CRUSADE No. 18 ~ Cut It Out



Een aantal jaar geleden kreeg ik een guts om zelf stempels te maken. Ik heb toen wel wat gemaakt maar heb ze nooit durven laten zien. Deze eerstelingen blijven in de kast, maar met het resultaat van mijn tweede poging heb ik nu een liefdesverhouding :)
A few years back a friend gave me a carving tool. I carved some stamps and never had the courage to show these to anyone. These first ones will stay a secret, but I fell in love today with the result of my second try :)

Ik heb genoeg gummetjes en andere blokken om verder aan het gutsen te gaan. Nu ik mijn guts weer heb opgedoken, ben ik dat toch wel zeker van plan.
I do have enough erasers and other blocks to carve. Now I've digged out my carving tool I sure want to make some more stamps.



Het ei is uitgekomen op een atc:

Op het ei heb ik wat iridescent medium aangebracht.

OMG! Dymphie - this is a terrific image, a cracked egg! You are so clever! LOVE IT. Thanks for the side view where we can see the iridescent color. Love the whole piece with the grass too. Thanks for sharing with the Street Team - you are motivating us to THINK about what images to create as "go with" stamps. This so ROCKS!!
