Create Your Own Happiness

| 2 min read

Good afternoon, it's time to share my new Visible Image design team inspiration. The new release of fab stamps, co-ordinating dies and stencils is going down a storm. Today I am sharing 2 of my trademark art tins made to showcase the gorgeous new Create Happiness stamp set.

Tutorial

To begin, I removed the label, measured the length and width of the tin (between the rounded end plates) and cut a piece of card. I added 1 cm onto the length of a piece of card for a small overlap.

Next I repeat stamped the flower along the edges.

step 1

I also stamped the flower in the centre and the sentiment on each side as shown below. I used these distress inks:

step 2

and the fragments stencil to then add colour over the images. I avoided the flowers but you don't need to be too precise as the flowers either get coloured or decoupaged.

step 3

step 4

Next I used these distress water colour pencils to colour the blooms.

step 5

and added some extra stamping using the collage stamp in the set.

step 6

I stamped 2 flowers onto book pages and die cut them out.

step 7

I also stamped the flower twice more on white card and die cut out the centres using the 2nd die in the set. I removed these centres and coloured them with pencils and added stuck them onto the book page flowers with foam tape to add some dimension.

step 8

I then adhered the labels to my tins.
