A Crown Is Merely A Hat!

Good morning and a very happy Friday! Today I'm back with my second project for the Lost Coast Designs fun "Hats" challenge.

I started by making a background with my gelli plate using paints and stencills.

Then I added a little bit more stencilling with stronger colours.

Of course you can't have a "hats" challenge without hats, so I've stamped and embossed a few from the Party Hats 2 plate.

I've used Princess of Everything for my focal image, and coloured her with Distress pens.

The quote is by Frederick The Great - well I didn't know that!

These are my lovely stamps, just 2 really. I've used

Princess of Everything and

Party Hats 2

I hope you like it, and that you join in with us over on the portal. Have a very happy weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Pick A Card, Any Card...

Good morning and a very happy Friday! As always the 15th of the month means a new challenge over on the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity, and today it's all about the hats!

I started by choosing one of my giant playing cards. I used the joker 'cos I thought that fitted in really well with my Fortuneteller.

Then I used the Diamonds Border stamp to make strips for the edges. I didn't want to stamp directly onto the cards 'cos they are so glossy (and slippy)

Then I stamped and cut out Perspective Floor, Fortune Teller, and a jester's hat from Party Hats 2. The Joker from Batman used to say "Pick a card any card" so I thought that would do nicely for my quote.
