So - remember those gingko leaves? The beautiful gold and green ones that I did not manage to use until they were completely dried out? I traced them onto some craft foam, cut them out and glued them to cardboard to make my own stamp.
I painted the stamp with gold Lumiere and pressed it onto the piece (since I couldn't find my breyer - but I know where it is now). Then I did the same with pewter Lumiere, but only painted a few select leaves. This is the result. The next step will be to free-motion some black crystal organza over the whole piece and then melt some of it away. I've got some lavender cheesecloth, which I'd like to add to the piece, and I'm trying to decide if I should add it underneath the organza, or wait until later. I'm a little nervous to add too much purple back in at this point, but my head is telling me to do it, so maybe I will. I guess you'll just have to stay tuned!

It's looking wonderful so far. You do all the things I WANT to do and never get to - like cutting my own stamps. And working with bottlecaps.
Well, I spose I do some things you'd like too. *S*....who knows?
Only so much time in the universe.
It's coming along quite nicely!! :)
This is so pretty Michelle I really love what you're doing with it and can't wait to see what happens next.
