Something a Bit Different

Hi everyone Dee here with Andy's new stamps they are fabulous I am loving playing with them.

I have done something a bit different with them in that I have most probably taken 

the concept mixed media to a whole new realm. 

I am quite pleased with the results it is a mix of home made tissue paper
embossing enamel, texture sand paste, gauze/modrock and chalk paints
Oil crayons were used as well, all melted together with
hot beeswax.

In these photo's you can see the colours below and if you look carefully 

at the frog skeleton you can just make out the embossing

 below the wax on the bottom right.

The beauty of wax is you can see the layers below which is what I

love about it. 

A close up you can see a hint of the text below against the lovely 

textured sand 

This one is a piece I did for the Stampendous catalog using

 this method for when Andy his Birds and bones set 

was released

That's it for today thank you for taking the time to stop by

Cheers Dee.
