There's a new challenge at Technique Tuesday.  This month we are stamping – yippee yay!  A new technique for me to learn and, of course, I love it!  I have something a wee bit different to show you today and, shock horror lol, it’s not a card or a tag! 
In fact I’m not 100% sure what I am going to make with my wee creation and as there’s no hurry so I will ponder on it for a while!
So please do pop over to the challenge to see what it is all about and to also see what my fabulous and talented crew mates have created too!

A final look.

I’m not sure if it is going to be a topper; a brooch; or a dangly key ring.  Anyone else got any ideas what I can do with it?  It’s made of Stampbord. 

I had a real thing for Chipboard and ‘Stampbord’ for a long while and bought lots.  I put them in the crafty cupboard and only recently taken out to play with.  Along with my inks and stamps lol.

I have used three stamps on this piece and have detailed my order of working below. 
You need to pop over to the blog to see the in-depth and very easy tutorial http://mynnettestechniquetuesday.blogspot.co.uk/.
My order of working:

1. Ink tile edges with the palest blue ink, dry;

2. stamp flourish darker blue, dry;

3. stamp fairies brown,  dry;

4. follow the rest of the tutorial at Technique Time Tuesday!

 

Warning: I found out that if you hold your heat tool too close to the Stampbord it will bubble up and pop lol.  Thankfully I was able to hide, errm no, I was able to fix my mistake!

I hope you will come and play with us this month!  It’s a fabulous technique and I am having fun playing with my embossing powders and my UTEE plus a new technique.  You don’t have to have UTEE to do this technique – I have, errm, a rather large stash of UTEE that I am trying to make a dent in!

I won’t be around much this week my usual issue has flared again which  means little crafty play and minimal time on the computer – ho hum just another day in the life of a fibromyalgia sufferer!
I hope you are all well and get time to play with your stash this week.  I have another post scheduled for tomorrow – another DT project and I hope to do a little bit of visiting and commenting on your lovely blogs too.
