Question......What is blue and white?
Answer.........My Skinnie (5x3)!
Now for some odd reason I don't seem to have much in the way of blue colours in ink....can't think why as I do like blue!....I used Adirondack dimensional acrylic straight from the bottle to write with and stamped the Crafty Individuals door onto some pearlescent turquoise card.
Now if you look closely you will notice that the background is one of the
T!m embossing folders swiped with some DI Faded Jeans.......however it does not show up well because....urm.....
...I think I've taken leave of my senses as I don't own an embossing machine or die cutter!!!
I did read somewhere once that you could use a rolling pin to achieve the embossing effect so gave it a go..........You'll laugh at this honest you will
.......picture me as I tried and tried to get enough weight behind the rolling pin but not succeeding much
.....so I put the folder on the floor and actually put my whole weight on the rolling pin by standing on it!!!!!! LOL It sort of worked :)
I've now taken the decision to treat myself and get the new die machine coming soon from
T!m....'cos I can't afford to be breaking my leg any day soon!
An acrobat I was not destined to be!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for looking and happy stamping

ReplyDeleteHow ingenious is that!! Think you definately took the right decision to get a machine though for next time, lol! Can see you rolling around your craft room trying to balance on a rolling pin, how funny!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic creation sweetie, lol at your circus act... so glad to hear that you have treated yourself to a die machine.. xxxx
ReplyDeleteFantastic skinni and what troubles you go through for your Art! Could just about image you standing on a rolling pin trying to emboss this, so funny. Hope you have a lovely day. Hugs Anesha
ReplyDeleteROFL LOL it worked! but yes a machine will be a little easier not as much fun for the rest of us maybe but its risky doing it your way without the proper safty equipment!

ReplyDeleteGreat Skinni. Positive make and very telling. The door is there to be opened!
ReplyDeleterofl can just imagine you standing on a rolling pin - a new die cut machine sounds a much better plan!! lol could you have rubbed a paper stump over it like metal?

Thank you for joining us xx
Ohh thats so tactile and so magical.

Your must must must have an embossing/die cutting machine, they're the best thing since sliced bread, especially now there's all these lovely new TH goodies to use with them.
ReplyDeleteYou got a good impression with your rolling pin though!!!
Gorgeous little card.
Hugs Lisax
Oh wonderful I just love that door! I've had my eye on that stamp for ages but seeing what you have done with it makes me want to have it even more LOL! Kim
ReplyDeleteI can so imagine this lol and I am so happy your going to get a Die Machine but which one? I know Tim is bringing a new electric one that looks like a suit case looks like fun! I have a CB and they work great for Embossing so although I know I will love Tims new one I will have to be good and stay well cear of that little number ha ha.
ReplyDeleteFinally getting to yr project yummy and it was worth the effort so glad you didn't do a back flip over the rolling pin (the things we do for out art lol)
Love Dawn xx
