I was making some ATC's tonight (I blame Hels', you've probably noticed she's on a bit of an ATC kick at the moment)
Anyhow, I was using the fab Paperartsy stamp from Hotpick 1006 when I had an idea.
I had the red tag inked and water-splashed from yesterday but unfinished. (Barn Door and Fired Brick inks)
I stamped the Paperartsy flower in fired brick on the tag and then used the bottle from Wendy V which I stamped on acetate - drying with the heat gun very gently, not knowing if it woud ruin the acetate (it's quite thick so I was ok) I cut it out, removing the lid - hey presto, a flower vase. (I'm sure it's been done before)
Finished the tag with the script stamp from the same Hotpick set and a self coloured flower held in place with a memo pin filled with (still drying...) glossy accents, and some foliage idea-ology/maya road trinkety bits.
Couldn't get a decent close up with the glare of the flash on the acetate and was standing at a funny angle to keep my shadow out of the way! I may try tomorrow in daylight (although given the wet forecast we may not get much daylight tomorrow!)
Anyhow, the evening is speeding by and I need a cup of tea, (the first one got cold...) so TTFN. My wish list for Stevenage is ever growing - have you seen Leandra's FAB new Hotpicks?????? OMG...
