Recycling For Stampotique

Good morning all, though in my case it's still the middle of the night in the (hopefully) sunny USA.
The wonderful Sam (and Poppy) has chosen recycling as the challenge this week at Stampotique.

This started life as a boring old cork mat that had been living in the loft for years (Neil is a worse hoarder than I am lol) I used a technique that Darcy showed us a little while ago, I loved it the first time I tried it, so wanted to have another go!

Some Fresco paints scraped over the top.

Then some Colourwash spray through a stencil.

Topped off with another layer of white paint.
Then the fun part, lots of stamping.

I've used 
Vintage Script
Journey Collage
Spiralling Out Of Control
and stamped straight onto the mat with Versafine.
Flamingo has been stamped onto sticky backed canvas and coloured with Distress Markers. A couple of coats of matte medium to seal it all, and we're all done.
This was great fun to make, thank you very much Sam.
Hope you can join in with the challenge, and don't forget there's a chance to win a $30 gift certificate.
Enjoy your day, and thanks very much for looking x
