Zips and safely pins for Visible Image

Hello I have 2 posts up today. This morning I am back with my usual fortnightly design team post for Visible Image.   Pre orders are open on the website and the worldwide release date is this Friday March 19. There are 6 fab new stamp sets in this release. Last week with my extra post I share my punk rocker rocker card. If you missed it you can see it here. 

Today I am using the same set but this time I have made a wall hanging/canvas. . When I think of the punk fashions I first think of safely pins and zips so I decided to get out my trusty sewing machine and incorporate these in a fun canvas.

First I made a background using a mix of acrylic and Lindy's sparkle sprays.

 I cut  it apart and removed some of the pieces. I replaced these pieces with the same sized pieces of black card and stitched them back together to make my background.  

I also stitched in a zip and yes it actually opens!

I used my Refuse normal stamp set

I stamped the words onto lime green card and "grunged" them using black distress ink and my distress tool and then added a safely pin.

I stamped the punk in Versafine black onyx and clear embossed her. I coloured her with Zig watercolour pens adding a little pencil shading too. The cross earring was coloured using silver gel pen. I then cut her out.

Then it was time to assemble everything.

Here is my finished canvas.

with some close ups;

and one final shot.
