Impression Obsession - Dawn Heald

Hellooooo,

Happy Weekend everyone!

Is it me or are the weekends getting

closer together??  No it's me 

getting old haha!!

Ok, so today is Dawn's turn to

show us what she has been up to 

with the Impression Obsession Cover a Card 

stamps.

This is what Dawn says..... 

Hi there, for this week's topic of layered

 backgrounds I've done three different 

techniques, using the same stamp to make 

my own background for an art journal page. 

The Impression Obsession Cover all stamps are 

brilliant to use, even with their large size

 I had no problem getting a good stamped 

image every time.

For my first background -

Using silver mirror card, I pounced over it with

 alcohol inks, let it dry. Then stamped with 

Versamark the metal background stamp

 and sprinkled over heat and bond embossing

 powder and heated. This makes it sticky. Then 

I applied gilding flakes over and brushed away

 excess. 

I'm really pleased with this as

 it was an experiment for me.

My next background was simple -

Ink up stamp with two distress inks spray

 with water lightly and stamp onto watercolour

 card. I did try with more water but as it 

blurred more this wasn't for this project.

I wanted the stamp pattern pronounced.

The last background again easy.

 A resist technique.

Stamp with tea eye distress ink, heat emboss

 with clear powder. Colour all over with 

Distress inks and rub over with kitchen roll.

All three backgrounds shown here.

Taking a journal page I covered with torn pieces

 of brown paper packaging. Stencilled Cogs 

with silver ink and randomly stamped with script stamp.

Glue stamped backgrounds to journal page. 

Stamp Balloon image and colour with 

water colour Pencils. Trim, edge with Distress ink. 

Make a panel using strips of card from trimming

 backgrounds. Glue wording to this strip. 

Wording from Kaisercraft paper pad, stamp

 and colour a couple small balloons cut 

out and glue to page to finish.

Those pages are so nice, love the 

first one with the gilding flakes!
And I love that finished album page,
wow, amazing!!
