Stampotique Travel & Vacation

Olivia & Mr Stripes were on the case of a mysterious Vintage Journey!

I created a faux leather effect using the Sheena Douglas Technique using craft card and her embossing folder Silhouette Grasses 
These were coloured with Distress inks, Walnut Stain and Black Soot

The edges of the paper mache case were painted with DecoArt acrylic Burnt Umber and Quinacridone Gold

Olivia & Mr Stripes were stamped onto tissue paper, then covered with a wash of Quin Gold and Burnt Umber
 The tags and labels were coloured with Old Paper, Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress inks


The inside was painted with Burnt Umber and a newsprint paper and the handle was distress too by sanding and scratching with a craft knife


Mystery solved the secret stamps are inside!

    An absolutely AMAZING project from you again, Jools! Each week, you blow my mind at how your mind works to come up with these projects, and you never, even disappoint me! I am a huge vintage fan, so I really like this case. I was really able to know its size, when I saw all those stamps inside! Love, love,love this!

    Completely stunning - the faux leather is just fantastic (and oh dear, I'm going to need those grasses!), and the whole vintage distressed look is so perfectly achieved. Outstanding as always, Jools - wow!
