There's Beauty in 'OLD'

It's time for our Photo Inspiration at

Addicted to Stamps and More

and it is a 'ripper'

(Aussie word meaning good, fabulous etc

or another bonza! Couldn't help myself.)

I decided to concentrate on that old vehicle

and mine is a ute! Certainly looks like it is.

I started with my background using 

Magical Powders (of course)

in Canna Lily Burnt Orange.

They just make them so quick and easy. 

I then added a mix of crackle paste and Taunted Love Teal

  through a stencil to give it a Patina look - just like the photo.

Stamped my  'ute' with an old Gina K stamp then smooched.
Added Art Alchemy Waxes for added colour.
Framed in brown and popped in front of die cut
and waxed cogs.
Sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker.
Adhered to brown card base.
Here's a close up

Thanks for dropping by today.
Don't forget to see how my Team Mates
were inspired by that gorgeous photo.
Hope to see you in our Gallery this week.

Gone 'Potty' for Addicted to Stamps and More

Hello and Welcome. 

I'm here today for our new Challenge over at

Addicted to Stamps and More

As you can see it's our photo challenge

Now I was stumped with this photo as I

have NO succulent stamps in my stash

and the next best thing was to concentrate

on what I did have - a pot to put my 

pretty flowers in. I didn't even go with the

pretty coloured ones here - must have been 

in my own little world. I think the dp I chose

had a bit to do with that.

The stamp I used here is 

STAMPlorations Fluttery 

and has the stamps and dies - Yay!

I started with my background which is a grunge

digi paper from Doodle Pantry. I attached that

to a white card base and added a teeny strip

of paper to the side adding colour and to match my potted flowers.

I embossed some white card stock with an old CB folder

then cut out part of a circle with a MFT stitched die.

Attached that to my background 

and went to work on my flowers.

The green leaves are from a WOS pen and the flowers

coloured with SU markers.

I then concentrated on the pot playing with a variety

of products - Magicals in burnt orange

coloured markers to get a worn look

and inside with some Prima Artisan Powder

leaving it as is to look like 'real dirt'.

This was popped after I stamped and cut out

my sentiment tucking it behind the pot.

Added a few gems to finish.

Here's the Set I used.

Funny enough I used this set just recently.

If you want to see that one it's Here

It's Just for You.

Hello and Welcome!

We have our Photo Inspiration this time round at

Addicted to Stamps and More 

and it is truly beautiful.

I bought a craft magazine while I was away

after I saw my bff's copy and knew it would

be perfect for the beautiful photo below.

It included a stencil, stamps and embossing folder.

I took my cue from the gorgeous flowers
in the vase at the bottom left side.

I used the stencil and added White Texture Paste
 Iridescent Medium and Magicals
 Liquid Pearls were added after it had dried for dimension.

The sentiment is from HLS Dandelion Wishes

and inked after I got home.

Finished by corner rounding the top corner

and attached to coloured card stock to match the flowers.

Hope you pop over and see what my Team Mates

were inspired by. Love to see yours in our Gallery.

Thanks so much for coming by today -
