Hi there again! This post is pre-scheduled as I'm away this week
sorting out my daughter's university belongings after 4 long years.
Yup she is all done now - time flies!! Anyway I am up on the
7 Dots Studio Blog today with this project...
I used the AMAZING "All I Ever" Collection from 7 Dots Studio HERE.
I.LOVE.THIS.COLLECTION - the colours & designs are SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
& it is not new! It is an older collection but 7 Dots Papers are TIMELESS!!
I used ONLY the 12inch sticker sheet {not ALL of it!!!}
Awesome right?!?
I used a Leafy Summer Stem from 2 Crafty here as well - just pushed it face first
into my black archival ink pad from Ranger & that was the result. Cool I think!
Then sprayed it with my fave Prima Color Bloom spray - Lime Wedge -
for a touch of green...
I started by masking some bricks using Soft Gloss Gel by Finnabair for Prima.
This stuff is seriously AMAZEBALLS! It has an awesome sheen that gives
your projects a really professional finish.
I sprinkled 2 colours of embossing powder into the wet gel before drying it off
THEN did my misting so itran between the bricks.
MUCH better for directing those drips...
I also used the text stamp from Cold Country Collection.
The 7 Dots Stamps are another MAJOR MUST HAVE & so versatile!!
To help the stickers stand out I inked up the edges with my Ingvild Bolme chalk inks.
These are my favourite inks due to their ergonomic design. Pure Genius.
Plus they are really wet & ink filled so last a very long time.
I almost always raise up my photos & elements using foam tape that I buy on a
HUGE roll. It is quite pricey here in South Africa but it lasts me a long time.
I used the text stamp on my Prima flowers too, as well as a text flair from UmWow
Studios. Underneath my photo I used some metallic thread I buy locally.
It is the perfect weight for making lovely loops.
The theme is "Warm & Cosy"this month.
