Welcome Back
October’s theme for the Virtual Crafting Challenge has been ‘Lots of Layers’. I have a few medallion stamps but haven’t really done much with them. I had made a Jacob’s Ladder for MIL’s birthday and created a gift box for it to go in, so decided that a medallion would be a good way to finish off the gift box.
Here is the finished piece;
I used the Heart Lace stamp from Creative Expressions and Versafine Onyx Black ink. I coloured the image using Emboss Dual Pens by Tsukineko in colours #36 Lavender, #35 Wisteria and #7 Pansy. The mat areas are just coloured in, the gloss areas had a layer of clear embossing powder applied over the ink whilst it was still wet and then heated. The ribbon in the centre is to act as a pull to easily open the gift box.

What a beautiful idea and what a nice gift!
I was planning to do something in line of the ‘layer’ theme, but I don’t think I will finish it in October. – Or maybe, if I start today….
Thanks for the nice comment. The main idea of this challenge is to get you trying new things. Don’t feel bad if you can’t do this with in the month.
I still want to do Polymer Clay and the theme for that was earlier in the year!

Finally I finished the “book” I wanted to do:

- I’m looking forward to see your Polymer Clay work! I thought about doing some plastic work since I first saw a coptic bound book with covers from Polymer Clay, but have no real plan yet.
