Spotlight on Glittery Katie!

Postby Kathi on Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:53 am

Glittery Katie is Bombshell Stamps' Technique Expert and always creates inspirational and exciting artwork using her Bombshell Stamps.

She recently had an amazing piece published in Craft Stamper, a UK magazine.

Here it is:

Since I know you want to know Katie better, here's a quick interview that I did with her so that you can learn more about her and her creative process!

***
• What is your favorite Bombshell set?
Ooh! That's a toughie as I love them all for different reasons -- my fave at the moment is probably Bombshell Angel and the digital dress ups. I'm having great fun with those!

• How do you like to color them?
I started out with coloured pencils, then went onto ProMarkers, but now I'm a die-hard Copics girl!

• What kind of projects do you create with them?
I love these stamps so much I will use them anyway the wind takes me! I've done cards, ATCs, Shrines, Embroidery. I just get a creative idea and run with it because Bombshells are THAT versatile!

• What is your favorite technique and why?
I'm a technique junkie, so again pinning me down to a single choice is MEAN!!! :lol: I would have to say that any technique that involves ink, specifically Distress inks. I just love to distress, age, and grunge up my projects!

• Where do you learn all your fabulous techniques?
As I say, I am addicted to learning new techniques, so when I spot a piece of work that inspires me, I examine how the crafter achieved their end result and then go off and play. Tim Holtz is my main inspiration! He's The King of Grunge!

Are you self-taught or have you taken art (and engineering) classes?
I'm self-taught for the most part. I learned to craft with my Mom when I was little and haven't really stopped since!
