So I caved and decided to buy some new stash as I was feeling a little stuck and lacking in mojo with my non-Christmas stash after all those Christmas in July projects… so bought lots of Altenew stash which arrived a couple of days ago. Here is the result of my first play!
I mean … really how cool is this?
So this play was quite a long one and I learnt along the way how to use the stamps and decided on the following …
1. Use the stamp platform … it makes layering easier
2. Start with light ink first … it helps differentiate the layers
3. Just have fun and go for it regardless … that’s what I did! Die cut everything once stamped and it looks fab regardless!
I had quite a lot of pieces stamped and die cut and decided to just layer up lots of the images on this DL long slim card.
I also added the stencilling to the background but you can’t really see it and I didn’t really like it so hey ho!
I ended up adding a sentiment from the SU Artistic set across the front as couldn’t see another one I thought went with it … think this worked ok though.
Then I added the sequins and called it done as it really did have quite a lot added to the front.
I had two flowers left from my session so they’ve been put aside for other projects.
Fancy seeing how I put this together and learn along with me the best ways of stamping the images … well you can watch it on my YouTube channel.
Happy crafting!
