Vintage Stamping Challenges has a Summer Days challenge theme this month which was our lovely teamie sister Claire’s choice.
This is my DT piece for the challenge a Summer Album. The hunky man on the front is a stamp from Flonzcrafts which I gently coloured with distress markers. I say gently because it was stamped onto a very flimsy cream paper lace doily which is from the Docrafts range. Masked him off then added dimensional paste through a TH stencil called Burlap. Added some Worn Lipstick ink then topped off with gilding wax called Rose Quartz. It has given the paste such a polished lustre which you can only see in real life. Papers used are from a Prima pad called Stationer’s Desk.
My inside cover page of the album has a stamped border of roses which were inked with Black Versafine then coloured in with Faber Castelle watercolour pencils. The woman painter was also coloured the same way, you can find her here. The same ink pad was used for the quote before framing and cutting out.
Six envelopes were used to make this album with the stacking binding system. Another of Flonzcrafts stamps was used for the back of the album which is here.
To enter this months challenge just click Mr Linky at the bottom of the VSC web page and maybe it could be you who wins the $20 from Flonz’s store. Please visit the DT’s blogs for more inspiration and also it would be nice to leave them some love.
