Faux Postage

Well I spent a wonderful afternoon with the lovely Kym, her hubby Paul, son Stephen and friend Marjorie today. We met at a farm shop/cafe and partook of some lovely tea and cakes and managed to chat for about three hours - I thought they were going to add rent to the bill lol.

I managed to make this when I got home:


I won this postcard stamp from Crafty Sentiments recently and inked it up for the first time today then used TH tea dye distress ink to age it. The decoupage is from Paper Nation and the map of the world BP is from Costco both have been in my stash for an age. Card is finished with some crochet wool tied at the bottom which I inherited from my Nana. So a great mix of old and new here.

Challenges entered:
Rainbow Lady - faux postage
Glitter Geeks - all around the world
Just add Ink - something from your stash
The Poodles Parlour - anything goes
The Stamp Man - travel
The Paper Variety - travel/transportation
Cards for Men - anything goes

Amy (again)

The theme at Crafty Sentiments this week is Glitter it up. I don't really do glitter........it messes up my nice clean craftroom and makes me look like the fairy who was rejected!!............so I've used glitter board on this card. Amy was sitting ready coloured in - a trial with my new Promarkers, I've added some glitter pen highlights to her T-shirt.
Used my Grand Nestie ovals to shape the card and for the matting and layering. Card is finished with some glittery tinsel, some roses which have been glittered and a few gems.
I'm also entering this in the DYSU - Follow the Yellow Brick Road
