Hi you all! Thanks for the good wishes yesterday after my fall; I have been taking it easy at home, and am being VERY careful on the stairs!
At Moo Mania the challenge is to do something with postage stamps, so I thought I would give it a try. I have a box full of envelopes with lovely stamps, but couldn't bear to cut any up for the challenge, so I am happy to say that no real stamps were harmed to produce these moos! The Moos have been made from scraps pasted onto old moo cards and stamped with mail-art stamps using Archival black and red.

The Moos have been made from scraps pasted onto old moo cards and stamped with mail-art stamps using Archival black and red.
This one has been made from a scrap stamped randomly with various stamp and postage motives, and some added cut-out pieces.
For this one a used a scrap of black/brown patterned DP, which I stamped and embossed with white EP before adding the cut outs with foam squares.

This one has been made using tiny strips of some stamp-printed DP over some matting made from various scraps.
The background has been made from the stamp-printed DP, over which I stamped, and then added a penny black cut through diagonally. I hope that doesn't count as treason!
The last one has been made from a scrap of old book paper, which has been gessoed, distressed, stamped before adding some cut out stamps.
I had fun making the little moos, they seem to be rather addictive!
Have a good day you all, take care, have fun and thanks for coming by!
Good morning Valerie-pleased you are taking it easy after your fall
ReplyDeleteMy you have been busy with your Moos and they all look terrific. Fancy being able to make humble stamp images look so interesting and artistic--you are always full of ideas.

Well, you learn something new every day! I had no idea what a moo was so had to pop,over and have a look. Your mail moos are wonderful, you obviously had fun making them. Have a good day and 'go canny' on those stairs! Xx

I love the creative community!! Who else would have come up with a way to use moo cards!
ReplyDeleteStamps are always a favorite of mine--I collected for years and have many that are less than perfect, but perfect for crafts!
