I adore Stampotique Designs, and would love the opportunity to be on the Stampotique design team. To have the opportunity to work with more of the beautiful designs would be wonderful
The artwork is incredible, unique, diverse, fun and quirky! gorgeous too!!

I’ve mainly used mine on paper craft to date,  but I'd love to apply them to more structured projects too

My first piece is taken from my journal and shows the characters I renamed Finnella & Finnulla foraging in the forest! They were looking for their favourite furball fungus!!
I used acrylics as a base and crackle medium. All the images were collaged and coloured with distress inks



My tag is Fritillaria fantasying about having wings like her friend Fabulous Faith Flutterby!
The tag (my first one ever!) was covered with acrylics then modelling paste with stencils.
Stamped with silver texture and highlighted with treasure gold. The images were coloured with distress inks used as water colour, the butterfly body was ribbon wrapped in wire and the wings attached ready to fly far far away!



Halloween Card shows Mary at the gates of the Haunted House where the secret masked ball is been held!
Doesn't she look mysterious & mesmerising in her membrane magnificence!!


Background covered in acrylics, the gate, bat & mask were cut on Cricut, Mary & wings coloured with Promarkers and black soot distress ink.




I hope you like my work, I love altered art and enjoy the challenge of creating unique creations ether to a brief/ theme or my own concepts
It would be an amazing experience given the opportunity to be on the team

I take part in the Craftbarn and Clarity stamp challenges and have recently joined my first Design Team for That Craft Place and I am really enjoying the challenges and interaction.
Due to this I have a fairly new blog only live for 1 month
To view more of my works please look at my Facebook, photo albums and the Creative Showcase Facebook page

Thank you for looking

  1. Jools, a very novel approach to art journaling, and I love it! Stampotique images do not have to be the only focus of an artful project, and your have proven that here! Beautiful project, but, hey...that tag can't really be your first??? It is absolutely awesome! Way to go! Just joined as a new follower!
