"Genesis"
Stamp Artist Kathryn Hughett |
I started with an AOL CD and tin. I
Torched it and used a steel brush to remove the paint and distress
it somewhat.
I then painted the entire tin and the shiny side of the CD with
Pebeo Porcelain paint in a purple color. I then Stamped
the image of God, (Genesis - available from Stamp Camp), into gold Premo clay with ink
made for fabric stamping so that it would be set with the heat
while the clay and the painted tin baked. I didn't bake
the paint on the CD for obvious reasons, but it is still water
resistant though not water proof. I put gold acrylic wall
glazing paint on the CD and cover of the tin and spun the paint
out on a Swirl-Art machine sold in toy stores. On the inside
of the lid I realized that the metal was not shiny enough so
I glued down a piece of foil paper and painted it with the Porcelain
paint. I copied and enlarged the first page of Genesis
from the Bible and cut out the passages telling of the creation
of the sun, moon and stars as well as the GENESIS title. I
colored the paper with a thinned down wash of Caramel l ink from
Adirondack to give the color of ancient paper. I then glued
the paper inside of the lid over the painted foil paper. I
glued the CD into the bottom part of the tin using 527BOND glue.
I glued the stamped clay image on top of the CD using the same
kind of glue. I then glued the sequin moon and stars in
the appropriate places. I painted my signature on the outside
back with the same gold glazing paint. |

Punch out several snowmen, trees, and ornaments. Select background
stamps, ink with your choice of Brilliance inks (I'm partial
to pearlescents), and stamp the punch outs. On the ornaments,
I stamped more than one image (I used the snowflakes from "Santa
Says"). Allow to dry, and if desired, stamp the reverse
side. Punch any holes that are needed (I used an eyelet punch
tool because I find it easier to punch small holes in shrink
plastic with it).
Stamp several flowers in red and loosely cut out. Stamp the dove.
Allow to dry. Since the dove is symmetrical, stamp the other
side as well. Punch a hole.
Shrink all pieces.
Prepare the wreath by wrapping various ribbons and securing.
Create a tassel. Attach jingle bells. Decorate as shown. Either
tie on the shrink decorations or glue them in. Add artificial
berries and ornaments as fillers. Add gold glitter to flower
centers, use white glitter as "snow" or accents. |
