Hello! If you have not been to my blog before - then Welcome!
I am so thrilled to be part of a wonderful Blog Hop between the talented Designer, Eileen Hull and the wonderful Stampendous and their respective Inspiration and Design Teams! All week long the teams have been using Eileen's Artist Trading Blocks to make some fabulous creations!
I am so thrilled to be part of a wonderful Blog Hop between the talented Designer, Eileen Hull and the wonderful Stampendous and their respective Inspiration and Design Teams! All week long the teams have been using Eileen's Artist Trading Blocks to make some fabulous creations!
I was given three wonderful sets of stamps to use as you will see below, although in the end I did not use them all - well not yet anyway!
The stamps from left to right are:
Stampendous - Cling Wild Roses - CRR191
Stampendous - Say It Today - SSC1190 (not used in my project)
Stampendous - Butterflies - SSC028
I used the flower stamp to create a background for the larger block and I cut and watercoloured an extra layer of flowers, to give the flowers some dimension.
Part of the larger flower stamp was used to create a background for the smaller block. I also used Stampendous Cling Butterfly Post (CRP147) on the larger block. The butterfly matched one of the butterflies from the clear Butterflies cling set SSC028. I stamped this, coloured it and layered it up on the other two sides of the larger block.
In the view above, you can see more of the flower stamp and also the tiny butterflies from the butterfly stamp set. To finish the top I attached a beautiful little rose shaped knob, from my stash.
I painted and crackled the spool feet using DecoArt products. The base card, flowers and butterflies have been coloured using watercolour pencils and paints. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out loads of butterflies, which I did not use in the end, I think I will just have to make another project now!

The comment deadline for the hop is extended to Sunday March 8th 2015 to give you plenty of time to see and comment on the participating blogs.

Stunning!!! These are very beautiful indeed Anne. The stamped backgrounds are totally gorgeous and your fussy cut butterflies sublime. Love the little knob too - how sweet! Your weathered spools make brilliant feet - the height of these and the knob works wonderfully. Stunning work as always Anne. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Nicola x

I love your floral and Butterflies Atc Boxes! The colors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the flowers and feet!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the various styles of ATBs you create making each so unique.
ReplyDeleteThis is exquisite from the beautiful stamping which you have coloured to perfection to the use of the wooden spools (I wonder if we have been shopping on the same site as very recently, I bought some that look exactly like those!), fabulous crackling on them. The rose is a special finishing touch.
This is sheer class!
