Ready for a Hop?
This month the theme was really challenging for me because I've never done it - Stamping on Fabric. I did some research and found some great videos on youtube. I even found one of Mischelle's videos. The set I used is He Created Spring a Mabelle RO set and I "fabric-pieced" her dress.
The fabric I used is actually a 100% cotton bandana I found in the craft section at WalMart for a $1. I was having a hard time finding muslin...well not that I was looking that hard. Turns out the WalMart I stopped at on my way home from work did not sell fabric. {sigh} Oh well. This bandana did OK and it was only $1.
Palette inks work great if you are using solid stamp images or coloring with watercolor pencil. I wanted to try Copics - so I used Mementos black ink and heat set it. I colored very lightly staying away from the lines a bit so the ink did not bleed past the line, then heat set to further prevent bleeding. This technique worked pretty well. It took me several trys - only 10.
Supplies -- Stamps: He Created Spring, These are the Days (Happy Birthday), Papers: Raspberry Splash, Strawberry Splash, Caboodles Copic Cardstock, Copics [RV21, RV29, YR21, YR23, YR24, E21, E13], Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, VersaMark ink, Nestabilities #17 die.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!
Abundant Blessings,
