I have news! Today is my last Friday Feature. Oh, but don't look glum. I am now in charge of Marvellous Monday so I will be back in a couple of days with another blog post!!
MARVELLOUS - I ran this through my spell-checker and it seems there are 2 ways to spell it. Well, technically there are lots of ways to spell it if you count all the wrong ways! I am going with the double L version - MARVELLOUS.
For my last Friday Feature I've got a card to show you made using the heart from the Tin Man set which is one of the latest characters from Visible Image.
When Mark was designing the Wizard of Oz stamps I had it in my head that there would be something steam punk, something clockwork, something industrial to compliment Tin Man himself. And I wasn't wrong was I? Just look at the detail on the heart, those cogs, the rivets on the 'metal' plates. I really love this stamp.
I first made my background. I used Dylusions Ink Sprays in Tangerine Dream, Pomegranate seed and Fresh Lime. On top of that I stamped the cogs from the Time after Time set. I used Peeled Paint distress ink for this. It gave a very subtle hint of a pattern which is what I wanted.
I used a hematite black heat embossing powder for the hearts, sentiment and wings, which are also from the Time after Time set. I used the same coloured card for these pieces. Remember I always make more background card for just this reason!
To make the pieces all gel, I added some little dots at the corners of the card and the sentiment with my embossing ink pen and heat embossed with the hematite powder to echo the rivets on the hearts.
Hope you have enjoyed the last Friday Feature? Don't forget to come back on Monday, or rather on Marvellous Monday for more crafting with Visible Image stamps.
