Another little festive postcard...

....I've made another vintage themed postcard for the challenge over at Country View Challenges.....
I used Oxford Impressions stamps, love their vintage, nostalgic style and lots of distress ink to give a faded, old look. Took a few pics as it progressed through various stages of stamping and inking!! Lol!........




Pop over and join in the fun.....

New Stamps and Stencils on the way....

.....from Sheena Douglass.

Sheena will be launching some great new stamps and a lovely collection of new masks on Thursday 11th on Create and Craft, first show will be at 8.00am. Here's a little peek at one of the samples showing one of the new stamps and a great new trees stencil.....


.....the background was covered with a wash of Aquatints and then faux bleached. Once that was dry I put a mixture of black gesso and gold AquaTint through the tree stencil.  The girl was stamped, cut out and coloured with Aquatints.

I'll be back tomorrow with another little peek :)

Vintage Christmas Postcard

The new challenge over at Country View Challenges is Nostalgic Christmas so I thought I'd make a vintage themed Christmas postcard.......

Pretty much all stamping and distress inks...started off by stamping the boys (Oxford Impressions) and then blended a bit of distress onto the background and used a Tim Holtz layering stencil for the holly....
..then I added some little stamped poinsettias (Tim Holtz) and a sentiment (Oxford Impressions).... 
....then to finish a stamped postmark (Oxford Impressions) and more distress shading around the edges to give it a more vintage look.... 

Please pop over to the challenge blog and join in the Nostalgic Christmas fun :)
