Ammonit Box using the new Andy Skinner Fossil stamp set and Stampendous Enamels

Hi all

Another teaser for you; a project made using Andy's fantastic new stamp range. The good news is it is being released THIS WEEKEND and when they are finally available you can get them here!

 Here is the finished project and below is a brief outline of how I created it.

I painted the box lid and base. Triple embossed the lid using Stampendous Enamels, and stamped into the lid while the enamels were still molten.

Once cooled, I used DecoArt white antiquing cream, paints and metallic lustres to give depth to the ammonite. I love it - very touchable! Hope you like it too. For a detailed step by step, have a look at my blog.
Thanks
Suz

Decoart International Design Team

Hi everyone,

Before I share the past couple of weeks stuff with you I would just like to announce the formation of the Decoart International Design Team.
The team has been put together with six very talented individuals and myself.  
For the moment the focus is on bringing you in-depth tutorials related to mixed media and altered, we already have a good few to share with you too!  They can all be found at our new home http://decoart.com/andyskinner/ along with bio's of the new design team members.
Much thought and work goes into these tutorials so I hope you enjoy them.


Last post I promised free printable clock face designs for you to download and use on my reversible clocks, these are now online and ready for download here http://www.andyskinnercrafts.com/printables.html

While I was at it I also uploaded lots of vector threshold pictures that you can use in your artwork, these can be found here http://www.andyskinnercrafts.com/threshold-printables.html

Here are a few examples.

Ok finally two pieces, the first is a steampunk version of my reversible clock using Decoart Metallic Lustres.

Andy finally my Voodoo for Dummies Book with secret draw using a threshold image transfer, got into allot of trouble with this one ;)

Thanks for reading.

Andy
