Sacred Moth


Hello, I am sharing some more of my samples made for the August show on The Craft Store.

These are using the beautiful new stamps from Fiona Randall called Sacred

For this card I made a background using alcohol inks in shades of blue, purple and gold. I then stamped the words and geometric stamps and embossed in gold. I stamped the butterfly onto acetate and embossed with Verdigris powder, fussy cut it out and used the alcohol inks to colour on the back.




Next I have a wall hanging. 
I covered a piece of grey board in papers and stamped the geometric elements in VersaMark. I have then brushed mica powder over. This gives a lovely, subtle shine to the stamped images. 
I then made my layers for the centre. 
First, I have a black mat of card. On this I have a piece of corrugated card which I have brushed with gesso. I then had a scrap of muslin which I have stained with Distress Ink. I stamped the moth and embossed in white. I then fussy cut this out. I used distress ink on a small wooden frame, I cut a piece of card to fit behind the frame and stamped and embossed one of the geometric stamps in gold. I assembled all the pieces together and added the word stamp. I made two holes at the top and added some string.

 
Thanks for looking

  2. I love the contrast of the black coloured and embossed butterfly against the alcohol inked background, so pretty Sandra, with the gold stamped and embossed words and geometric shapes, then the wall hanging with the more rustic look of the corrugated card and the wooden shape for the lovely white embossed moth to sit on, and I love the papers that you have added some stamping on for the background. x
