Hello!
Welcome
to our Winners Profile, showcasing the Design Winner of our last Blog
Challenge!
The
very talented Design Winner of our July 2016 challenge is
Anne Redfern
Anne won
the challenge with this amazing piece of 3D art! We loved the level of detail in this piece, the stamped beach hut is so summery!
We asked Anne 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/crafting after visiting a local craft shop demonstration about 9 years
ago I have not stopped since!
Q: What are
your favourite kinds of stamps, and do you have a favourite stamp company?
A:My tastes have
changed over the last few years, I love vintage, grungy and also shabby
chic. It is hard to choose a favourite
but I do love Tim Holtz, Wendy Vecchi and also IndigoBlu.
Q:
Describe your style, are you a messy kind of stamper or a more ‘clean and
simple’ kind of person?
A:
I don't think I have
a 'style' as such so I can only describe it as eclectic – I do love colour and
texture and I'll try anything once! I
am very messy when creating but I always tidy up afterwards.
Q:What
kind of projects do you like creating the most?
A:
My real passion is
creating 3D projects, either designing and constructing them myself or using
dies, along with stamps and inks of course!
Q:
Apart from stamps, what is the one product you wouldn’t be without when you
craft?
A:
That would have to be
ink, without that I would not be able to stamp or to colour my projects. Ink is so versatile.
We
also asked Anne to show us a couple of her
favourite stamped creations, and share why she likes them so much. Here
are the gorgeous projects she has chosen:
"I love this project because it combines everything I love about crafting – 3D, stamps and paint! I used Eileen Hull for Sizzix Box, Caddy die, IndigoBlu's Colour Me Daisy stamp and DecoArt Paints and Mediums. I am also thrilled that it was published in the e-book, '80 Artists Around the World'"- Anne
"I don't journal very
often but this is one of my favourites because it celebrates my love of the
sea. I used Tim Holtz Distress Paint
and Stains, Tim Holtz dies and IndigoBlu stamps. I layered up the colours separately, adding some stamping for
effect and finally some dies to add texture"- Anne
