Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
37 minutes ago
Monday, 2 April 2018
As so often happens after a Craft Room tidy/reorganisation, I ended up with a pile of stamps I hadn’t used for years and wanted to use again…notably, this little butterfly girl, from Time to Stamp, which once was a favourite of mine. I noticed Rubber Dance now sell the same image(s – there are a few different ones on the same theme), which intrigues me, especially because they credit Time to Stamp…
I masked the butterfly girl and made two quite different cards – this one was a simple one with a plain background, edged with a stamp made from an old rollagraph wheel.
The next one was a bit more complex because I clear embossed some images over the mask, then added inks, a bit more colour and some words.
I’d like to link that to
Make My Mondays - Things with Wings
I was still playing with Black and White for a day or so and made another scrapling…
…and this one from an Art Journey stamp, with an Isa stamp in the background. Not sure if they were pressed by Katzelcraft but I know Isabelle designed the plate. I used a Hero Arts alphabet set for the letters.
Here’s another Winged Creature…or three on an Oxide Background…
…a simple ‘Happy Day’ card on another Oxide background…
…followed by another…
…and today’s journalling spread, again, made with Oxides, various stamp and pens.
I’m linking to the following challenges:-
