Onze blog hop bij Poppystamps is bijna afgelopen, wil je nog kans maken op één van de nieuwe stanzen, dan kun je op ons blog je reactie achterlaten. Dit kan nog t/m de 24e! Poppystamps is een onderdeel van Memory Box en MB heeft prachtige nieuwe stencils op de markt gebracht. Je kunt ze op allerlei manieren gebruiken, met pasta, chalks, distress inkt, gewone stempelinkt of zoals ik hier laat zien, middels dry embossing. Ik heb hier thuis een geweldig en hilarisch boekje, geschreven in 1894 door Ruth Smythers. Voor degenen die dit niet kennen: het gaat over je huwelijkse plichten (of eigenlijk wat je niet moet doen tijdens het huwelijk ;-) Ik heb zelfs een link gevonden naar de tekst, scheelt weer wat scanwerk ;-) Op de één of andere manier moet ik dan altijd aan die zilveren bijbeltjes denken die dames vroeger meenamen naar de kerk. Het leek mij dus wel leuk om dit boekje een nieuw hoesje te geven en de mijne is gemaakt van metaalfolie m.b.v. één van de nieuwe MB stencils:
Our Poppystamps blog hop is nearly finished, but you have still plenty of opportunity to try and win one of the new dies and/or MB stencils. All you have to do is leave your comment on our blog, you have until January 24th to do so! Poppystamps is a division of Memory Box who now also has the finest of texture stencils to offer. You can use them in all kinds of ways, with paste, chalks, (distress) inks or like I did in my project: dry embossing. At home I have this amazing and absolutely hilarious little booklet, written back in 1894 by a lady called Ruth Smythers. For those of you who are not familiar with it: it's about your marital duties (or rather actually what you shouldn't do during marriage ;-) I even found a link to the text, so I don't have to scan the pages ;-) One way or another I was thinking of those old silver and beautifully adorned bibles that ladies used to bring to church, so I thought it would be fun to give this booklet a new cover. Mine is made from metal foil and I used one of the new MB stencils to emboss the background:

Ik ben er daarna met zwarte inkt overheen gegaan om het een oud zilveren uitstraling te geven - I then inked it up with black ink to give it a more intense, old silver look:
Zeg nou zelf, is die tekst niet ge-wel-dig? Gelukkig is er sinds 1894 veel veranderd, ha ha ha!
Don't you just LOVE this text? Thank goodness so many things have changed since 1894, LOL!
