the stamps are a mix of SMEARED INK and DE-STEMPELWINKEL,
coloured with pencils.
ALSO today I have a small altered box...
I used embossed card to cover the outside, with metallic wax to highlight the embossing.
Inside the lid I added a decoupaged heart... I used a SMEARED INK digi image for this,
printed out 8 times, coloured with alcohol inks, silicone to layer it up, i made a lining for the lid and used plastic mesh( the stuff you cover your guttering with) to keep the heart safe.
I'm sooo jealous of the way you mask! Gorgeous ATC. The composition and combination of stamps just ROCKS! Love your gorgeous box, too That heart is amazing! xxD
ReplyDeleteBD, both projects are absolutely amazing works! You have a knack for combining stamps that work perfectly together. Love your ATC! The altered box is creepy, but in a good and artistic way! Love the embossing and the mesh you used. Your creativity blows my mind!
