Good morning my lovelies, we've got a brand new challenge starting at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and our theme is 'Inspired by Water', chosen by my lovely teamie Amanda. As always there is a fab prize from our generous sponsor Flonzcraft too! Now I adore this theme and had sooooo much fun making my projects, but trying to take the photos was a total nightmare eeeeeeeek!
I created 4 little underwater scenes using Stampbord coasters, and stamps from Flonzcraft and Sheena Douglass and a mixture of memento and distress inks.
I added a little glossy accents to the 'bubbles'. The backgrounds were made using my DutchDoobadoo 'Bricks' stencil with Maimeri Light Modelling Paste on a mountboard base. I coloured the bricks with distress inks.
Once everything was dry I added eyelets and grabbed some garden twine from the shed to attach the squares together using nautical knots - this knot is called the Carrick Bend and there is a fab tutorial here on animated knots.
I'm entering this in the following challenges:
4 Crafty Girlz: anything goes
All Crafts: anything but a card
Craftitude: anything goes/add a little green
Crafty Bloggers Network: nature
Stampotique Designers Challenge #137: textured background
Red Rubber: stamp your own background
Through the Craft room door: anything goes
Well thanks for visiting today, hope you're having a good weekend
