It's Summertime....
Though it is actually raining again today lol. It's the wonderful Carol's turn to pick the theme this week at Stampotique, and she's gone with Summertime. Well I think we all need a bit of this.
"I love the summer time. I love to spend time outdoors especially in the garden where you can sit surrounded by the sights and colours of summer. I used this as my thoughts for this weeks challenge. Whether its the bright summer colours that inspire you, the flowers or just the general lazy feeling you can get from an afternoon in the garden, take this summer and make it into your own work of art. Carol x
I started with a 6x6 piece of chipboard and coloured with lots of Pan Pastels, straight from the pan, and through stencils.
Next came the Vintage Script stamped in plum archival.
Abstract Foliage has been stamped and embossed in kaleidoscope embossing powder, and Medium Bee has been stamped onto the board and also onto acetate.
The words are computer generated (thanks Chris) and printed onto Safmat.
I'm really enjoying making these boards, and I get to keep them all together 'cos they are from a board scrapbook and so will be ring bound together when they are all done.
Please join us in pursuit of Summertime and you could be the lucky winner of a $30 gift certificate from Stampotique.
I'm also entering this into the
Country View Crafts challenge - how does your garden grow - and
Fashionable Stamping anything goes.
