#SDC280 - INCHIES WEEK TWO. Maria Lawton.

It's odd how I really struggled with my inchie last week, but this week....I just 'did it!'

Again, I have used Distress oxides for the background and on the INCHIES themselves. I used Jo Capper-sandon's seaweed stamp for the background, stamping both with and into spritzed oxides.
I used Daniel Torrente's 'Girl with a heart purse,' to stamp across all of my INCHIES and used a Dylusions sentiment stamp, which is quite close to my heart. To finish off, I used gold guilding wax around the edges and mounted my design onto Kraft card and added a scribble border.

Upward Bound Card.

I have been desperate to use this stamp by Maria Raita Sabina for ages and a belated birthday card for a dear friend's daughter seemed a good excuse to use this gorgeous little bunny.
The card is a fusion of embossed sentiments (Leonie Pujol) stamping and acrylic painting, I loved making it and hope that my daughter's friend loves it too.

#SDC280-Inchies Maria Lawton

After three weeks of sorting out my Art room, I've finally found my desk and made something for the Stampotique 'Inchies' challenge.
Challenge was the appropriate word, I found this quite tricky to do, in fact this is the third attempt!

I have used Daniel Torrente's starfish cube and Jo-Capper Sandon's Seaweed stamps, from Stampotique and the sentiment is from a set by Tracey Evans.
My little starfish Inchie was stamped, then overlaid with glossy accents and finally painted in acrylic paint.
The background, other starfish and card edges were created using distress oxides...love them.

All-in-all I feel that I have done justice to christening my new and improved art room.
