Hello Friends
Well, another week has passed us by. Those of us who are being 'shielded' have been told we can now go out after 12 weeks in lock down, but I have to be honest, I don't feel quite ready yet so am giving it another couple of weeks to be sure... keeping myself busy with lots of crafting! I hope you are keeping safe and well.
My Guest designer project this week, for AALL & Create, is a mixed media board, using two newly released stamps by Bipasha BK and a stamp set by Autour de Mwa.
I started with an 8 inch circle of mixed media paper and created my background with lots of Distress Spray Stains (Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw and a little Picked Raspberry).
I stamped Bipasha's Magnify It (#319) stamp set onto the circle in black Archival ink.
Next, I cut a circle from the background, using a Sizzix dome as my guide for size. I attached the circle onto a canvas board, added flowers from Bipasha's Blooming Beauty (#324) stamp set which I had already stamped and fussy cut.
I placed the dome on top of the circle/flowers and glued them all into place. I stamped and fussy cut all of the flowers again from the Magnify It set. I also stamped the magnifying glass from the same stamp set, fussy cut it, embossed it with clear embossing powder and placed it to one side.
To finish off the base I stamped Autour de Mwa's Intersecting Circles (#364) to the bottom of the circle using Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.
I added the base over the dome, onto the canvas board and then added the fussy cut flowers from Bipasha's Magnify It stamp set along with the embossed magnifying glass. The dome doesn't actually magnify the flowers underneath but I like the illusion it creates.
To finish off I stamped the sentiment again (from Magnify It) and raised it up so that I could attach a mini magnifying glass charm.
These are the stamp sets I used and you can find worldwide stockists for the stamps
Finally, here is another quick look at the completed piece.
Thanks so much for your visit, I really appreciate it.
Stay safe and keep well.
Hugs, Anne xxx
