Rusty Suitcase Version 2

Here's an altered suitcase class which ran last month.

It's got all my favourite colours and stamping and I had some fun stamping adventures along the way... I wrote down steps so you can try too!

Stamping Adventure 1: Fuzzy Background print

1.  Stamp with Archival ink on the back of a Hambly Screen Print (the slightly shimmery kind)
2. and after waiting a while, buff it off with a dry tissue.
- the image will become fainter and fuzzy plus all the excess ink gives the whole paper a brownish tinge.

Stamping Adventure 2: Embossing + Gesso

 

1. Emboss images on the surface with gold embossing ink.
2. Paint a thin layer of white gesso over everything
3. Use a cloth to rub off the gesso so the images show through
4. Stain everything with Distress ink

A big thank you to all who attended the Rusty Suitcase Version 2 class!  I am really glad to hear so many of you had fun (despite all the stamping and 'scrubbing' we had to do).
