Hello Friends
I have been extremely lucky to have received some new stamps from Wendy Vecchi (and Stampers Anonymous) along with her co-ordinating Mat Minis, one for each set of stamps. I created a chunky 'wall' measuring 9" x 4.1/2".
These are the stamps and Mat Minis I received from Wendy - thanks so much Wendy, the quality of the Stampers Anonymous stamps is excellent, as always, I don't think you can beat red rubber for ease and quality of stamping. The Mat Minis are new to me, I found them to be very substantial, easy to use and they took inks beautifully. The Mat Minis are set WVMM32 and WVMM31.
I began by building the 'wall' using one of That's Crafty's MDF Chunkies.
Once built I gave the block a good coat of Gesso. I then mixed some Ranger Texture Paste with some Distress Oxide Re-inker in Fired Brick and applied this to the front and all sides of the block, through one of Wendy's older stencils - Basically Bricks.
When the paste was dry I covered the whole piece with a spray of Fired Brick Distress Spray and gave a few of the bricks a touch of Gathered Twigs Distress Spray to give a more natural look.
I used each of the stamp sets: Art in a Pot SCS 168 and Window Art SCS 169 and stamped onto the Mat Minis, coloured all of the elements with Distress inks and assembled the pieces.
Here is a view of the finished plant pot together with a sentiment from the Art in a Pot stamp set.
To finish off the window I added some 'wallpaper', faux curtains and added some shrink plastic flowers to the window box.
Here is a final view of the 'wall', it comes with a hanger on the back so that it can be hung up or placed on a shelf.
Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Anne xx
