Morning everyone,
It's time for a quick reminder about the Craft Stamper TIMI Challenge, our May theme is just 'Take a Stamp', so it's nice and easy.
The rules are simple, one entry per person, with a link in your post back to the Craft Stamper Blog, and your blog post must only contain the one piece you are entering. No cased entries please - your own work.
For full details see the Craft Stamper Blog HERE.
In return, we have two amazing prizes on offer as always, firstly our Design Winner , who is chosen by our DT, who all vote for their favourite designs from all of the entries. This winner will have their winning project published in Craft Stamper Magazine, (with a 2 page spread of their very own!), they will have a GDT slot for an upcoming challenge, and will also feature in their very own Winners Profile blog post!
And then we have this totally amazing prize on offer, to our completely random winner.
Our sponsor this month is: Designs By Georgina
Prize: As pictured. 3 stamp sets and 3 new release stencils.
Over on the Craft Stamper blog our team have some fab inspiration for you, here is my offering:
I made a tryptiche with Tando Creatives mini Arches, and painted them with DecoArt Media Acrylics, in Andy Skinner's Rust style, and using Andy's stamps, the steampunk set.
I painted a piece of card in the same colours, and stamped the butterfly and clock in black versafine, and clear embossed them, then cut them out. The clock was shaped to arch and cut around, to make it fit.
The skull is a Tando mini, I LOVE these! I'd put them on everything if you let me.. It's painted again, then embossed with Frantage embossing powder, in aged copper. It has some amazing texture to it.
The three little arches are held together with some mini hinges and glossy accents, but you could use ribbon or washi tape as hinges too.

I stamped on top with the steampunk words in black, to add a little more interest. And the whole thing was coated in a layer of ultra matte varnish, to make the rust more realistic and take down the shine from the embossing.
So I hope you can join in the challenge at Craft Stamper this month, and you enjoy our team's inspiration.
See you soon,
Nikki
