my third proud piece as visiting artist for gingersnap, it's a wrap!!

Well hey the bloggers,
Here I am again with my third and sadly penultimate piece as visiting artist for
gingersnap creations.This time the challenge was to use some favourite papers, if you stop by here often you will realise my favourite is White,that I can colour myself...but my new found all time fab favourite has to be the one and only Tim's tissue wrap. it is amazing!!!I love love love it!!! So here is my piece a fully functioning pen box:
I started with a blank pen/pencil box which I painted with neutral paint and then covered using fab tissue wrap...this stuff is so fab and so versatile, love it!!!So I covered the pencil box in multi medium and applied pre cut pieces of tissue wrap to cover sides, back, base top etc I then set aside to give the multi medium plenty of time to dry.
Once dry I stamped stampotique splatter randomly using black soot DI.
The flower was made by covering grungepaper in tissue wrap, stamping out flower from The Artistic Stamper flower forms set, inking with black soot and pumice distress inks, I then shaped and dipped into wax in my melt pot, when dry I then spritzed with perfect pearls, and blasted with my heat gun...this catches some of the mica in the wax,then leave to cool.To finish the flower I added a fab idea-ology Tim button, a new pressie from Santa!
The letters are grungeboard, inked and spritzed. I added some pens nibs, a little Tim bottle , which I added a few drops of black alcohol ink into, and a type charm with some old book text in.

Hope you like what I have done with my favourite paper, make sure you pop over to gingersnap creations to see the fab DT work and why not pop an entry in yourselves!
