Where Did You Get That Hat Where Did You Get That Hat....

This is my first ever entry to The Sunday Postcard Art Challenge. This week the theme is Postage Stamp People, and luckily there is an excellent YouTube tutorial for those of us whose 1st reaction was 'Uh'
I got some used postage stamps from that well known auction site a couple of years ago, and after about an hour or so of ripping my craft room apart, I managed to find them :o)
The main stamp is by Paper Artsy, along with some of the background, together with Cherry Pie. A very inky background with lots of Mod Podge.
The whole thing just begged the question 'Where did you get that hat'

Thanks very much for looking.

ACouple of ATC's

I was in an ATC mood today, so out came the inks and the stamps and the glues....
Loads of mess later, and here are these two. Just stamping and colouring, and lots of Mod Podge - this is my mood indicator, the more I use the happier I am :o)
My latest find is golden Mod Podge from Craft Obsessions. I love this shop, they have just about everything and the service is second to none.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend x

The Wednesday Stamper - Openings

The hardest part of the challenge was to find a stamp with an opening, I hope this bridge counts! It's part of a huge 'Stamp Camp' stamp, and I must admit it's the 1st time that I've used it. The number of stamps that I have seen, loved, bought and never used.... lol.
I've stamped, then used ink pads and water to colour in. The sentiment is by Invoke Arts, and the sky has been coloured using Ranger acrylic paints in blue and white. I've also used a white pen to highlight, a red/gold brilliance pad to ink the edges, and lots and lots of Mod Podge to give it a shine
I really enjoyed this challenge, thanks for looking. xx

The Sunday Stampers - Words

'His name is Leo and he dances on the sand'
Mmm , maybe not... apologies to any Duranies out there :o)
Here is my effort for the Sunday Stampers this week. The theme is 'Words', and as I'm in a taggy mood I decided to make another.
I painted said tag with pink and lilac crackle paints, and blended them together with er... my finger. I'm sure there a blending tool available on some web site, but my finger was nearer!! It seemed to be quite a thick layer, but it hasn't cracked that much.
The da Vinci and little squares stamps are by Cherry Pie Art Stamps, and they have been inked with various distress inks.
The Artist stamp is by Tim Holtz. I roughed up the edges with his paper distresser, and inked up with yellow distress ink. It's finished off with a thin layer of Mod Podge to blend the colours in a little more.
I realy enjoyed this challenge, hope you like, and thanks for looking xx
