Good Morning everyone
Wow its August, where do the months go to! Its time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping and the theme this month is Words as the focus
or you can go with the anything goes option as long as some stamping involved
The perfect time to use these Katzelkraft quote stamps which ive had quite a while waiting to be used...about 18mths I thinkš² Ive teamed this adventure quote up with this fab crocodile stamp from Carabelle which is a new addition to my stash
6x4.5" white card base.
I stamped the quote and croc onto white card with green ink. The croc i watercoloured with distress inks and cut out and the sentiment i die cut into a rectangle with Xstitch dies. I found an old 6x6 paper pad with matching green papers to use with them. I matted a white with green dotty paper onto black and then the card front. I die cut a green dotty paper with Xstitch rectangle die, it wasn't big enough to fit the space so i cut it in half and glued each side upto the edge of the base paper.
I die cut black paper from the paper pad into another Xstitch rectangle and adhered to the front covering the gap in the green paper so hiding where i cut it in half! I added a ribbon strip from the paper pad across the middle. Matted the sentiment onto more of the black paper from the paper pad and added with foam tape. I adhered Mr Croc to the top with glue gel.
This shows the colour much better. Mr Croc is waving as he sets off on his adventures. Its also satisfying to use several papers up from a very old pad!
