Charm meets Beauty

Good afternoon!

I thought I'd blog a step by step for the Groovi project I did on Hochanda yesterday, be rude not as I actually remembers to take pics!

 

Emboss 3 sides of the largest postage stamp, check picture to see where I stopped...

 

Move parchment along to extend the postage stamp into a rectangle 

 

Use the nested scalloped rectangle plate to add an internal frame

 

Using a spare piece of parchment, make a template for the stamp and postmark, use this to position the postmark first.

 

 

Now add the postage stamp

 

Emboss the head, torso, and lower leg from the Charm plate

 

Change over to the Beauty plate to put the skirt in place

 

Return to Charm, add the rest of the legs into place, fill in any gaps.

 

Add a couple of swirly ribbons

 

Use the straight Piercing grid https://claritystamp.com/products/straight-basic-piercing-grid-br-a5-squareto emboss two rows of dots as in picture.

 

Use 6mm and 4.5mm ball tools to add a little white work, rest between layers-the parchment not you.

 

To colour, mask off the inside frame and use Dorso Crayons and Dorso Oil to blend around the bottom edges. Use Pergaliners to colour the images.

 

To finish the piece, pierce and snip, or just cut around the scallops.

Cut a piece of paper from the Brighton Rock paper pad, needs to be the size of the inside frame.

Use brads to secure artwork and paper to an A5 card blank made from thick acetate.

 

 

Hope you like the project, I certainly enjoyed making it.

Thanks for stopping by
