I’ve made up five row houses, stamping the two from the Whimsical Melange plate as is, and then using the ruler and the scroll stamp to vary them. I’ve then masked them all off and stamped the main images from the Bird plate, masked those off and added in some more backgrounds.
Then I’ve added all the twiddly bits! For the rows of beads, I’ve taken a bracelet, glued it down with Crafters Pick the Ultimate glue (wonderful stuff) and then cut the string when it’s dry – an easy way to get a long row of beads without them all falling off!
This is amazing! I love the stamp plate you have used.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful and such a vintge feel to this because of the colours and the faded look.
ReplyDeleteI love the variety and layers and what a clever idea to glue the beads down as a whole string then cut it.
