Paper Casting

So I thought I would try the GPP Street Team Crusade this time. The technique is paper casting. I used Paper Clay which made the process simple. You just take the paper clay and lay it on your mold. Make sure that you press it into the mold to get details. Dry the clay overnight. The mold is a cookie mold from Deemco.

Another peak

Here is another peak at one of my new stamps. It is the stamp in the center of the card. I am still trying to tweak some of the images in my stamp line.

Umbrellas

I've always loved old pictures with parasols. These are from my collection and most can be found in my Saturday Image Bonus posts. This 8x10 project is for the Layers of Color challenge Umbrellas. The quote is The parasol is the umbrella's daughter, by Emily Dickinson
The parasol is the umbrella's daughter,And associates with a fanWhile her father abuts the tempest And abridges the rain.The former assists a siren In her serene display;But her father is borne and honored, And borrowed to this day.

Le Parisien

Skinny Saturday started again a few weeks ago. There is always a great challenge there. I am so glad they are back.

The stamps are from Prima and Cavallini. I just love the new Prima stamps. There are 6 sets in this series called Clear Stamp Crenee. They are wonderful for collages.

Saturday Image Bonus 37

This weekend is Memorial Day here in the USA. According to Wikapipedia "Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed in 2008 on May 26). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it was expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. " In honor of all our soldiers and public servants I have posted these old photos from my collection.
