Hi my dear Viva Las Vegastamps! Friends!
It's
Susanne here and I have a tutorial for this Artist Trading Block (ATB)
for you. I cut the base of the ATB with the Silhouette Cameo. Of course
you don't need an e-cutter. You'll find free templates for a cube online
or you can use a cutting die.
Here are my instructions:
1. Step: Stamp the
Dictionary Page background randomly onto the cube blank.
2. Step: Add a thin layer of gesso on top.
3.
Step: Use the Gelato (Cotton Candy) to add some color. Instead of the
Gelatos you can also use other watercolor crayons. A plus of the Gelatos
is, that you can blend them easily with your fingers.
5: Step: Take the white Gelato in this step to give the background some more contrast.
6. Step: Now it's time for some structure. I used modeling paste together with a crackle stencil.
7. Step: When the texture paste is dry you can build up the ATB base.
8. Step: Stamp the
The Fish in Mini Skirt and the
Fat Fish in Heels
and cut them out. Add some Twinklings H2O for a shimmery effect
(alternatively you can use other shimmery colors). Adhere a wooden spear
to the fishes with hot glue. I colored the spears with Viva Decor Inka
Gold. Before you add the fishes to the block, cover the whole top with
Gel Medium and glitter.
9.
Step: Add glitter to the edges as well. I used chipboard die cutted
numbers and letters for the embellishing. The chipboard is painted with
different colors of Viva Decor Inka Gold and stamped with the
Be adorable stamp to add some texture. Some more embellishments are the
Pylon and the
One Way Small . Use some silver tinsel to finish it up.
See you soon and happy crafting, Susanne.
