How was your weekend? I had a hectic weekend, teaching on Saturday and then my Trimcraft Christmas demo on Sunday which was really good - lots of crafters, both new and advanced. I think I need another day off but it's Monday so no rest for the wicked!
I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today using one stamp 3 ways. This is something I enjoy doing as it makes me think of different ways to use a product.
It's only now that I look at what I made that I realise how you can't tell I've used the same stamp due to the way I've used it!
For my first card I've used the stamp through a balloon stencil. I thought it was an unusual way of using the stamp and works well. The background is smooshed and I've added bows and twine to embellish.
Next up is a mixed media creation using the stamp as a background. I've distressed a paper pad using ink then stamped over to create the background. I used black gesso through a stencil and some art wax to add shimmer. It picks up the texture of the gesso so well. To finish I added a die cut circle and sentiment.
So there you have it - 1 stamp used in 3 ways! A more indepth tutorial for all the cards is on the CrafTangles blog HERE.
Have a great week and see you on Friday!
