Good morning and happy Friday. It's time for a brand new challenge over at Country View Crafts, and more importantly it's time for our holidays. As this post goes live we will be jetting off to the USA so it's home alone time again for the kids - they'll get over it lol.
The theme this time has been chosen by the lovely Evelyn, and it's Letters and/or Numbers. Here's mine.
I started by stamping this huge A4 stamp that Tracy Evans designed for AALL and Create. I stamped it on kraft, white, and black card.
Then I just snipped and punched away and layered up the pieces. I added a bit of stitching, then a bit more, and then I made myself walk away lol.
To finish I attached it to an A4 sketchbook and gave it a generous coat of Vintage Collage Medium. You can't really see it here, but it does give it a fab aged look.
Please check out the Country View Crafts challenge blog for lots of wonderful inspiration from my teamies and then join in with our challenge.
Have a very happy March, and I'll catch up with you after my holidays. Thanks very much for looking x
