luxuriant moustaches

I mentioned in my last Stampotique post that I was itching to colour in these cheeky monsters, so that's exactly what I did for this week's project.


I love the idea of boring beige coloured monsters sprouting (or maybe they dye them, maybe it's all a ruse?!!!) fantastically coloured moustaches.  The inspiration for the background came from a paper gift bag ...


.. so I started by pasting down strips of brown paper then added some simple pencil lines.


I used watercolour paints to add colour to my monsters ...


... and created some coloured strips of watercolour paper whilst I had the paints out.


After colouring my monsters and cutting them out, I stamped them a number of times so I could cut out the moustaches.


There was a lot of fussy cutting involved with this page, but then, that's ideal when you've got your feet up post op!!

Stampotique Stamps used:

"French Journal Page?!!!!!" I hear you ask?  Yes, it's on there, can you spot it?

TMTA: Fly...

The theme over on 'Think Monday Think ATC' is 'Fly' which I think this little rabbit would really like to be able to do, but she's settled for collecting honey on this 'bee-yooo-tiful' day :)

Wednesday Stamper: Fairy

There was no way I could resist this week's Wednesday Stamper challenge!! I love fairies and this beautiful one was a purchase at Port Sunny.



The stamp is a canadian one from Enchanted Hollow. I painted a patch of white acrylic onto an envelope, stamped the fairy and added colour with watercolours before embellishing with scraps of paper and diamantes.

ps Oops, just been over to the website to provide the link above and there are some really, really gorgeous fairies. I feel a shopping spree coming on!
