We have some exciting news over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges– Shirley has been working very hard on some changes to the challenge site – Starting with this fortnight’s challenge (and I’ll get to that in a minute) we have a brand new sponsor – Flonzcraft and have our own dotcom address. This means our challenge site has moved so make sure you change any stored bookmarks and links via our logos !
So onto the current challenge then – which is Swirls as chosen by Shirley herself. I’ve made a little tag -
I used Tim Holtz's wrinkle free distress technique for the background, stamped Inkadinkadoo foliage trails and added die cut swirls and Butterflies.
The butterflies are cut from book pages that have been coloured with ink sprays and stamped and embossed (and yes I know..the text is upside down, – guess who die cut them the wrong way up?!). The stamp is from the Vintage No1 set by Stamp Addicts.
The tag is to go into my Creative Chemistry 101 Album, I signed up for the online classes and am slowly getting round to making samples for each technique!
