Now - I do not mean scream and shout when I say Create a Scene. This is the third week of our Nature theme at Make My Monday, and we want to see a scene created. There are some fabulous examples on the challenge blog, so please do pop along and have a browse. I must admit I did struggle at first, but it's amazing what can be found in the stash when you are desperate for the right stamps. However, as a result of this I also have another carrier bag full of stamps that I am going to sell.
I built my background with Pan Pastels - did I say I love these (!), and then used a variety of stamps from Elusive Images - now Chocolate Baroque. I am now sure where the seat came from - it is very old and the writing is off the stamp. All the images are stamped with archival ink.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Craft a Scene - Anything Goes
Let's Ink It Up - Anything Goes
Pan Pastel Challenge - Anything Goes
Bloggers Challenge - Wings and Things
Alphabet Challenge Blog - Y - You can choose
I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you. Hugs,
Val, this is a beautiful scene! Such lovely soft colours and such beautiful stamping! Looove it!!! ;) Hugs, Joanna xx
ReplyDeleteThis is really gorgeous Val. I love all the stamps you've used and of course, recognise most of them. I love the soft colours of the Pan Pastels which I haven't tried yet. Think I need to give them a go very soon. Oh dear, something else on the wise list, lol!
