Hi you all, hope you have enjoyed your weekend. I have been busy, mostly doing nothing, and a bit of crafting in between. I have made 2 more mixed media postcards, using stamping, collage, and a bit of this and that.

The Ladies over at 'Out of Hat' issued an invitation to a Mad Hatter's party, and our task this week was to make a reply. I distressed a piece of speciality stamping paper with gradient colours, and stamped over it with a background stamp from LaBlanche. The bird, hand and wheeled tea-pot stamps are from Catherine Moore; they have beem stamped in black and clear embossed. I coloured the bird-lady's dress with water colour pencils. The column/table is a stamp from LaBlanche. I added a chipboard frame - yes, it's upside down! - and gave the bird-lady a top-hat and a clock to get her ready for the party!

I just love these Valerie, the crazy Bird lady is my favorite stamp (when you use her) and the clock and top hat really take her over the top, ha ha! The postcards are beautiful too, love the Once upon a time lettering. You are on a creative roll my friend, keep going! ~Diane

Great postcards but I love your Mad Tea Party card, so much fun and detail. x
ReplyDeleteLove all of them but the "Once Upon a Time" is my favorite! I really like what looks like turquoise on my computer and the glitter!
ReplyDeleteWOW, just beautiful, Valeria. The "Once Upon a Time' stamp is quite incredible! and ... of course I'm mad about that little bird you have and with the top hat -- can't stop smiling. hugs, Donna

ReplyDeletebeing busy mostly doing nothing-sounds so familiar to me :). absolutely beautiful 'mad tea party' cards. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteI think you are one of the reasons I am seeing postcards everywhere in my art now! I love seeing yours and it is rubbing off on me!
ReplyDeleteNow these are gorgeous and love the aqua glitter!
ReplyDeleteReally, really like the first two but the Character Constructions Mad Tea party have blown me away. I love CC stamps but never use them nearly enough these days.
