I loved this stamp when I saw it on Carolines Blog. Caroline had used a similar one on a card she had entered into our challenge on CD Sunday and I just had to buy this one as well as the one she had used. This is my first play with it using it stamped on 140gsm parchment paper.
After I had stamped it I embossed the tiny circles from the back, painted the almond shapes on the front using PCE No: 3 (Pergamano felt tip pen). Then on the back I scribbled with Faber Castell pencil No: 115 (Dark Cadmium Orange) and then spread it with Zest (spreading medium) to an even coat. Then I embossed the painted almond shapes from the back which makes them lighter and 'pop' out.
I just took out the wings without the feelers and body and made my own parchment body which I attached using Perga Glue. I then decorated the body with self adhesive Kanban half pearls (my favourites) to look like a segmented thorax. Then finished off with stamens (from stash) as feelers .
Hope you like it. I had fun making it and perhaps you might like to have a go - it is really very easy. The colour combinations could be endless. I want to stamp it on to rainbow parchment paper to see what effect I get.
I really really like that Carol... love the colours! Could you point me in the right direction so I can get one please! hugs. xxxx
