Explorers Book Tag

This fortnights Craft Boots challenge is a bingo theme where you have to choose 3 items from a block of nine to incorporate into your creation.

My Bingo selection was to use - Spots, stars and stripes.

I used a technique the lovely Gabrielle taught us at one of her recent classes called bumping using paperartsy fresco paints.

The tag was made of Kraft card which I lightly sponged in white paint before using sequine waste to bump the spots using Inky pool, beach hut and nougat.

The stars were stamped in the nougat paint once the backgroud was dry.

The stripes were made using the beach hut paint and the edge of an old credit card.

The cogs were from the Gadget gear die which were dabbed with inky pool and nougat before being embossed with black powder with help of my darkroom door stamps Discover, I used the same stamp set and embossing on the Explore statement down the side and Find your way on the banner.

This is especially for my daughter to take away with her as a bookmark on her expedition to Peru and as this is published she should be 2 days into her exciting once in a lifetime challenge.

Enjoy your challenge it will be great to see how everyone puts there set combination together. Bye for now. xxx
