Viva Las Vegastamps! used:
Tree Background
Steampunk Swan Ship
Life is Beautiful
I stamped my Steampunk Swan Ship image onto a piece of Delight clay that was left over from another project. It was about 1/8 of an inch thick and already dried. I cut the image out with a pair of scissors and colored it with my Promarkers.
I stamped the Trees background onto the black cardstock with Brilliance Starlight Silver and cut it out. I cut out small areas for the background to show through. (Sorry for the blurred image-that's my camera, not the stamped image!).
Turning to the matte board, I covered about 2/3 of it with a piece of Scrapbook paper.
Then I glued the trees over the background.
After mixing the Terri Sproul Mixer with the 3D lacquer, I painted the remaining portion of the matte board with a thin layer. It dries almost instantly, so then I picked up a very small amount of Antique White acrylic paint and dabbed online the bottom of the trees. Using a bit more paint, I spread it across the board to simulate icy water, leaving a darker area to imply depths.
I applied 3D foam dots to the Swan ship and stuck it onto the matte board.
I discovered something in this process. Originally, I stamped 'Life is Beautiful' with the Silver Starlight ink over the Terri Sproul Mixer. To my surprise, I got a holographic effect. If you held the matte board one way, you would see the text, but if you moved it even slightly, the text disappeared. It was rather cool!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get the text to scan or get it with my camera, so I stamped the text onto some left over Delight and painted over the holographic text. One of these days though, I'm going to play with that technique.
