Butterfly Pendant.

I saw on Sally's blog the other day

a Pendant she had made using Stampbord.

I had never heard of this and enquired from Sally what it was.

Sally explained and kindly offered to send a couple of pieces

for  me to have a play with (aren't blogging Pals the best!!)

In between time I had a look on  the World Wide Web.

I found loads of videos and once I'd seen the product in use

I was smitten!!!!

Here is my first pendant using one of the pieces Sally sent me.

Sally also enclosed a bail and chord for me. Yay!!

 

It comes in various sizes and in it's raw state

looks like this.

It is made with a clay-coated smooth absorbent surface

which allows you to stamp just about anything onto it.

 

I used D.I.'s in 3 different shades of blue to create the background.

I then stamped the butterfly from fFutters 2 set  by Inkylicious

on top with Memento  Tuxedo black.

I waited for  this to dry (a matter of minutes)

and then inked up with SU  Wisteria Wonder.

Once this had dried I etched and scratched the pattern on the stamp

back into the surface.

I used Coral Calypso and then Crushed  Curry  to build up the colour

scratching back to the previous  layer each time.

 



Finally I went over the edges of the stampboard with a gold metallic pen

and sealed the surface using Spray and Shine Gloss varnish.

 

It's the second week of my Butterfly challenge .
