I have submitted to this Stampers Sampler Challenge. Since I have not heard from them I am assuming that my pieces did not make it. So, they are perfect for this.
The first one is called “A Royal Form” I made these last year and looking at it now I can see how much I have grown. I absolutely can not stand the hard edge of the collage sheet on the right hand side. I still like the overall concept though.
I aged book pages using Tim Holtz distressing ink and covered the form randomly. Then I attached the Collage sheet image from Alpha Stamps. Masking the collage images I stamped the swirls with versa mark and covered it with powdered glue, that heats up like embossing powder, then sprinkled it with gold glitter. To finish it off I added a gold crown.
Sorry this one is blurry…the crown is very 3D making the scan not clean in some places.
The Second piece is called “A Stitch in Time” I used a decorative background paper and stamped the clock randomly. I then hand stitched around the edge with a mixture of bronze and a deep/brick red DMC floss. The belt is made from a dressmakers ruler and the clock parts are sticking through it. To finish it off I added a mini pair of scissors.
I hope you enjoy

Caroline - these are both really pretty - great job!! I'm hoping to have time tonight to do something for this one. Been running around all day today.
Love your art...beautifully created.
Both pieces are wonderful! I love the title of "A Royal Form"! Please tell me more about the glue that heats up? Sounds like a great product!
Very, very gorgeous torsos!!
Great, both of your torso are so fantastic. Love them.
both pretty but I like the clock one best - it seems to display here on the screen with a kind of 3D effect - just so great!!
Both are lovely! I am especially taken with your royal form = WOW!
Both of these are great works! I haven't heard back on my Torsos from them yet either, so maybe they're just taking a long time. I think these deserve to be published! Your second one is really super! Be encouraged, regardless.
I adore both of these!
Wow these look amazing Caroline! I love them!
