and happy Wednesday to you. Over on the Stampotique Designers' Challenge blog there is a new challenge up. This week it was the lovely Kaz who chose the theme 'Refresh it' and this is what she said :
"We all love playing with new stamps, but sometimes it's good to revisit some that have been neglected for a while. I'd like you to find an old favourite and give it a new lease of life."
I chose two stamps that I hadn't used in a long time and made a postcard with them :
I started with a postcard sized bit of a gelli print. I did some background stamping and splattered some white ink on it. One of the stamps I hadn't used in ages was 'Hexagon'. You can see it in the background. I stamped it with white ink and clear embossed it. Next I stamped 'Gooseneck'; she was my first Stampotique stamp and had been in the drawer for ages. Poor girl.... I coloured her with alcohol markers, clear embossed her and cut her out. I placed her on some washi tape. I adhered the leftover strips in the top left corner. (I also stamped her on the card so I didn't have to cut out all the hair. What I do to disguise the fact that I cut of the hair off of an embossed image is put some glossy accents over the hair that was stamped straight on the card. That way it all looks one piece !) I then stamped the sentiment 'Wicked'. Lastly I drew a line around the card and that was it !
I used the following stamps :
Thanks for stopping by !
Hope you like it .....
Deze is weer leuk! Zou ik niet aan gedacht hebben om dat roze met groen te combineren...
ReplyDeleteEn nu ga ik maar niet met een van m'n nieuwe, maar met 'n oudje aan de gang...
Groetjes, Gerrina
Leuk!!, dat blauw van haar jurk staat prachtig tegen dat roze!
ReplyDeletePrachtige kleuren op de stempel Corrie...komt heerlijk uit tegen de leuke roze achtergrond.
ReplyDeletegroetjes, Alie :-)
Fab card Corrie, I love that you used your first stamp too! xxx
ReplyDeleteNice! I love all the stamps you've used here. That gelli print background is cool too, love it all
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this Corrie and loving this weeks challenge, I'm finding so many stamps I'm not familiar with including Gooseneck!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have Gooseneck, Corrie, but you have her all gussied up and looking good! I used my first Stampotique stamp in my piece for today, too. Kind of brought back sweet memories for me. I wish I could remember which others were there that I passed by in favor of "Mary." Love the Hexagon in your background! I must compile a new list, it seems!
ReplyDeleteI don't own Gooseneck but she looks amazing on her fantastic pink background, love all the textures showing :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Great colors and love your hair tip.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic card using Gooseneck, I don't have it but really love your card with it! Great coloring! And the tip you indicate is always good to remind TFS, indeed that's a perfect way to hide that there was two pieces instead of only one. Enjoy your week-end dear Corrie, hugs Coco xx
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colours for this! They really pop! Lovely work Corrie!
ReplyDeleteGreat postcard and Gooseneck looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant Coby, Gooseneck looks fab! xx
