A FEAST for the eyes!

Hellooooooo stampers!!!

Have I got a treat for you! My inbox went from being very empty to overflowing with scrumptious goodness very quickly! So I have lots of new entries to share with you today!

First up we have this mini canvas that was created by Jenene Evans:


Jenene says:

"I have titled my 12.5cm x 18cm canvas ‘Pear-shaped’. First I gave the canvas a quick coat of acrylic paint, then glued ‘Basic Grey’ Vintage floral paper. I randomly rubbed some ‘Golden’ iridescent gold paint over the paper". 

"I used ‘Jo Sonjas’ texture paste to stamp the pear stamp, & rubbed a little red ‘sennelier’ oil pastel over the dried paste. I stamped in black ‘Staz On’, butterfly’s by ‘Pinkpaislee’, and text. Meanwhile I stamped the pear stamp into Jovi modelling paste, and cut out the shape (took a while to dry), rubbed gold paint into the text on one of the pears, then painted the pears with acrylic paint. I finished my piece by gluing the pears onto canvas, wrapping black wool around and gluing on letters by ‘Scrapex’".

Lovely work Jenene!

Next we have an ATC that was created by Sue Smith:


Sue says:

"I've stamped images from Darkroom Door's 'Champs Elysee' stamp set on coffee stained card using VersaFine Onyx Black and Vintage Sepia ink to create the background. I then affixed two chocolate images from Darkroom Door's Sweet Treats Montage with a scrap of lace and machine stitching. Finally I stamped a section of the postcard address stamp over part of the larger chocolate image with Onyx Black ink and added a section of black German scrap along bottom edge of ATC as the finishing touch".

Scrumptious work Sue!!

Next we have this tag that was created by Shirley Henry:


Shirley says:

"I started with a large manila tag. Covered most of the front with paper from 6x6 S.E.I paper pad called "Happy Day". The top of the front of the tag and all the back was coloured with Wild Honey Distress Stain".

"I used the same paper to die cut two circle tabs for the front and back of tag. The yummy cocktail is from a paper napkin. I cut it out and adhered to double sided jac paper. I did not remove the back layer of the jac paper. Adhered to tag using small foam squares under the fruit to add dimension. Some stickles added to fruit. I attached a charm to the stem of the wine glass".

"The 5 and 'celebrate' from Purple Onion stamps, stamped in black on white card and cut out. Edged in Wild Honey ink. Other three words were printed from computer".


"Back of tag stamped 'happy birthday' as a border in black ink. "Make a Wish", "Cake Time" and "to: from:" stamps from Purple Onion. "Party" is a word strip from Darkroom Door Sweet Treats collection.
Two small cupcakes cut from the same paper pad as on the front. Orange ribbon to finish. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the String Sentiments Set (Darkroom Door)".

Fabulous work Shirley!

Next we have a recipe card box that was created by Vicky Fernando:


Vicky says:

"I started by cutting out my own template for an ATC-sized box, and covering it with some plain white tissue paper which I had stamped using StaZon ink, I then added some Distress ink (Vintage photo) and cut the postage shape out with a Cuttlebug die, and the closure edge was cut with an Alterations die. I then added magnet strips for the closure". 



"I stamped the "top secret" image onto a piece of acetate using StaZon ink (royal purple) and stamped the teapot (Oxford Impressions Classic Alice) onto the box before assembling. I then stamped various images from the Darkroom DOor Mail Art stamp set onto some white cardstock, cutting them & adding them to the assembled box. I then remembered I own a fork and knife clear stamp (an old set from Studio Astarte) so I used some Versamark ink and some pewter embossing powder, and added these to my finished box".

Terrific work Vicky!

Next we have this card that was created by Chloe Nielsen:


Chloe has used the Kaisercraft Candy Lane range of papers and stamps with VersaColor ink.

Lovely work Chloe!
