Crafty Daze

Some twinchies with swirly backgrounds for the swap on UK Stampers. I have coloured the card with Versacolour ink padsusing several colours on each twinchie. Then I have used an Inkadinkadoo stamp to make a swirled background. Finally I have used some lovely leaf stamps to stamp images using my black archival ink pad.

I have completed my twinchies for the August swap on UK Stampers, this months theme is pets. I have used some batting and have sprayed it with glimmer mists and cosmic shimmer sprays before sprinkling on different coloured mica powders. Some of the powders were perfect pearls which I found sprinkled better than the cosmic shimmer powders, they didn't clump together so much.

I placed a little cat on the top. The cat image was stamped onto black shrink plastic and then heated and coloured to add a little gloss. I glued the cat on with glossy accents.

The theme for the UK Stampers twinchies swap this month is monochrome. I have painted my blank twinchies with creamy white paint, leaving some bumps and lumps to add texture. I then stamped my image using a Technique Tuesday clear stamp and archival black ink. I added some white and transparent dots using white pearl stickles and Anita's glossy clear finish. I don't normally work in just black and white, but quite like the effect.
