Movie Star

The new inchie challenge theme on Inchy by Inch is Stars.

This is probably not what Fiona had in mind, but I have been inching, I mean itching to use this stamp from Paper Artsy on another project.


The base is an inch square of white mountboard, stamped with the words from the rubber stamp (Movie Star). The base was edged with black ink & then covered in a piece of acetate coloured with alcohol inks.

The embellishments were made from shrink plastic (using the same stamp), edged with my Krylon 18ct gold leafing pen for that little bit of glitz & glam. I punched a hole & set an eyelet using my crop-a-dile. I attached the star word using gold metallic thread.


I love the dimensionality of this piece & the touch of turquoise.

Autumn Word Book

Well this project started & progressed without a plan of how or what it would become. It finished up as a word book of Autumn memories.


I have used papers from the Shabby Princess Shabby Fall range.



The backgrounds were created using Distress Inks.



The book is 6cm in height & 17cm in length (when closed).



I love the final project & the creative process along the way.
