Stampotique Challenge: It's a wrap

This weeks challenge at Stampotique is Wrapping those last minute gifts in a Stampotique way! When your invited to a (Christmas) diner, it's always nice to bring something for the host(ess). That's how I thought of this wine label, to make it a bit more personal/festive. The wine label is made with the Tim Holtz Vintage Cabinet die. I got my idea from this blog, it has a good photo tutorial too, if your interested in how to make this. I also used Distress Stains Brushed Pewter, Evergreen Bough and Distress Ink Evergreen Bough. I colored the stamp with Distress Markers. There is also glitter and Glossy Accents on the heart.
Okay... not really a wrapping, but hope you still like it :-D

Stampotique Challenge: Use Paint

The new challenge at Stampotique is to use paint in your creation. I love to use acrylic, although nowadays my hands are almost always covered in inkspray :-D
For this challenge I made a card, I used yellow and gold acrylic. The black circles and splatters are Indian Ink. Of course I also used Color Wash through a Crafters Workshop template. When I stamped the sentiment, I pressed to hard, hate when that happens. But I made it work for me :-)

Don't you just love this new stamp of Stampotique. It's such a sweetie and can be used for so much more than only Christmas. I thought the sentiment fits it perfectly, it's an old one I found in my stash.

Stampotique Challenge: Hanging Decorations

A new challenge at Stampotique. Sam challenges us to make a hanging decoration for the home. She says that our art shouldn't be hidden away in draws or boxes but shown and shared with everyone, and she is so right about it :-D. When I saw this frame at Xenos (Dutch store), I thought it was perfect for the challenge. I made a little family portrait for it ;-P
