...Over on the Play Date Cafe challenge blog there is a new theme this week....to use Black, White, Silver and Gold....
Oh how totally perfect for me...my fave colour combo's! I could have made several things for this challenge...but I have yet to make my Sunday Stamper entry for tomorrow so I had to do everything on one piece :O))
I used a Maya Road chipboard base and covered it with a layer of Claudine Hellmuth's Blank Canvas paint...dried this off with the heatgun and then popped some Terra on top. I used a couple of background stamps from The Artistic Stamper, including the new Sequin Waste stamp...which is now my favest ever *see how quickly my faves change and then change again?* I used the heatgun to dry the Terra...and this bubbles it up in places which gives a great textured base to then play with paints. Painting over the Terra with more Blank Canvas and then using Silver and Gold Dabbers to emphasise the bumps and textures.
The roses are made using the Flower Power plate, medium sized flower, stamped onto Claudine's Sticky Back Canvas...I painted this with a couple of layers of Blank Canvas and then used a StaZon to stamp the flower. One of the roses had the Houndstooth and the other had the Dotty backgrounds ... again from The Artistic Stamper. I backed the canvas onto Rock Star black Ten Second Studio metal...this doesn't show up as well as I would have liked...think I need to try this method again and perfect it LOL The birdy is a Maya Road shape, as is the message mat, stamped with background stamps and then a Studio 490 sentiment. I added in a few scrolls .. yep, Maya Road again...and some black pearly things to finish it off.
I loved making this...fave colours, fave products and ...Mojo restored! I can now go and make something for tomorrow...thanks for looking...have a great day...I am off to get inky and messy and see what I can come up with for the new Sunday Stamper tomorrow...please check back in the morning to see what the new theme is :O))

Don't think I said congrats on making the front cover of Craft STamper! Superb piece, looks fantastic :)
Gorgeous. I looked all over for the sequin waste stamp but couldn't find it. Probably would cost me an arm and a leg to get it here but I wanted to look at it and drool a bit. Excuse I need to go change. My shirt is wet after admiring this piece.
YES YES YES!!! Picking jaw up of cold floor, tounge sticking to some goop, at a loss for more words, this ROCKZ!!!
