Stamps are incredibly versatile and can be used in so many different ways - you know that, you're a crafter too! So for this week's Creative Expressions DT project I thought I might take the current DT stamp set (the fabulous Bon Voyage) and use them in a different way. Ange Lee gave me the idea and kindly said I could use her inspirational idea here - Ange, I thank you and hope I've done your incredible project justice!
Close up the red looks pinky - they are red I promise!
I cut out 7 red and 7 green triangles and stamped the Eiffel Tower stamp on each using Jet Black Archival Ink. I edged them all in Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then curled them round a very thick handled paintbrush. I then glued them together. I stamped out the fleur de lys stamp on both red and green card and cut them out. I very lightly misted some gold Cosmic Shimmer Mist over the top and adhered the ribbon and fleur de lys. I hope the pictures show how effective it looks and in festive colours it's a great Christmas ornament! Thank you for stopping by!
