Claudine's Project

Still taking in all the wonderful stuff we did at Ranger U, one of the things we made with Claudine Hellmuth at Ranger U was a lovely box to hold our tags made with her. We could use any technique we had learnt from her , and I chose to use the technique which involves spreading an good amount of Multi-medium resist on a craft sheet, and inking your stamp with it. I then stamped onto the box. You need to make sure your stamp is thoroughly cleaned after use as it will ruin your stamp if not. You can then allow this to air dry or heat with a heat tool. Taking a dab of Claudine's paints, spray once or twice with water from the mini misters , and using a paintbrush brush over the stamped area. Dab with a cloth or paper towel while still wet to create depth to the colour. This technique is better on non sealed or porous surfaces.


All of Claudine's paints will be on the website very very soon! Don't forget the chance to win one of her paints in the Easter blog Candy!

Wing Art

Finally I have managed to scan in the artwork I have done for workshops held at Birmingham " Stitches" trade show. They were a lot of fun , and if you want a quick and easy idea that doesn't take long , these are for you.

I used the new chipboard tags and wings from The Artistic Stamper, and new paints available from end of March plus watch pieces and the watch and keys

A5 plate from The Artistic Stamper too!

The tag was painted with our new pearl powder paints and then stamped with the watch faces using black Adirondack ink. I then painted the wings with a contrasting colour nd stamped them too. I used little glue squares to attached wings and watch face( also painted and stamped to the tag, attaching a printed twill to to hang it.
