image in timber brown stazon then added some brown around the edges i stamped the words tick and tock on separate card and tore them out then inked them in turquoise and then finally added some turquoise seed beads at the opposite corners i ve joined a rubber stamped atc swap so there will be more to come shortly posted by sian at 10 37 00 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc rubber stamping saturday 27 december 2008 i m back well i just realised i haven t blogged for over three weeks there are a few reasons for this but mainly i ve been very busy with christmas and also haven t been feeling too good and have been totally lacking in inspiration anyway i was lucky enough to receive a melting pot for christmas thanks matt and lots of other bits and pieces so am finally beginning to get some inspiration back and some spare time too the atc on the left is one of my first experiments with the melting pot i mixed up some utee silver embossing powder and reinkers yes i know you re not supposed to use reinkers in it but why would that stop me i poured some of the mixture directly onto the atc and stamped into it then when it was almost cool i trimmed the excess off the edges and dumped it back into the melting pot to be used again i painted the atc below the utee in pewter and then dry brushed over the utee with the same colour to pick up the raised bits i used antique gold metallic rub on over parts of it finally i stamped the words tick and tock into air dry clay and used the same paint and metallic rub on on those it s available to swap if anyone wants it you can email me from the link in my profile i ve also done some other bits and pieces with the melting pot and will put the results on my blog when i ve made them into something posted by sian at 14 46 00 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc melting pot mixed

pinterest wednesday 3 december 2008 three ms metal mesh and messy yep i m still alive i haven t been feeling very well hence my lack of posts lately i haven t done much arty stuff either which is not good although i have managed a few atcs these atcs are for a swap i m hosting on the docrafts forum each atc must have an element of metal mesh and something messy eg paint ink etc on the top one i created the middle section by freehand embossing some copper heating it until it went all nice and orangey painting over it lightly in black acrylic and then sanding it lightly with fine grade sandpaper i created the texture around the edges using extra heavy gel medium copper mesh and plasterboard tape painted with copper acrylic and a black acrylic pva wash the words were painted on shrink plastic in acrylic and then shrunk the background on the second one was done using two different types of mesh i painted over it with a thick layer of acrylic and heat dried it to create some texture then added copper embossing powder around the edges i made a tile from makins clay which i rolled with a piece of lace on top to create the texture the face was also made using makins clay i made it in a mould and then pressed a flower bead into it three times leaving it in place the third time i painted the tile and the face the same colour as the background stuck them on and then went over the whole thing with some copper metallic rub on to bring out the texture the background on the third one was done in a similar way to the second except that this time i dry brushed it with two different colours of acrylic rather than using a metallic rub on i used aluminium mesh on this one the house was stamped onto aluminium which i coloured with alcohol inks and then embossed i rubbed over it with some sandpaper to bring out the embossed lines and make it look distressed the background on the final one was done again using different types of mesh i painted over it with black acrylic and then covered it with red and gold embossing powder and stamped into it the main image is stamped onto alcohol inked aluminium and the words and stars were painted onto shrink plastic and shrunk posted by sian at 13 38 00 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc makin s clay metal mixed media rubber stamping texture

colours of ink i then unscrunched it and spritzed it with water and a bit of green and blue radiant rain spray i added sandpaper at the bottom which i sprayed with gold shimmer spray some gold decorative sand and some tiny pebbles picked up from the beach i ve also added a piece of real driftwood the seaweed is made from various fibres and the seahorse is made from polymer clay and painted

and paper this is my entry for this week s tmta on the theme of cloth and paper i wanted to create a traditional looking christmas atc for this one the main image is a gel medium image transfer onto linen the linen an offcut from the bottom of some too long curtains that i bought a few years ago and it s proved to be extremely useful i m quite pleased with how soft the transfer has turned out as i think it suits the look of the atc the background is a printed image of some christmas music which i ve coloured using distress inks i added some printed papers at the corners some sparkly mesh and a strip of printed paper along the bottom then i layered on the main image and some fabric holly leaves with some stick on gems for the berries finally i added the star brad at the bottom and the words which i made using a dymo label maker posted by sian at 16 43 00 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc fabric mixed media think monday think atc friday 21 november 2008 round robin journal my page for susan this is my journal page for susan on the theme of woman i started off by inking the background in shades of purple blue and aqua then spritzed it with water and heat dried it i then sprayed on some gold cosmic shimmer powder and heat dried it again then stamped the text in shades to match the background i stamped the man image in black stazon and added a piece of sequin mesh at the opposite corner i then added the flourish and the word woman which are grungeboard which i ve painted with acrylics then added crackle medium with metallic rub on over the top to show up the cracks unfortunately this doesn t show up well in the photo finally i addded the flower and leaf at the corner of the stamped image with a button for the centre of the flower posted by sian at 14 34 00 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels mixed media round robin journal rubber stamping wednesday 19 november 2008 wednesday stamper snowflakes this week s theme on wednesday stamper is snowflakes i ve made an atc for this which i ve called snowy days i ve used a printed and cut out vintage christmas card image of a girl throwing snowballs and mounted it onto a tile which i made firstly by inking with distress inks then covering with three layers of clear utee with some silver embossing powder around the edges and then stamping into it with a snowflake stamp and yes i forgot to cut out the bit between her feet i ve cut it out now and it looks much better but it s too dark to take a new photo i also used distress inks for the background stamped snowflakes onto it in white pigment ink and embossed them with holographic powder then i added some silver embossing powder aroud the edges the big snowflake at the bottom is stamped in white ink on navy blue card and embossed with holographic powder as you can probably imagine both the snowflake and the background are a lot more shimmery and sparkly in real life finally i added the gems down the side and the printed words posted by sian at 15 59 00 23 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc mixed media rubber stamping utee wednesday stamper sunday 16 november 2008 some friendly plastic atcs these are for a friendly plastic themed swap being hosted by sheena doggrooomer on the docrafts forum i absolutely love using friendly plastic so this was one i couldn t miss and it also gave me the chance to make some nice textured backgrounds using my new gel mediums and moulding pastes for the top one i made the background using golden light moulding paste and course pumice gel painted it with balck acrylic and then dry brushed it with gold and metallic red acrylic paint i heated some triangles of gold friendly plastic for the wings and then stuck some smaller triangles of the black snakeskin effect fp on top i then dragged a needle tool through the fp from the centre to create the bat wing effect i made the head using a mould and then heated the wings up a bit more and stuck the head onto them finally i made the small squares by layering two different sized squares of fp on top of each other and dragging the needle tool through it from the centre to give them spiky corners i added gems in the middle of the squares and in the eyes of the face by heating the fp a bit and sticking the gem straight into it i stuck the fp pieces onto the background using silicone glue i find silicone glue works well with fp because the fp is light and the glue is flexible for the second one i created the background using golden light moulding paste which i made wiggly lines in using a coarse bristled paintbrush and then painted over it using some lovely shimmery watercolour paints and addded some metallic rub on over the top to pick up the ridges the friendly plastic is done in three layers for the bottom layer i started with three strips which i spiked the edges of using a needle tool and then pressed some mesh into the middle of i pressed the mesh in using the needle tool so the fp would ooze up through the gaps next i created a layer of marbled fp by heating up strips and then pulling a marbling comb through it first in one direction and then in the other i then heated the bottom layer again and stuck the marbled layer on top finally i made the face using a mould i had a slight mishap with this one in that i ended up with a bit at the top of the head where the black showed through i didn t quite position the fp correctly in the mould i don t do wastage so instead of throwing it away i decided to make a feature of it by sticking a gem in the middle of the black bit i think it works even if nobody else does finally i heated the fp again for about 20 seconds and stuck the head onto it i left it to cool and then stuck it onto the background using silicone glue i created the background on the third one using golden extra heavy gel medium left it to dry ok i admit i helped it out a little bit with my heat tool and then painted over it using the same shimmery watercolours as on the one above i rubbed over it with silver metallic rub on and added a narrow border of silver embossing powder using versamark ink to stick it i created the friendly plastic flowers by cutting some small triangles of fp and arranging them in a circle so the points were touching in the centre i heated the fp up and then pressed a medium sized plastic gem into the centre i placed a small piece of shiny mesh in the centre of the atc and then stuck the fp flowers on top of it using silicone glue which also holds the mesh in place the shimmer doesn t show up well on the photo of this one and it looks much more colourful in real life if anyone knows how to take good photos of shiny things and doesn t mind sharing please let me know your secrets for the last one i also used the extra heavy gel medium for the background drew hearts in it using the end of a paintbrush and painted over it in bright pink acrylic i left it to dry and then painted over the top with metallic acrylics in shades of gold blue and purple i used two layers of friendly plastic on this one the first layer was made using four squares of fp which i placed together to make a bigger square heated and then made the holes in it using a wet embossing tool i dipped it in cold water before making each hole this stops it from sticking to the fp i put this aside and then create...
