BGC#53 - Stamping (On fabric) and misting with PJ

Hello my dear friends !

I just got back from my 3 week vacation and i'm feeling refreshed !

Meanwhile the girls here at BGC were busy creating some really good projects for you 

according to the challenge theme thats been running all JUNE ! 

BGC#53-stamping-misting-challenge

So now u know the rules but let me just repeat theme again 

challenge guidelines: 

Challenge duration- 1st june to 30th june (Full Month)

• Make any project that fits into the 3 categories below

1. Cards ONLY

2. Layouts ONLY

3. Everything else - 3D crafts, Popup boxes , Altered art , mixed media , Canvas , Hangings etc. Anything paper crafts.

• You must have visible Misting on the face of your project - Any kind of misting will do for example - Using mists like Lindy's stamp gang or color bloom by prima etc,  Making a splatter with a paint brush , Using a tooth brush with water colors to create a nice misting on your project. 
• Your project must show Stamping on Fabric !  Its time to pick and experiment with any type of fabric and see how your stamps work on them. !

Simple enough !

Please note that we reserve rights to disqualify any entry that doesn't follow the rules .

Thank you. 

Ok with all that understood ! Lets move on to my project. 

I went for 3. Everything else category 

And altered a medicine box.  

This is how the box looked before.  

And this is how it turned out ! 

•  I started by pasting some text scripted paper on the sides of the box. 

Which you can see perfectly in the above picture. 

• I then made a mixture of 1 part white glue with 1/2 part water and mixed it well .
• I used this mixture for sticking tissue on the top of my box. This gave me some real good texture to play with. 
• After all the tissue sticking i let it dry for about 2hrs . 
• Once dry i misted my textured surface with mists . (Lindy's stamp gang and cosmic shimmer.) That gave me my background to work on.

•  I then used this nice and slightly shimmery fabric piece in rectangle to stamp my sentiment. Here is a TIP- when working with loosely woven fabrics like what i used ,keep a crisp piece of paper underneath before you stamp. This should give you a good image. 
• The fabric piece looks a little lifted due to the texture beneath it. It is stuck in place with Glue dots as foam dots would have showed from underneath. 

•  I then embellished my box with flowers , die cuts , distressed mesh cloth ,and some metal embellishments.

Here is a closer look at the flowers !

I made all of them myself except the peach and the baby pink rose . 

Hope that you enjoyed my post and you are inspired to join us in this challenge . 

If so then just pick a category and jump in !!

BGC#53 - Stamping and misting

Hello again, our dear followers!

How are you? Are you planning shorter or longer holidays with your families already? I am and I'm waiting for it impatiently. :-)

As you know, our current challenge - Stamping (on fabric) & Misting is lasting the whole June and there is still a plenty of time to play along! So choose what sort of the project are you interested in, create it and show us! We will be delightful to see it!

A few word about the challenge guidelines:

• Create a project that fits to one of the category: cards only, layouts only, everything else (that means 3D projects, pop-up boxes, altered art, mixed media, canvas, hangings, etc.) and enter it to the proper one.
• Remember, that you must have visible misting on the surface of the project - the way you will do it depends on you only.
• Show us visible stamping on your project - try stamping on any kind of the fabric to find out how does it work! 

Please, enter your card, layout or another project using the one of the links here!

We have amazing prizes for each category of the projects! 

Now is time to show my inspiration for you. I prepared a birthday card in blue and brown. A waved ribbon is misted and stamped - I hope you can see it. The colour is more intensive now and I really like that effect!

A sentiment is hidden inside.It says: 'On your birthday'

I've used: the newest collection of papers, laces and ribbons from Lemoncraft, butterfly  Vintage Line,
Distress Ink - Vintage photo by Ranger, black pigment ink - Latarnia Morska, clear stamp - Swiat Stempli, self-adhesive crystals.

Have a nice day!

BGC#53 Stamping & Misting challenge! Zubmomi

Hello everyone! Hope you are enjoying the beautiful inspirations by our DT.

Today is my turn to invite you for this  month's  challenge.Our lovely designer Bipasha has challenged us with an interesting and innovatig theme:

  "Stamping(on fabric) & Misting"

Without further ado let me go through the challenge guidelines: 

Challenge duration- 1st June to 30th June (Full Month)

• Make any project that fits into the 3 categories below

1. Cards ONLY

2. Layouts ONLY

3. Everything else - 3D crafts, Popup boxes , Altered art , mixed media , Canvas , Hangings etc. Anything paper crafts.

• Your project must show Stamping on Fabric !  Its time to pick and experiment with any type of fabric and see how your stamps work on them. !

Simple enough !

For my take on the challenge, I decided to go with the first category and made an easel card.

I wanted to do the stamping on the canvas fabric but instead used this curtain material which was very close to canvas. I stamped the image from IndigoBlu with Black StazOn ink. 

Then, I glued the fabric with fabric adhesive spray and did misting on handmade flowers and butterflies.

The sentiment is from Lavinia stamps.

Closeup of the fabric:

Hope you like this card so do join in the fun and link your projects here:

Take care :)
