Acetate with Stampotique

Today is STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS CHALLENGE day again. This time the challenge was set by WILLY and it is to use acetate and boy did I find it a challenge!!!! I'm not sure why but this was so hard! I think some of it was the lack of resources I have here.....did not really have acetate as such......I ended up taking a file folder, putting a piece of local newspaper inside, folding in half and stitching it closed. This was then my background piece that I worked onto.

 Next I stitched an open zip to the acetate panel........painted the space inside the zip with black paint......stamped QUEEN OF LIFE (one of my all time fav Stampotique images) onto card, coloured and cut out and added in the space...

 ....added embellishments.......am liking these paper brollies just now!.......leaf pins and press studs.......large stamped buttons from BUTTON CUBE stitched in place.....

 I like the zip idea, will be using that again!

Stampotique stamps are available in the UK from
