Angel Christmas Ornament

I have a Christmas ornament to share with you today.  I used the small version of Butterfly Kiss by The Stampsmith.  I found these cute charms recently and I hand crimped additional extender rings to them and attached them to the ornate diecut.  I used three diecuts, one rotated green layer sandwiched between two cream layers.  I added some pearl embellies to go with the pearl charms and tied a matching green ribbon to the top for hanging.

Victorian Easter Egg

I had fun making Easter Eggs with my girls the other day. We used the plastic eggs that you break open and fill with smaller chocolate eggs or Easter goodies.  We brushed them with Decoupage (sealer-glue-finish) and covered them with small pieces of tissue paper, reapplying more Decoupage, as needed.   I used my heat tool to make sure the egg was completely dry and then we each decorated them.

I chose to make a Victorian looking egg, using the sweet little angel girl, called Butterfly Kiss by The Stampsmith as the main focal image for my egg.  I stamped her onto to Copic paper and then crinkled the paper all up so that it would more easily form to the egg.   I stamped text onto tissue paper and then decoupaged it on.  I distressed the entire egg with Tea Dye Distress ink.  I free-handed the pearl flourish along the side, then applied a strip of pretty lace around the entire egg and bronze embellishments at the top and the bottom, finishing with a little polka dot bow at the top.  I used the small Butterfly Kiss stamp, but it also comes in a large version, as well.

Butterfly Kisses

I made this 12" x 12" wall art tonight got my little 'Mutchkin' who had an accident today at daycare.   Thought she could use some cheering up, so some 'butterfly kisses' from Mom for a speedy recovery were the doctor's orders.

For the main focal image, I used the adorable Butterfly Kiss photostamp by The Stampsmith. This stamp comes in a couple different sizes, I used the large size (2.75" x 4").  This stamp also comes in a small size (1.25" x 2") which is great for smaller projects, as well.

For now, this is is just mounted on a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock, but sometimes, it's fun to frame your art work, too, or you can apply it to a canvas frame for a more artsy look.  Just have fun with it!

A Butterfly Kiss

I make a return visit to Butterfly Kiss, a stamp I used at the beginning of my term as a DT member for The Stampsmith. Butterfly Kiss comes in various sizes, this is the large size and it is that, a very generous size stamp. It is a lovely image to use shimmer paints, painting her wings and the flowers.
