At Last - Done a Challenge Again

Had been waiting to hear from Ready Steady Stamp to find out what was meant by "frame it" - think I have fulfilled the challenge now.  The ingredients are listed below:


My Entry using Crafty Individual Stamps


I had this box type container which had held Guest Soaps at one time and so I made it into a frame and put some torn pieces of Designer paper over it in a random fashion.  Then I got another piece of Designer paper, which was beige, and coloured it all over with Peacock Distress Inks to make it fit the parameters of blue and green.  It is lovely paper and has Chinese Kanji on which you cannot really see in this scan.

Then I cut out the letters from yet another piece of Designer paper, mounted them on thick cardboard and edged the green shapes with Broken China Distress Ink.  The images were stamped in black on white and mounted on black foam core.

The bird at the top is a laser cut I bought in America last year, painted with Sailboat Blue (Dabber) and the two Daisies are from a Sizzix Die.

I do hope some more people join in the Ready Steady Stamp Challenge or else this is going to be the last one.  This is a "real" challenge and one which I thoroughly enjoy - different from the rest.
