Metal Embossing with Rubber Stamps-Reach for the Stars

Metal Embossing with Rubber Stamps-Reach for the Stars -100 Moons Collaborative Project-I am Elitia Hart, metal art instructor and mixed media explorer, and this is my second post for the 100 Moons Creative Collaboration blog. I almost always use some form of metal sheet in my projects and love the opportunity and to incorporate #Artfoamies, #100 Proof Press Rubber Stamps and #Rubbermoon stamps into my work. The idea for this little treasure box called " Reach for the Stars" was sparked by the lovely Rubbermoon stamps called Gazing Goddess, Star Goddess, Solstice Heartbeat and Sun Sweet- the small sun face and female form designs all translate beautifully onto metal sheet! For the sides of the box I used the Artfoamies stamp called Tribal Headdress and the 100 Proof Press Rubber Stamps Honeycomb Texture Background “When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.” ― Vera Nazarian.
