Ready Steady Stamp



There's a new challenge called Ready Steady Stamp here. It involves a list of ingredients that you need to use to create your art. It's a little bit of fun. I've never tried this sort of challenge before and I nearly didn't when I saw the technique chosen was faux batik! But hey ho nothing ventured and all that and after all it is meant to be a CHALLENGE. So armed with my iron (wow never thought I would be ironing in my crafting) I had a go , not very sucessfully to begin with. Luckily there's a video that explains how to faux batik and eventually after lots of papers stuck together I managed to produce something half decent. The theme was cat or dog and as I don't have any cat/dog stamps I used a foam shape. Not sure how often I would use this technique but I loved how the flourish turned out.

So if I can do it why don't you?

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy your crafting
