Flowert Power

I got my lovely melt pot out this week to make a brooch.
To start, I stamped both sides of a piece of card using the floral background stamp I added more colour with distress inks and then cut out three spiral blossom flowers. I wound them, glued them and then dipped them into clear utee. For the leaves, I simple dipped metal leaves in the utee and then coloured them with alcohol ink. Finally I assembled the brooch with hot glue.

In the Frame

This week I've been playing with one of the Creative Expressions MDF blanks.
Here's what I did

First I used the Newsprint background stamp in my hand to randomly stamp all over the frame.

Next I used clear embossing paste through the That Special Touch Swoosh mask

After allowing the paste to dry, I went over the frame with Distress Paints.

Finally, I added Gilding Wax to highlight the raised texture

Texture

This month the Creative Expressions DT are going off the page, so today I have a canvas to show. Although it's only small, I've used lots of different products and techniques - embossing folders, masks and texture paste to add interest to the bare canvas, distress paints and gilding waxes for colour, and finally UTEE, metal embellishments and beeswax for embellishing.

Leafy

It's time to share another Creative Expressions project - I had great fun with this one, playing with my inks and masks.

The stamps used are Fern Background , Fancy Foliage and Texture. The mask (one of my absolute favorites) is Leafy.

Thanks for looking
