Stamp camp always proves to be a dilemma when it comes to packing - trying to find ways to reduce what I take without compromising to many items. My latest discoveries are these double DVD tins - they fit exactly 32 'Little Bitz Boxes' from Christina's Crafts so now I can take lots of bellies to camp without them taking up to much room. To decorate the tin I used impasto and a flourish stencil from Tattered Angels then sponged with various colours of Lumieres and highlighted with gilding wax. There was no preparation to the tin I just used a palette knife to apply the impasto directly to the tin. I learnt this technique from Linda - you should check out her blog, lots of inspiring ideas.June 2, 2009

I adore this Trizzy. The texture is just stunning, and the colours are ethereal. What brand of impasto did you use, and where did you get it?
