Craft Stamper Magazine.... My first project as part of there new DesignTeam

I am thrilled to have just joined the Craft Stamper family, as part of the Design Team for "Make it Take it" monthly challenge, which is on the craft stamper blog you can find it at http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/take-it-make-it-challenge-september.html  

There is a new challenge every month and a prize to be won, this months prize is two D rings and  washi tape ( there is a picture further down in this post to show you)

Our first project is .....Stamping on tissue

Something I have never done before so I had to get my thinking cap on! This is my project, a plaque ! Another first for me as I have never done 'home decor' 

Here are a few step by step photo's to show you how I made it using the stamping on tissue method.

I put plain white tissue in a foil tin 

And sprayed with black and gold spray inks

Then left it to dry, you can use a heat gun to dry it. Then painted over a plaque I had purchased with gesso 

Next I covered the plaque with the tissue, just glued it down with a Matt medium 

Then I left it to dry and collected up a selection of bits a And bobs, such as large brads, prima flowers,burlap etc ( colour doesn't matter) and painted them all over with gesso and left to dry

Next I stamped on my white tissue paper using Stampotique 'hearts' stamp using gold Stazon 

Then I placed the stamped on tissue, over the plaque, glued it down and covered the top also with the Matt medium 

This Is how it looks after you have put the Matt medium on top!

I left this to dry and started to add Inka gold to the bits I had covered in gesso

I just added bits here and there till I was happy with the look, I also made a flower and added Inka gold to that to match, and I painted one brad black and then added the Inka gold to it for  some contrast.

Then laid it all out and moved it around until I was happy, then glued it down with more Matt medium 

Once glued down I left it to dry again! Once dry I hang it on my wall!

I hope you have found the step by step photos helpful

Now it's over to you to join in the fun at 

And remember there is a great prize of 2 D rings and washi tape, here is the picture of it I promised
