"Ms. Diva"
Stamp Artist Debra Griffith |
The image is from StampDiva
Couples UM sheet.
Stamped on glossy cardstock with Brilliance Coffee Bean.
I added specks of gold to her sweater with a metallic pen.
I cut the image out and pasted onto a white doily and then pasted
that onto a piece of border wallpaper.
I used a corner mountie punch for the layered cardstock in the
background.
I added a string of gold beads and a white bow w/gold bead to
the image to dress her up. |
|
I used posh inks
and streaked them across glossy cardstock with a make up sponge.
I stamped the Acey Deucy image "Masquerade", available
from StampDiva,
on that and embossed with Disco Black embossing powder.
I cut her out and layered her on Ruby Stardream Paper ( which
is actually not paper but, is thick like cardstock). I cut out
a Artchix postal and layered that on Ruby Stardream Paper also.
I used Gold Stardream Paper and cut out a rectangle. I stamped
the Diffusion word stamp on it and black embossed it. |
Opposites - Women Of The Ages
Stamp Artist Laura McKeag |
| I layered the gold rectangle
over Ruby Stardream Paper and placed the other 2 pieces over
that. I glued a small rose-bow on it and added fibers to match.. |

Stamp Phrases with permanent ink onto a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheet of

and Iridescent
Calligraphy Colors onto PPA and blend
slightly . Crumple tissue paper and lay over the acetate, smoothing
down with more PPA. Immediately layer to thin, blue glossy paper
and set aside to dry.
When dry, cut phrases out and edge with a gold Krylon pen. Layer
again to thin blue glossy paper and deckle the edges. Layer to
gold paper and deckle the edges. Set aside.
Cut remaining prepared acetate into an app. 3 1/2 x 7 1/2 panel.
Layer to a slightly larger black glossy panel which has
