Firstly once again my apologies for missing mypost last week - there is a certain little black furry thing in our house that is taking up all of my time and does not like me crafting!!!
Secondly how amazing are my new Indigo Blu stamps :D I got them at their launch at Port Sunlight last week and fell in lurve!!
Ok so how to :D
I started by covering my cute little house in a piece of text from my Alice book .
I stamped over the whole thing with my crackle stamp in coffee archival ink and left to dry.
Next I stamped the ruler along the edge in black ink, masked the edges and coloured with wild honey distress stain - two swooshes and it was done :D
I coloured the rest of it with barn door distress ink pad and added a clock and an ink blot stamp in black archival ink.
I stamped the white rabbit on to a separate piece of paper and coloured with promarkers and stuck it to my house with Claudine's matte medium.
I masked the rabbit off and sprayed the watch with gold cosmic shimmer mist but found this dulled the stamped image too much. I decided to stamp the watch section again on to acetate and when dry cut out and glued over the original stamped image with a little glossy accents.
I added the tiny type letters and glossy accented them and left to dry overnight so I wasn't tempted to stick my fingers in to check if it was dry LOL :D
I added walnut stain distress stickles randomly to add a little subtle sparkle around the edges carefull applied with my splodgey finger :D
Alice was stamped onto white shrink plastic with coffee archival ink and coloured lightly with pencils - the colour intensifies so much when it shrinks so if you are too heavy handed it looks awful.
I left a tab at the top of Alice when I cut her out and punched a hole so that she could dangle in the bottle.
Once shrunk with my heatgun I added little eye hooks to the cork of the Tim Holtz bottle and attached Alice with a jump ring .
I threw in a teeny key then put the cork in and wrapped the neck of the bottle with bakers twine and added a hand written tag.
To attach it to the house I drilled a little hole and threaded a piece of wire through then wrapped this around the eyelet in the cork.
I also made little holes at the top of the house to add more wire to hang the piece up.
Hope you like it :D
Hugs'n'snogs,
