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!

have a fun and inky one!

  20. 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

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.
