Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,
Yesterday just whizzed by, Lucy and I did a 'tourist' visit to Bourton on the Water, we had a sandwich by the river, there was a definite chill in the air though, so we didn't hang about too long, we walked back along the river to the car, I have to say it's still crazy busy with tourists. After we got hone I sat and created the little journal page above.
Karen, you are right about Tracey Evans stencils they do have both outline and inner piece, however if you want to stamp just inside the bird, the stencil itself is too thick, if like I did yesterday you wanted the stamping to look like it starts off the bird, having the outer part of the stencil would protect the area surrounding the bird but its too thick to stamp over, (there would be a ridge) which would cause some of stamped image be missed. I know its a faff having to fussy cut bird, but the copier paper is totally flat and you can line it up to the very edge of the bird and stamp, no ridges. I hope that explains it, I can do it in picture form if you like. xxx
Today's Journal page is another 'Vicki P' inspired piece, I used Stamperia Golden Harmony paper pad to fussy cut the elements and for the background paper. I did some background stamping and added some texture paste and some green ink
I then added green splatters and arranged my fussy cut pieces, I printed the little sentiment on my cheapy little Thermo printer that just links to your phone! Final touch was to add some white splatters.
I hope that you all have a great Wednesday,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn’t get in yesterday, love your Snippet and today’s journal page is fabulous too 😍
I’m intrigued to hear about your Thermo printer! I started looking for a new printer before we went away, as ours has stopped working 😕 I’ve seen these little ones that you can print from your phone and thought it would be ideal for in my craft room, but then I remembered I have digi stamps saved to our hard drive, so I’m unsure what to get. Which types of printers do you all use?
I started to do some crafting yesterday but then got distracted by watching Tim Holtz video on embossing folders ☺️ Amazing what him and his team have done to transform them. Well worth a watch and thank you Sandra for recommending 😊
Have a good day everyone whatever you’re doing
Sending hugs to you all xx
Lovely page and thanks for the info re cutting a mask in copier paper I should have realised that Doh!
ReplyDeleteWe are going into London today to do the Elvis Immersive experience I am not an Elvis fan but admire the music he created Such a shame that it and Colonel Parker turned him into a monster I’m intrigued
Take care everyone xx
