Sunday Challenge No 30

This is my postcard for this weeks Sunday Challenge on UK Stampers.

Lots of Adirondack spray ink with mica powders added to them, over stamped with swirly background stamps.
The little elephant is made from grungeboard, painted with weathered wood distress crackle paint. The rug has been stamped on thin card and cut to fit, (the 'fringe' is part of a house stamp from Paper Artsy) the decoration on the elephants head is some Indian stick on body beads.

Sunday Challenge

My entry for this weeks Sunday Challenge on UK Stampers.
The background I made using coloured card in blue and beige and stamped swirls in a slightly darker colour, then ripped and applied to postcard with glue stick.
The little 'beach huts' are Paper Artsy minis (Welcome home), I stamped them onto white card used weathered wood Distress Crackle paint on the sides (masking to get straight edges) the doors I coloured with Marvy Le Plumes and the roof I painted with Watermelon Dabber.
the 'sun' is really a moon stamp coloured with a distress ink.

This little book is from 7 Gypsies (4x4) I covered the front and back with some 7 gypsies paper inked around the edges with Vintage photo distress ink.
The 9 little images were printed from a Tuscan Rose vintage images cd (vol 3) which I trimmed to size so they just fitted into a square icecube tray (99p from Tesco) then I poured UTEE which I had melted in my melt pot over and left to cool and set.
These I then applied to the top of the book with lossy acsents and then tied ribbon and cotton lace to the spine.

Well here is my entry for this weeks Sunday Challenge over on UK Stampers.
I know, it's Monday. I just didn't have time to put it on the blog before yesterdays deadline.

The background was made by swishing on acrylics in snow cap, aqua, lettuce and a purple.
All the images were stamped onto tissue paper and applied to the background apart from the word 'Paris' which I stamped sraight onto the background using black Archival ink.
