White on White


Both Stampotique and Simon Says Stamp have the theme of white this week.  Simon Says have a photo inspiration picture and I chose to use the bottom right image.

I painted the mdf cog shape with picket fence distress paint (and it covered beautifully in one coat).  I used wow vanilla white embossing powder with the Stampotique journey collage stamp.  I loved the way this looked and really didn't want to cover it up!!

I stamped the Stampotique key keeper and the T!m blueprint key onto acetate, coloured it with snowflake fresco paint and cut them out.  The lock was stamped onto a really thick white vellum and again cut out.

As you can see from the shadows the sun came out, so I am pleased to say the colour is a true reflection.

Hi I'm Sam, 42, birthday in October - Any piece of art gratefully rec'd - Thanks. OH, Martin, been together 23 years and still no plans to get married!!! We love spending time with our pupster, especially when the weather is dry and we get to take him to the woods. I love any sort of crafting and would say that I am adventurous with new materials. We love going skiing in any winter resort, but mainly the States or Canada, they have better snow!! We lost our first beardie, Max, August 2006 at a ripe old age of 14 and 1/4. Since then Frazzie has come along, he is now 5 years and 10 months old and is still a little Bugger, Bugger!!! Unfortunately in December 2008 we lost Alfie at 14 months old after only having a short time of 7 weeks loving and caring for him. He found a good buddie in Fraz and loved him to bits.
