Puzzle your stamps

Tick tock, it’s time to share another card with you!

PuzzleYourStampsI created this card for a ‘Puzzle your stamps’ swap. Just stamp a variety of images, cut them into pieces and puzzle them together in order to create an imaginary character: it’s great fun and you’ll be amazed at the result!

I’d like to enter this card into the following challenges:

For the purple background  I used an embossing resist technique so as to create a faux batik effect. For the orange circle I used a gelli-plate background. The 3 Stampotique creatures as well as the pointy hat have been painted with glue in the dark paint,

Stamps used

  • 3 in a round: Stampotique

Glow in the dark heads

Time ATC

I’ve been posting lots of cards lately (which is very unlike me), so here’s an ATC:

Smile

Once in a while, I participate in swaps in which we are asked to incorporate an image provided. The following ATC was created for such a swap:

In reality, the background’s rather sparkly, for it was created using Glimmer and Perfect Pearls Mists. Unfortunately, this doesn’t really show on scan. I used a piece of lace as a stencil while I was misting, thus creating a kind of flowery pattern. I find the image really matches  the lovely sentiment stamp by Fiskars.

This is my entry for the following challenges:

S for …. steampunk

Here’s a steampunk ATC I haven’t shared with you before.

I created a rusty background that I first dry embossed and then heat embossed in copper. I added some watchparts to Audrey’s eyes.

Vintage cyclist

This week, Think Monday Think ATC wants to see bicycles and My time to craft focuses on hats. This vintage gentleman surely rides an impressive specimen and he’s wearing a stylish hat too.

I created the background using Jennifer McGuire’s acrylic bloc method, for this is the current challenge @ Yahoo Group “Creatief met stempels”. All stamps used are Katzelkraft, except for the script background, which is Darkroom Door.
