Hello Everyone
This is my final Guest Post for That's Crafty! and I would like to say a huge thank you
to Laura for having me here for the last three months, it has been a pleasure using
That's Crafty! products.
For my project today I have used the brand new That's Crafty! Flowers Collection Stamp
Set - 3 by the hugely talented Melina Dahl.
I used one of That's Crafty! Surfaces for my base. These lovely MDF Chunkies are a nice large surface to work on and are so easy to construct.
Here is how I created my project:
1) I constructed the Chunkie and gave it a coat of black paint, concentrating on the edges.
2) Taking a piece of white cardstock I applied two colours of Distress Oxide, applying it quite randomly. I used Scattered Straw and Twisted Citron.
3) I took one of the new release stencils and applied the same colours of Distress Oxide, again applying this randomly.
4) I stamped the beautiful Melina Dahl flower stamp in Black Archival Ink, stamping it three times to create the front of the project.
5) I stamped the flower head again three times onto scrap card, painted each flower head with watercolour paint and fussy cut the separate flowers and set them aside.
6) I used a second stencil to apply some Texture Paste around the stamped images. Having used Oxides for the base, the Texture Paste picked up some of the colour which I love!
7) I cut to size the cardstock and applied this to the front, top and sides of the Chunky. I left the back of the Chunky bare black as there is a handy hanger hole built in, just in case I want to hang it up.
8) I randomly stamped parts of the flower image on the top and sides to tie the piece together.
9) I stamped the sentiment from my lovely and talented friend Alison Bomber's very first stamp set, using one of my all time favourite quotes.
10) I decided, in the end to add some little metal feet from my stash.
Products Used:
White Cardstock
Metal Feet
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for this and previous visits and for all your lovely comments, they are much appreciated.
Happy Crafting! Anne xx
