Time for another BIA page

Using techniques again from the The Stamp Man DVD.

I spritzed the page with Moon Glow medieval gold Glitz Spritz & put to one side to dry, then taking a piece of white paper spritzed with polished copper & crunch up into ball, straight away uncrunch & allowed to dry, once dried I ink up the watch stamp with the ladies face with a black ink pad, (stamps used came from Cherrypiestamps.com) randomly stamping images of this stamp over the paper, taking a Versamark pad wiped it all over the paper follow with black embossing powder & heated. Taking a piece of brown coloured thin card I spritz this with the polished copper & allow to dry, then I inked up the watch stamp with a black ink pad & stamp over the polished copper, tearing the top & bottom I took a copper metallic pen & wipe across the torn parts. (the embellishments used are cork alphabets from The Fruit Pixie & the clock face is unknown)

Textured BIA page


This page was made a week or so ago after buying The Stamp Man's DVD on Moonglow. I've been asked why it's not up on my blog... It's because I can be so dame slow at times, lol... So here it is alone with a brief description of what I used & how I made it.


I started by colouring the page with peeled paint ink using a foam applicator, then taking a black ink pad I stamped the 2 images along with the word architecture, I then placed a piece of fusible webbing cut to the size of the page & heated it (if you want to have a go make sure you place something at the edges as it will shrink in to a sticky ball) while it's still hot I added copper embossing powder & heated it again. then when cooled I stamped all the other words using again a black ink pad. I finished off buy stamping the image of the window on to a piece of green card edged it using a clear ink pad an added gold embossing powder.

All stamps used came from The Artistic Stamper

bubbly bubbles

Haven't done any paper crafting since my last post, just don't where the time has gone... well I do , on the garden, with summer on it's way I'm out doing the garden most days which leaves little time for crafting...:o( But happily I got to make some soap which is another craft passion I have. I made a lovely rose & baby power (that's the purply one) the other is sandalwood & amber musk which I added a slice of dried orange to before pouring on the soap & this one I think smells devine & is my favourite out of the 2
