Stamp Artist - Susie Cull


"Wine Lovers Mobile"   Top View
Stamp Artist - Susie Cull
  • Using direct to paper method ink both sides of the stiff stuff spiral with the plum wine, deep harbor, gold and pearlescent purple in a random marble-ish pattern. Set aside.
  • Stamp one glass per domino from the Wine glasses stamp.  Color one in purple, one in bright pink, one in yellow and one in brown.
  • On another domino stamp the cluster of grapes. On the unstamped side, color in the grapes with purple sharpie and the leaves with green sharpie. I then outlined the stamped image with diamond glaze and embellished with purple micro beads.

  • I stamped the champagne bottle twice on acetate and cut the images out. On the back of one of the images I applied pink glitter for the foil and green glitter for the bottle. After dry, I glued the other bottle image to the glittered side with diamond glaze. After that dried, I punched a hole in the "cork" on the bottle.
  • Using tiny dot letters and black staz on ink spell zin on one domino, wine on one, and bubbly on one. On the zin domino I colored around the letters on the unstamped side of the domino. On the bubbly one I used the yellow staz on, and on the wine domino I used purple staz on. I had to dab off some of the purple so you could read the word.
  • I punched 9 holes in the spiral, one for each piece of the mobile. I tied the gold string through the hole on each of the pieces and topped with a black bead (except the champagne bottle.). I then pulled them through the holes on the spiral and attached another bead before tying the string off.
  • For the hangar I strung several black beads on the black craft wire at the end made a "hole" to hang the mobile easily on a nail or plant hook. Voila! The "Wine Lover's Mobile"!
