Their Story by Lynne Moncrieff

Everything Art EEA06, immediately caught my eye, especially the face
stamp. Somehow, you cannot help but
connect with those faces, as though they are urging you to share their story.
In many
ways, this is a work in progress although I didn’t set out with that intention.
I only realised, on completion that I wanted to explore this project
further. I started this when the EEA06
stamps were released and has since been laid aside until I see what direction
it urges me in, it could be a work in progress for the foreseeable! I plan on re-connecting with Willa Cather’s
work to help me unfold the next chapter of those women’s lives.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Art Shrine, House ATC size (frame only)
PaperArtsy Stamp Sets - EEA04 and EEA06
Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic: Buff, Chalk,
Chocolate Pudding
Gel Medium (or That’s Crafty! Multi Purpose Adhesive)
Shallow
Bezel Frame*
Extras: Natural Tissue Paper, Teabag
Paper, Book Pages, Vintage Doily, Vintage Buttons, Black Cotton Sewing Thread,
Scraps of Vintage Fabrics/Ribbons, ICED
Enamels Ivory and Iced Enamels Medium (Many of the Extras on my projects are found
papers/items from around the home or leftover from other projects. The bezel* was unwanted from a separate
project, where I had been playing with ICED Enamels Ivory. If you want to prepare such a bezel, apply
ICED Medium to bezel before covering with ICED Enamels and melting with heat
tool).
Instructions
Apply
Grunge Paste to house frame before applying Frescos. Just before this dries, stamp directly into
the nearly dry paints, randomly stamping the numbers from EEA06 and text stamp
from EEA04.
To rear
of frame, adhere vintage doily. Onto
natural tissue paper/teabag paper, stamp Affirmations, adhering to the
doily. Also stamp numbers and text,
adhering torn pieces, here and there. Embellish the frame with vintage buttons, threading with black cotton
sewing thread, layering the buttons onto a torn piece of vintage crochet lace.
Onto
plain margin of vintage book page, stamp faces. Ideally, bundle a few book pages together, tearing into a long strip
with stamped faces as top layer. Attach
at top of bundle with Tiny Attacher before adhering to right side of frame
along with scraps of vintage fabrics/ribbon, etc. Stamp circle from EEA06,
adhering to centre of bezel, adhering to top of frame.
Prop
house frame upright, allowing light to shine through the vintage doily.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne
