I made lots of houses using The Artistic Stamper house stamp sets, then paper pieced them and arranged on my pages. Added some peel off numbers coloured with gold alcohol ink to the doors.
Stamped the Stampotique children stamp by Janet Klein onto book page, cut out into individuals and popped onto my pages as they're playing out.
Next my Hot Air Balloon embellishment.I'd gotten some metal tape and had a play. Using a small balloon from the Tando Creative Hot Air Balloons grab bag, I stuck a chipboard number 7 then covered it in layers of torn metal tape, burnishing them well using plastic paper shapers. I did experiment with paint and ink, but didn't like it so took it off and just used alcohol inks in mushroom and bronze. Glued to my page and again job done. I really enjoyed playing putting this together, paper, stamps paint, chipboard and stencils, my favourite things.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge U
Stampotique Designers challenge #104 - faux metal
Tando Creative challenges -June - numbers
