~ A Little Peek ~
April 13th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning, girls 🙂
I have to admit… I thought Lynn had gone a little *mad* when I saw this morning’s TLC.  Stamping on metal???  A pop can??  What?? Ok, so I went along with it.   Now after I am done, I have to say, it was definitely a challenge, but thought provoking and fun, too!
It was not without experimentation, though. Â I found that stamping on a pop can is not as easy as 1-2-3. Â First, you have to give your image plenty of time to set (dry). Â Copics don’t work all that well. Â Â Shimmerz just run. Â BUT, it goes through the Wizard nicely and even embosses nicely.
So, here is what I did:
I used my label 4 nesties to cut out a shape from the pop can.   I stamped the genie bottle onto the pop can and let it set awhile, before coloring it with markers.  I am not totally pleased with that part, but heck, that’s why they call it a challenge, right? 🙂
These images are part of a new set coming April 15th from Artful Inkables, called Three Wishes. Â You will get to see more of this set over the next couple days. Â I know Kristin is going to be posting some sneak peeks of the FOUR new sets coming, on her blog.
Here are my deets:
Stamps:Â Artful Inkables‘ Three Wishes
Colors: Basic Gray, Pacific Point, Certainly Celery, GP White, certainly celery dp
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: silver 1/2 pearls, silver cord, ribbon, MS border punch, label 4 nesties, word window punch, hole punch, dimensionals, scissors, shimmerz
