Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge


A new challenge from Craft Stamper Magazine for March. Phew! Only just made it - literally.
I'm entering this card as I've had a go at the monoprinting with an acrylic block method - featured in the current issue of Craft Stamper. I haven't got an enormous acrylic block so used my Cuttlebug base plate. Handy things those Cuttlebug plates. I use the B plate for extra large stamps too. I used yellow and orange acrylic paints for this and there is a lovely texture like the ripples on the beach when the tide's gone out but I can't get the camera to pick it up. I didn't want to cover it up so have just overstamped in Spiced Marigold DI with the same Sheena Douglass stamp that I used for the image. I coloured this with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs - cut it out and fiddled about for ages trying to find where I was going to stick it all. Still not happy with it but too late to change once I'd got the glue gel on it. Think it should have been a tall card so I could have extended the 'stalk'.The butterfly circle is a die cut from a crafty friend of mine - must get this die at some point.
Than you for visiting today.
