anyone for domino's? - inspired by Brenda
well this is another make that has been sat patiently waiting to be blogged and this piece was inspired by the lovely Brenda , whose wonderful blog can be found here . It is full of lots of yummy creations , so make sure you take a look! So here is my domino book , inspired by the lovely Brenda:
Well it had to be brown and have cogs didn't it!!! So lots of pics..sorry...
I used a combination of lots of Sam Pooles stamps for Creative Expressions...vintage Inventor, Vintage treasures and Vintage Illusion...love these sets... I also used some fab Tim Holtz ones and My favourite hand and steampunk gents!
I used all my favourite inks, in yummy distress colours, Distress paints, background stamps from Creative Expressions...and Archival ink to create all the stamped layers inside..
Then on the front my favourite mini gears and some of the fab new Rub ons from Tim Holtz...loving these! Oh and a few Prima cogs that fell in my basket the other week! oops!
Thanks Brenda, I would never have tried this without your inspiration...
welcome to my new followers and thanks too everyone for all their kind comments here and on facebook, they are all truly appreciated!
This takes me right back to when I first started getting heavily into my crafting, I went through a whole year of domino alteration, not done one for ages.. so maybe you'll see a post from me soon being inspired by you!! It's an absolutely fab make, love the colours and theme choice xox
Oh Trace, love your interpretation of Brenda's domino book! Great stamping and backgrounds and I adore the cover! Is n't it funny how things sometimes fall into our basket lol?
Hi Trace, this is a fabulous make, I saw Brenda's and loved it too. Love the stamps you have used, they work so well and your treatment of the cover is gorgeous - I think you have both inspired me to have a go now too.......thank you! Hugs, Anne x

I saw Brenda's too and loved it. You have made a little beauty here Trace! It's the first time I've seen those rub ons in close up they look really good. Wonderful piece. Hugs, Juliaxx
You've certainly spread some inspiration my way! I love the way you've made this with all those lovely stamps and colours. I shall now go and check out Brenda's blog x
Wow!! That is fantastic, I love it!!! I keep meaning to make one of these myself, thanks for the inspiration. I almost forgot; thank you for following my blog.
I ever wonder how you can make such small panals... Looks so good! Love the way you used not to much stamps, but let them look different by how you used them! Hugs, Gerrina
I have the dominoes to do this but it is one of those "roundto's". LOL I just haven't gotten around to it! I adore yours though! I am feeling inspired. Hugs~Patti
Yes, I saw Brenda's and was inspired too but it'll take me a lot longer than you to complete my book. How do you manage to produce such great work so quickly, sigh..... I must be doing too much housework LOL. Margie xx
Completely and utterly fantastic, Trace - this is a mini-masterpiece! All the stamping is just wonderful, and your domino covers are delicious - totally you, totally brilliant! Alison xx
Wow this is fabulous Trace,love each and every page and such great stamping. Thanks for linking me and your lovely kind words, I am just happy that you were inspired by my little book. I also have a steampunk one in the making but it won't be seen for some time as it will be one of my workshops I think. Glad I got here eventually and found this. Hugs Brenda xox
