The Stamp Moves

I participated in a swap where each person in the group sends round a stamp for each person to use. Here are my finished ATCs.


Rosie's stamp. Stamped onto glossy card and then distress inks sponged on top. Used some black german scrap to finish off.

Adrienne's stamp. I sprayed some card with red glimmer mist. I then sprinkled over some UTEE and heated until molten then stamped using some black ink. I then used the stamp on a fragment of polymer clay.

I use a background sprayed with ink sprays and stamped the picture and text. I used a black marker to add the borders and a silver pen to pick out the text.

I used a dictionary page painted with watered down gesso and then coloured using watercolour crayons and water. The image was stamped on a piece of background made using acrylic paint and an old credit card. I then used a sponge to darken the edges of the main image and tint the edges.

Making books

I have been busy making some books after some instruction by Julie Prichard in her Super Nova class.

Jigsaw Canvas



This is for a swap. It specified the size of the canvas and the jigsaw pieces and was to contain three pieces. The theme and colours were left open.
