Hey everyone :) Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Today is my weekly post for Visible Image Stamps
I had so much fun creating this :) I have been meaning and needing to make a holder for my glues/stickles for a while now, I don't have many, but I hate going to use them and them taking forever to come out, or having air bubbles in them that then spit all over my work :( So what better than a holder that holds them upside down ready for use.
1. Using my silhouette I cut out all of the pieces to make the glue holder. Before bending and sticking it all together I decorated it.
2. I covered the whole thing in random colours of paint, no particular order, I just made sure everything was covered. In some areas i dabbed the paint on thickly with the brush to create some texture. This was then left to dry.
3. I took the stamps I wanted to use, in this case Inkognito Flower, Create your future and retro dots background and randomly stamped in black Archival ink straight onto the colour. In some areas i used acrylic paint on my retro dot stamp and stamped thickly and lightly so that this also added more texture.
4. I had cut out some embellishments, some arrows and a birdcage and painted these when I was doing the base.
5. Once the stamping was dry I put the glue holder together.
6. I stuck the embellishments on where I wanted them.
7. I coated the whole thing in a bitumen solution (AKA the Tarmac Technique) and once this was dry, sponged areas off to reveal the now muted colours underneath.
8. To finish I lightly rubbed some guilding wax over sections to highlight texture and shapes.
Once it was all dry it was ready to use :)

DeleteAwesome project! Thanks for sharing with us and joining ASTM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And a fantastic project!! Thanks for playing along with us at Shopping Our Stash for the "Splish Splash" challenge!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool idea. Having them upside down - of course! Why didn't I think of that. Thanks so much for playing along at ATSM xx
ReplyDeleteI need one of these, like RIGHT NOW!!!! How fabulous, Sam, and so clever! I’m of the ‘shake the bottle till it splats all over the desk' variety of crafter (yes I take the top off the bottle to see if it’s getting any closer to coming out while still shaking it)! This would solve a lot of cleaning up and wasted product! And it looks so amazing too!! xx
ReplyDeleteJust think new Silhouette owner, you can make one now ;p xx
DeleteThis is cool. Thanks for sharing at Penny's this week.
