Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi, Connie here with Clear Scraps and Stampendous!  We are partnering together for a fun and creative journey.  I had the opportunity to use stamps by Stampendous! on wood hearts by Clear Scraps.  It was amazing, just like putting down a design pattern, and then adding color.  In my case it was acrylic paint and a paint brush!!!

Here is a tutorial on how these key rings were created:

#1.  The wood hearts were sanded lightly and then painted with a coat of acrylic paint.  Color you choose~
#2. The image was stamped on the wood using Distress Oxide/Jet Black.  I heat set it with a heat tool.
#3. Acrylic paints were used along with a no.0 size paint brush.  
#4. After the image is painted. heat dry, speckle with black acrylic paint.  I use an old toothbrush brush.  Gives you good control on the splats.
#5. The Stampendous! stamp set comes with a die, so I die cut the branch with leaves from green cardstock.

Looks super cute wrapped around a bunch a bananas!!!!  Kids would love it and the bananas!

#1. This one was created a little different.  The stamp used is a 6"X 6" background stamp by Stampendous! and the wood heart by Clear Scraps is 4"X 4".  Sand the wood heart lightly and wipe down with a soft cloth.
#2. Add spots of color (Distress Oxide) in random areas on the stamp.
#3. Lay the wood heart on top of the inked stamp and press all around making sure the heart has been inked.
#4. Heat set with a heat tool and then splat lightly with black ink.

Punch a hole in the top of the wood heart, add an "o" ring and trim with fabric strips.
