DLP Week 20

Use a stamp in an unusual way. 

I started by adding dressmaking paper to the page. 


I added a little paint and some stamping. 


More stamping and some white to knock it back. 


I then added some haberdashery stamps, once stamped I quickly rubbed over them to blend them into the background. 


I added some painty lines using an old credit card along the top and bottom edges, once dry I added the black and white dots. 



I then added the dress form, inked in black and then clear embossing powder added. 


I made some paper pulp and used it to create some paper casts of stamps. Once dry I painted it and highlighted it with Treasure gold, then glued it over the dress form. 

See how I make my papercasts HERE...


Finally I printed this quote onto tissue paper and glued it down. This is a great way to add text that is too fiddly to cut out, as once glued the tissue paper almost disappears. 


You can just to say see the white of the tissue, this is easily blended in by adding a little paint just with a fingertip.
