Just because.....




Last night I found some more of the papers I had made with Paper Artsy paints a couple of weeks ago (here),  I was reluctant to cover them up as I was so happy with them so I tried to make something that let them show through.  I really need a lot more practice as this sort of thing but I had fun making it, I didn't water down the gesso enough so its left odd patches of white but I'll know better next time .The trees and the sentiment are stamped on tissue paper and adhered with gel medium.The couple and the dog were stamped and fussy cut, I love that little dog, its so cute. Trees and couple are Crafty Individuals and the wording is a very old Rubber Stampede wood stamp.I'd like to enter this into these challenges

    Wow, this one is a stunner. I love this range of Crafty Individual stamps and you've really done it justice here Joan. It looks wonderful against the background and you've achieved a great sence of perspective with this card. I love it! Sandra X

    This looks great and I love that beautiful background and the fussy cut couple with that cute little dog over the top. It has an ethereal look to it with the gesso over the top. I think you have done a great job stamping on to tissue paper! x
