tmta – “spooky”

meine tmta-karten von heute hab ich für einen tausch auf der gibgummi liste gemacht…
(edit: die stempelmotive sind z.t. auf papier gestempelt, dann auf folie verkleinert kopiert und von hinten mit gesso bemalt…)

autumn glory – again…
ein wahnsinnig schöner tag, gestern (und die vorhersage für heute ist ebenso…) – muss man sofort nutzen, denn schöne tage sind dieses jahr ja nicht so häufig…
ich machte mich wieder auf den weg mit der *kleinen* kamera (die große hat mein sohn dabei, den es heute in die berge gezogen hat…); aber man soll ja die qualität der bilder nicht nach der kamera beurteilen… *g* … speziell beim letzten bild hätte ich mir ein bisschen mehr tiefenschärfe gewünscht, aber ich kanns halt nicht besser;)
we had a wonderful autumn day yesterday (and forecast for today is the same…) – as we are not spoilt with sunny days this year, i immediately took my camera for a walk…
gpp street team: back to back
i had made some backgrounds recently, spraying with various glimmer mists and some stencils (here: felt flower borders)
from my walk on monday i had brought some umbels and made some photographs with these on the backgrounds (more to come in a later post – when i will have more time…)
now when i read about the new crusade i thought i could perfectly use these backgrounds…
printed it out twice (about a-5-size).
on the first copy i started taking the umbel as a base to write… then i took a pink neocolor II and wrote some more text over the page.
stamped the circles (paperbag studios) and lines (gpp), then the insect image on vellum and fixed it on the page with staples and green masking tape (teared at both sides). i LOVE these masking tapes!!
added the faux postage pic and a cancellation stamp. an old text strip in light blue was glued on and edged with neocolor II. another neocolor II for edging the whole page – done!
on the second copy i started stenciling a black crow with an inkpad and a sponge. some stamps added on background. found some weed pictures which i printed in small rows on old ledger paper. glued on air mail label – plus cancellation stamp.
again final edging of everything with neocolor II in according colors. seems i can´t live without them;)
which one do you like better??
are they really different?? seems it´s hard for me to step outside my comfort zone;)
anyway, thanks michelle for the challenge. might do more…
