Los tres caballeros

Hello fellow Crafters,

A short while ago one of my favourite stamp brands started to have a monthly challenge. As you know I do love a challenge so today I thought I play along. The stamp brand I am talking about is Lost Coast Designs and their stamps are pretty awesome. I don't own many yet, but the ones I have I use again and again. Anyway this months theme is text/letters and this is what I made :


I started with some card stock which I coloured in a totally new way for me. I used a brayer and three colours of distress inks. I just rolled them over the paper. I like the effect and I will do this again some time. I then did some background stamping with a text stamp and used a bottle cap to make the rings with white and black India Ink and also did some splatters. I planned to take the sewing machine around the edges but it has stopped working so I had to rely on my fineliner. I stamped the Tres Caballeros on some texted paper and cut them out. I separated the text from the main stamp. I matted both stamped pieces on black card stock. Next I stamped a white doily with the same text stamp and used a little bit of it underneath the main image. I also added a bit of bakers twine. Lastly I adhered everything to the pages. 

Thanks for stopping by ! 

Hope you like it....

  3. Another of your amazing backgrounds is perfect for this stamp - I like the contrast of the black inked stamped image against that orange background.

  5. Great design for your "tres caballeros," Corrie! A great thought to separate the title from the three men, I might add. I have used my brayer quite a bit to apply paint to backgrounds, but have yet to use distress inks. Will definitely try that in the future. Love the unexpected doily!

  6. This is lovely! Orange is one of my favourite colours and is great with the black stamps. I have been given a Ranger roller but I don't know what to do with it!
