and with blending solution on a Qtip take out some of the
"water". Cut out vase. Attach the green paper to the
white card with double sided tape; attach the green face to the
white rounded corner paper with vellum tape, then attach to the
green paper with 3 D Dots. Attach flowers also with tiny 3 D
Dots in the center and attach the vase with vellum tape. Draw
in stems.
