As I was organizing my stash of stamps,

I came across a little stash of odds and ends and

snips of fabric with metallic embroidery, beads and sequins.

The snips are small but are very inspiring.



Above is a close up of the inspiring fabric.

 

Oh, don't I wish a had a larger piece of the ornate fabric.

 

 

The above sketch from Scrap Club was the basis of my composition.  The sketch

challenge ended on May 19th.  Too late to enter this page, but never too late

to post on my blog.

Heaven Sent

 

The trilogy is complete with this last photo.

I love the control you get when using inks and a sponge applicator

over a stencil.  A layout can be completed quickly with just

some stamping and stencil work.

 

 

I used my new Fiskar feather punch to create the sweet little feathers above. I wanted something light and lacy to insert under the photo and achieved that with some velum paper, a flower punch, and some silver colored Liquid Pearls to trace around the shape of the petals.

 

 

 

I finally used my LaBlanche scissor stamp!  Here you can see it under the flowers on top of the stencil work placed on the photo. I adore the ornate portion of the scissors, and hope to use it in a different way on a future project.

 

All chipboard is from Blue Fern Studios.

Thank you for looking.



Second in a Trilogy -- "Even Angels Have Bad Hair Days"

 

Inspired?

You betcha!

Organizing those stamps really put me in the mood

to create again.

 

The stamping rendered a digi-like appearance.



Used the material from a cereal box to create the angel wing and then added

some tissue paper and glued it down to create texture and dimension.

 



I have more photo taken on the same day of this little Angel to create

a trilogy for this subject matter.....just hope the inspiration stays with me

to get the third one finished.

Thanks for visiting.



Angel on Duty

 

A creative slump

inspired me to

organize my collection of  stamps

which lead me

to create

Angel on Duty.

 

An old favorite Stampington Button & Lace Stamp

adds an interesting texture with some threaded details.

 



I had forgotten just how versatile this stamp is

and it's so exquisite too.

Here's a picture of the wood stamp and the item number is S7113, Buttons & Lace, in

case you'd like one of your own.
