Resist Challenge

A bit more formal, after my grunge bling, with a couple of challenge cards

I entered these cards for the KCUK yahoo group July challenges. 

I made a sheet of background card by clear stamping and embossing my favourite stampattack swirl. I then stamped it with script, dried it then blended Distress Inks over it all in Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive and Spiced Marmalade. 

The first card was for the sketch challenge and the following two were for the resist challenge so I used the same background for all three because I liked it. Don't know if I should but I DID!.
The two angels stamp is from Paperartsy and there is no indication to who makes the tree block stamp and I got it as a gift. Paperartsy make one very similar.

I also stamped the tree using the same resist technique.

The distressed edges of the next card really don't fit in well with the overall look.

Next post will be a bit more experimental as I am in the process of painting a display box with a prime coat of Gesso before it is altered. I'm winging it and don't really know what I'll do with it until it just happens... watch this space. 

I'm also in the middle of making Bumble Bee and Lady Bird dresses for my three grandees and crocheting little black skull caps, complete with antennae to go with them. hard to see what I'm doing with black yarn in this dull rainy weather, so I wish the sun would come out and help me! Keep an eye out for the results............
