SDC 168 Use Book Text - Wednesday's With Claudine

Hello all, Wednesday's always mark another fun challenge over at Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog and this week our hostess is Corrie Herriman and she has chosen the theme 

"Use Book Text"

I love the theme but I don't have a ton of books that I tear up, I need to go to the thrift store and get some so that I can just rip those pages and use them for backgrounds.

I did find one book to use for this challenge and it was an older book that the kids never liked so I figured it was ok haha!

I used a gelli print that I have had for awhile for my background and I added the torn book print and then painted a little bit over it so that it would blend well with the background

Stampotique Stamps I used are:

Ignis - By Artist Magda Polakow

Barcode Text AND Barcode By Artist France Papillon

Cross Hatch Swirl - By Artist Maryse Carrier

Here is my finished postcard

I stamped Ignis onto the book text and colored her with distress markers, this way the book text shows through

I also doodled a bit all over the edges and added a sentiment that a friend of mine lives by haha!! 

Thanks for coming by, I hope you will join us in this challenge

what a lovely background!

Stampotique do some great background stamps and one of my particular favourites at the moment is baroque background.  I even dug out the embossing powder for this project :)

 

Stampotique stamps used:

baroque background  #7109 by Amy Wilson Wellenstein

antique description  #7228 by Amy Wilson Wellenstein

star flower  #2021 by Maryse Carrier

Bon Voyage or Vacation - Wednesday with Claudine

Hello everyone and welcome to another Wednesday with me. 

My piece was based upon the new Designer's Challenge and this week's challenge was brought to you by Kathi Rerek

She chose the theme Bon Voyage or Vacation

Some of the ladies on the design team are going on vacation this summer so it's great to hear all about the places they have seen or been.

For my project I did a postcard and used Stampotique Stamps

Stacked Suitcases by Artist France Papillon

Cross Hatch Swirl - By Artist Maryse Carrier

Oh Tree - By Artist Daniel Torrente (for the heart)

My husband is in the Air Force so this is something that I strongly believe, he always takes a piece of me with him wherever he goes. 

Have a wonderful day!!

Boxes - SDC151 - Wednesday's With Claudine

I love the challenge of "boxes" and what better way to make a box but with Eileen Hull's Artist Trading Block Dies.

I used the smallest size for my project, it's the 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"

This one was the perfect size for the Stampotique Stamp I used

For this project I used the Stampotique Stamps

Scooter Girl - Roc Nicholas

Blocks - Maryse Carrier

Tall Word Collage - Amy Wilson-Wellenstein

Great Moon - Jo Capper-Sandon (only used the star from this stamp)

Monochromatic - Wednesday's With Claudine

Happy mid-week (Wednesday) to you, I hope your having a wonderful week

I've been messing around in my craft room and creating some classes for my teaching schedule but I always have time for my favorite Stampotique blog posts.

This week our wonderful Tanja is challenging us to create with Monochromatic in mind. This means all the same color just maybe different shades of that color.

Be sure to check out the Designers Challenge Blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation

This week, I am using Stampotique Stamps -

Give The Dog A Bone - by Maryse Carrier

Poochas Gracias - From Carol's Collection

Monochromatic is tough for me because I like using many different colors and shades but I had a great time creating this card and figuring out what I wanted to do with it. 

I hope you will come over and join us for this challenge

Have a great day!!!
