if i had wings..

well they say crafters are the kindest people and they truly are , thanks for all your kind comments I will keep you posted..so today is time for a new creative expressions dt make and this time we were lucky enough to be spoilt with some of the fab new singles stamp range, stamps to die for and a mask. So for this make I have used the fab steampunk dress form, which comes as a single mounted stamp and also a new mechanical mask.

I know this will come as a shock but I made a card, I know quite shocked myself! ( see here later as I have also made something else using this fab stamp) so here is my make :

I started by creating my background using pumice stone, weathered wood, stormy skies and black soot distress ink through the fab mechanical mask, moving it slightly and then adding each colour. I then lightly blended over the whole piece with pumice stone distress ink to slightly soften the edges.

To complete the background I inked up this great chicken wire stamp in black soot and added in random patches.

The main image, this great steampunk dress form was stamped in black archival and cut out. I also stamped just the wings in black archival and cut out, adding half a wing to each corner with an idea-ology spinner.

To complete the card I added some more idea-olgy in the form of cogs and fab film strip .

The sentiment was stamped from the art sayings set, full of wonderful and versatile sayings.

Well make sure you check out the other Dt blogs for more single stamps inspiration..there are lots of great ones to choose from and the whole range can be found here.
