Challenge Blog Inspiration Post!  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Hi Peeps

Kath here

Each DTM is taking turns to share a demo/ tutorial

so this month your stuck with me ha ha

I decided to do a quick tut on maybe using your stamps differently.

We all get stuck in a rut with our products

but if you can use elements of your stamps it gives them a new lease of life ....

I even cut mine up !!!!

The acrylic ones fit perfectly back together for using whole again ..

or just ink up the portions you want to use ...

Any how here goes

Stuff I've used

IC bird of paradise stamp set

IC hearts and swirls stencil

IC Sparkle medium -bright red/chartreuse

Two 6x6 pieces of white card and a piece of acetate

Versamark - My Grubby one hee hee

Gold EP

Walnut Stain DI

Black Stazon

Coffee/Tea/Hobnobs optional hee hee

First I prepped my bits

I used the Bright Red SM through the stencil

And covered the heart with the same

Then stamped just the tail part of the bird onto acetate and cut them out,

I've used acetate then I can flip the flourish for matching wings

I cut the other 6x6 card into a frame shape

I then used just the net part of the stamp with Versamark (I cut it in half)

then embossed with the gold EP

I didn't match it up too well just to add to the grungyness

Then I added the mini flourish to the corners

I went round the edges with the DI

and added a bit of SM to the edges.

I drew around the heart shape and cut it out of acetate

which I then stamped with a sentiment

and covered the back with the SM

Once dry I mounted it and the 'wings' to the heart shape

Finally I layered it up using a bit of Pinflare...Ta Dah

I hope you enjoyed this quick tut

Thanks for looking
