Hello!!
Welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs April Release!! I'm SO EXCITED to be sharing the New “Fanciful Florals” Stamp Set with you today!!
This set is SUPER FUN and I think there are SO MANY occasions that this set can be used for!! I decided to create some Etched Jewelry Pieces for today's Release!! Now if you have followed me for awhile, you know that my SECOND Favorite Hobby after Card Making/Stamping is Making Jewelry!! As SOON as I saw these AWESOME Stamps for today's Release I knew this set would be AWESOME for a Technique called Etching Base Metals!! I used several Different Copper Metal Blanks to create some FUN Jewelry Pieces and I LOVE that with this technique the results are NEVER the same!! I mean sure you get an Etched Design and its the same Stamped Image that you used, but depending on the Metal Base that you use and how long you leave your piece in the Etching Solution-Ferric chloride ~ (I use PCB Solution from Radio) the results are different EVERY TIME!! I will Link you to Several Tutorials below that I have liked for achieving this process!! I just used the Newton's Nook Designs Fancilful Florals Stamp Set along with Staz On Ink when it was time to do the Stamping!! So without further ado here are my FUN Pieces for today!! =) I LOVE the way they turned out!! =) (P.S Sorry for the Pictures too I'm not a PRO at Photographing Jewelry yet!! LOL!! Something I'm still working on) Hopefully you get the Idea though on how AWESOME and FUN this Technique is!! =)
I used several Nunn Designs Metal Pieces for my Designs today!! I used the Metal Stamping Toggle Flat Tag~Antique Copper for my Circle Bracelet and the Metal Stamping Crest Tag Circle~Antique Copper for the Earrings!! Then I used several other Jewelry Finding Pieces to finish off my designs!! I really hope you ENJOY these and look to see ALL the different ways you can use your stamps!! =)
This tutorial from Beaducation.com is my FAVORITE!! They even share an AMAZING Free Class that is SO EASY to follow!! The You-Tube Video can be found here if you're just interested in watching the Process!! =) If your into trying this technique out for yourself this is where I would start!! =) Next this tutorial Etching Aluminum by Karen McGovern is another AMAZING tutorial to check out!! She shares Several Videos too and there is just ALOT of useful information!! =) I hope that if you try this out you'll share your Projects with me because I'd LOVE to see how they turn out!! =)
