postcards from the attic home monday 23 october 2017 antiqued frame for stampendous i do enjoy a bit of upcycling and this project started life as a cheap plastic frame from the 1 shop products used

picture frame with black gesso to cover it completely mix gold and burnt umber decoart paints to make a brassy colour dry brush this all over the frame add a further layer of dry brushed black and gold gilding wax highlights stamp the image onto mixed media paper ink with a beige colour to make it look old scrunch up the paper and flatten out again before inking over the highlights with a mid brown tone to make them stand out stamp the web onto the glass with stazon use texture sand paste and paints to create a rusty bookplate print off wording age as before and add behind the bookplate finish with a cut out spider since completing this the paint has cracked in some areas where i think the frame material has resisted the paint because it s plastic i actually think this is really cool but to avoid it sand the frame lightly first happy hauntings katy x posted by unknown at 10 50 29 comments labels halloween stampendous monday 16 october 2017 dotd spooktacular shrine for stampendous

september 2017 teeny seth apter inspired mini a new challenge blog has launched this week mini album makers challenge dedicated to the art of book making i ve been inspired by seth apter in my creation who is the sponsor for this month s challenge it s based on a tiny album he created a while back i adore dinky things so was inspired to make my own incorporating his dies and stamps of course i ve made a wee video so you peek inside thanks for visiting katy x posted by unknown at 11 34 13 comments labels minibooks monday 14 august 2017 mixed up challenge cork hello if you ve found your way here from the mixed up mag blog welcome to our first challenge if you didn t then check out the challenge here there s a great prize of a big bundle of chipboard from i kropka to be won the theme is cork so for my contribution i thought i d have a go at creating some diy stamps from wine corks i may have a few lying around cork is a bit flaky like me so you can t be too precise with it it has a tendency to do what it likes to split and fracture so go with it abstract is the way forward i used a lino cutting tool to create these two stamps on one i gouged out some channels and on the other kind of scooped out little areas by twisting the tool in a circular motion you can also use a craft knife which will give you neater results two lovely mark making tools for free can t be bad i used both stamps on my atc which is just a bit of scrap from a gelli print finished with a stampotique image and a phrase from one of my printables coming to the mixed up mag website soon can t wait to see what you make for the challenge katy x posted by unknown at 12 13 1 comment labels atc mixed up magazine friday 11 august 2017 an untold story with sin city stamps super excited to have received my new and first stamp set for sin city stamps i work in all kinds of styles but vintage has been a constant theme in my work over the years and i ve never grown tired of it actually although based on vintage images this set is pretty versatile and can be use in a modern context too you can get them here i have to say i am so pleased with the quality they are really thick and beautifully cut thanks so much kim correspondence stamps retail at 18 99 usd shipping to the uk is 6 i didn t take any step pics for this one but i ll talk you through what i did this page is in my junk journal which is an old poetry book first off i obscured the text a bit with decoart media titan buff paint watered down i stamped the pen nibs directly onto the paper with black archival masking off the largest one so they fit better on my page they are lightly coloured with kuretake gansai tambi starry colours watercolour paint i wasn t too heavy with the paint so i didn t obscure the stamping the pen at the foot of the page is coloured the same way my ink bottle is stamped in stazon ultramarine and the highlights are caught with tumbled glass distress ink i stamped the label again and distressed it by crumpling it up and then inking with antique linen vintage photo distress ink the text background is stamped onto card which has also been inked distressed and then torn the tim holtz paper doll has wings not from my set but we ve all got 100 butterfly stamps right i gave him wings to fit with the stamped quotation there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you i thought it was fun and quirky to have him sitting on the ink bottle at the end it all looked a bit brown so i added a very watery wash of decoart media prussian blue hue i also coloured the wings with this and the kuretake watercolours i treated the acrylic a bit like watercolour by making it very runny and allowing it to pool on the page it has soaked in more where there is no paint and less where the titan buff layer was applied which i really like hope you like my make and my stamps don t forget to tell your creative story katy x posted by unknown at 11 14 4 comments labels art journaling sin
