I was lucky enough to get some serious crafting time in on Saturday afternoon- I had been creating in half hour bites all week, and found I had barely got all of my stuff out before it was time to put it away again! By Saturday, I *needed* to stamp, so I completely ignored the housework and the husband, and got inky! This piece was created for the Sunday challenge over at UK Stampers, and was really about a) using my gorgeous new stamp from Elusive Images, and b) trying out some techniques I have just been reading about in an amazing book I borrowed from the library, called 'Paper, Metal, and Stitch'. I think I may need to buy this book once I have returned it, as there is enough inspiration inside to keep me going for ages!Panel 1
Colour: Glimmer Mist (Peach Delight and Black Cherry), Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick), Versafine
Other: White cardstock base, pattern created with PVA rubbed over with gilt wax when dry.
Panel 2

Stamps: Notre Dame from Elusive Images, words and swirl from Paperartsy.
The whole piece is 6" x 6" square, conveniently the Notre Dame stamp is 1 1/2" wide. I promise I will clean the lens of my camera before I take another picture- the soft-focus effect wasn't intentional LOL!

Love your panels. I'm going to watch out for that book. It might appear on my santa list! I envy you the stamps too and this piece showcases them very stylishly.

Have njust ordered that book for my library - looks gorgeous. Great panel and using the inside of a coke can....inspired!! have never thought of that before, even better than going in the recycling bin. Will have to have words with hubby as not sure I could cut it with my hands.
Gorgeous! I love the panels, the textures, the colors, and, well, just everything about it. :)
this is fantastic..think I will start having to drink from cans..beer not coke!! I have got paper, metal and stitch and can now see the influences (try getting it from the book depository as they offer free postage).
Stunning! I have that book and it is really inspirational.
well I am positively drooling.. I love "LOVE" this
