Welcome to our Winners Profile, showcasing the Design Winner of our last Blog Challenge!
The very talented Design Winner of our January 2016 challenge is
Susanne won the challenge with this amazing project! We loved how the dragonfly was layered so beautifully, and the bright pops of colour on the neutral background are just fabulous!
We asked Susanne a few questions all about stamping (well, we are Craft Stamper after all!)
We asked Susanne a few questions all about stamping (well, we are Craft Stamper after all!)
Q: How long have you
been a stamper, and how did you get started?
A: I started stamping
four years ago, just because I wanted to create some polymer clay jewellery. It
didn't take much time until I recognized, that I also can use stamps on paper.
I had been painting with acrylics for more than 15 years and I started to
combine different techniques and mediums. So my passion for mixed media grew
fast.
Q: What are your
favourite kinds of stamps, and do you have a favourite stamp company?
A: I love rubber stamps
and good quality clear stamps. Whenever I'm searching for stamps my eyes keep a
closer look at butterfly and bird images. My favourite companies are Visible
Image Stamps, Rubber Dance Stamps, Viva Las VegaStamps! and Designs by Ryn.
Q: Describe your style,
are you a messy kind of stamper or a more ‘clean and simple’ kind of person?
A: I love adding
colours, texture and layers. I am definitely on the messy side. But I really
love clean and simple creations, too. So I try to improve my CAS skills
regularly.
Q:What kind of projects do you like creating the most?
A: I am a mixed media
girl! I like to use different mediums and to experiment with them. I always try
out new techniques. My projects are normally not overloaded with
embellishments.
Q: Apart from stamps,
what is the one product you wouldn’t be without when you craft?
A: Gesso. I use it every
day.
We
also asked Susanne to show us a favourite stamped creation,
and share why she likes it so much. Here is the gorgeous project she has
chosen:
"I like to share an art journal page, I created with Rubber Dance stamps. In any of my projects I try to express my feelings or a special mood. This spread brings it to the point, and in addition to the statement I used one of my favourite colour combinations!" - Susanne
