Multi Frame

It was a lovely surprise to find that Claire, whom I had just met at stamp magic, was our Guest Designer.
I love the freshness of her Darcy stamping, the understated colours and her crackle contrast,

I decided to have a go. I stamped onto a journal page with black archival and just arranged the stamps on the page.
Next I washed over with PA fresco, Hey Pesto, Mermaid, Limelight and Chartreuse randomly.
I used the same paints to fill in the images and a tiny touch of white pen.
As I didn't have a frame I made some crackly washi tape using masking tape and crackle glaze. i cut it down the centre to make the frames in proportion to the stamped images. I like the contrast between the crisp images and the rustic washi tape.
Thanks Claire for the inspiration and very well done!

  1. What a super idea to translate the 3D box into a 2D page for the same effect! Darcy's bird on the fence never fails to raise a smile... I guess I will have to buy him some time soon!

  10. Delicious fresh springtime greens, and the washi makes a great framing device.
