This month Gingersnap Creations is saluting Machines and as part of that their Spicy Supply Challenge asks us to use Gears, cogs and watch bits. I have used Hampton Art stamps on glassine paper(Tim Holtz). The frame is Graphic 45 core'dinations. The watch pieces and cogs and gears are also Tim Holtz.I have also used a Cuttlebug Gears embossing folder for the background.
We had a power blurp this morning which seems to have killed our stove. So now I get to go stove shopping instead of crafting today. Yuk. Thanks for looking!
This is my entry for Gingersnap Creations challenge to use packaging materials. I started with a piece of Prima packaging and added black corrugated cardboard on top. The main piece is brown cardboard inked with Colorbox chalk- lime pastel. The lace (Art Impressions) and dress form (Tim Holtz) were embossed with clear ep and swirls (Stampin Up) stamped over with black archival ink. I then ironed off the ep and stamped the dress form slightly off the original. I stamped a TH swirl stamp on the bodice. I cut the buttons from a velvet box liner using a Sizzix die. The bella label came off a package. The flower petals were cut with Sizzix Die-Daisy's #2 from painted deli paper and corrugated cardboard. The centre button was inked with versamark and then partially inked with archival black. I really like how this turned out. I am also going to join in on the Just for Fun Challenge- Anything Goes.
Thank you for looking. For those of you following the hummingbird tale I posted another baby picture. It is two posts down. They are growing fast.
Our Spicy Supply Challenge this time was "Mists". I have continued the Asian theme using a stamp set by Stampin Up. I used a Cuttlebug bamboo embossing folder and a TH Alterations rosette die. I have made my mists using perfect pearls and distress inks -old paper with heirloom gold -background, old paper with green patina foreground pieces-bird is painted with turquoise Perfect Pearls mixed with Perfect Ink Refresher. It looks so much better for real when you can see the gold and green glimmer.
Thank you for looking!
Here is my entry for The Spicy Supply Challenge at Gingersnap Creations. I think you will be seeing me use my Artful Dwellings Die quite often for the next while. I have used TH crowded attic paper, tissue tape and distress inks to create my home office. The photo color is showing much lighter than the actual piece.
Thank you for looking!
