I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to play with the new Gilded Life charms and bezels for Alpha Stamps. There is a list of supplies from Alpha Stamps here.
The hutch is covered with Tim Holtz tissue tape and then a layer of silver gilders paste. I liked the way I could easily manipulate and apply the tape to the different surfaces. It made for a quick covering of the base.
It is hard to see, but the inside of the shrine is layered with blue mica flakes. I popped the focal heart out with a few scrabble tiles so it has the illusion that it is floating in the box.
I used images from Alpha Stamps Butterfly Collage Sheet along with lots of metal staples from Graphic 45.
To alter this focal I started off with Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap and added my images. I also altered the metal with Vintaj Patinas and then some stickles too. You can also see how I added silver gilders paste to the different metal pieces to help them to look cohesive.
I just adore how this turned out. One of my favorite pieces in a long time. I hope you enjoyed as well!
Cheers,
Rhea
