Hello everyone, it's my turn on the blog again and here are the
rest of my samples from the September Hochanda shows. I'll start with one of my
favourites and a favourite technique too- Intaglio enamelling.
For this design I've used Artist Trading Heart & Happy Flower Day. I stamped the heart onto thick card and cut it out. I then covered the entire surface with Versamark and then applied chunky bronze embossing powder before heating to melt. I repeated this process twice more and while the enamelling was still molten after the third application, I stamped the butterfly from Happy flower Day into it having inked the stamp first with a black inkpad. you will need to let the enamelling cool before you remove the stamp.
I mounted the heart onto a piece of Kraft card which had been passed through an embossing folder and given a light coating of gilding wax. To finish I added some narrow organza ribbon and attached to a 6 x 6 white card blank.
Next, we have the pretty butterfly from Happy Flower Day which I've embossed onto navy card using pink, green, lilac and blue embossing powders. I sprinkled a little embossing powder randomly and heated from below. I also stamped the butterfly onto the 7 x 7 white card blank using a grey inkpad.
Above and below we have 2 different looks to the gorgeous Celebration Bouquet. Above I've used Brushos to make a vibrant background and then stamped over the top using a black inkpad. I then coloured using water based pens. I stamped the A5 card blank using Open Weave and a brown inkpad. To finish I mounted onto some Kraft card and added some string for a natural look.
It's amazing how many different looks you can achieve using the
same stamp. For this design I stamped onto self adhesive stationery labels
using a black inkpad. I coloured softly with pencils and then peeled the labels
off the backing sheet and repositioned them onto pink card, white card and
finally grey. I then attached to a white A5 card blank.
Here are the rest of my
samples and some which didn't appear on the show.

Here I've inked inside a masked oval and stamped the lovely magnolia
from Happy Flower Day. I coloured with pencils for this one
before layering onto
white card.
Finally we have a simple bookmark from Happy Flower Day.
Thanks for visiting the blog today. Don't forget to watch out
