Regency of the Royals

Connie here, to share a card with you that I created using Artistic Outpost's stamp plates, Loverly London and London Underground.

The images and word art showcases the nostalgia and regal flair of England and it's patronage of the Royal Monarchy. London Underground is a creative works of the "Tube" London's underground railway. Your Altered Art Projects, ATC's, Cards and Scrapbook pages will certainly be amplified in a clever and original style depicting the Regency of the Royals.

The backgrounds on this card were created using Tim Holtz Distress inks and Basic Grey Ribbon Tape.

thank you for Stopping by Shadesofstamping and enjoy this lovely long weekend.

Blogger's Challenge with Loverly London and the Grace of Hats

Connie here and back again to Bloggers Challenge, click on Lisa's Blog and take a tour of all the challenge player's websites. I have been absent from the crafting world for over a year and look forward to creating again and sharing with my followers.
This week's theme is " A Feminine Touch" ...

The history of Women's Fashions, the shift and trends during and after World War ll clearly was a paradigm transformation of their status in society... The hat you wore, seemingly depicted one's status in society. London was a leader in the design and millinery craft of Hats. Can you imagine this era; and, the treasure trove of bonnets and head gear the women of London collected in their closests.
For this card, I designed the background with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist spray. I stamped the altered background with an image from Artistic Outpost stamp collection: Ephemeral Backgrounds. The frame is a dicut from my Cricut Cartridge " Storybook ". The silk flowers are from Prima. The image of the lady is from Artistic Outpost's collection: Loverly London.

The Witches Cauldron

The Witches Caldron
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog"
"Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing"

Like a hell-broth boil and babble"
"Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and caldron bubble"
