Compendium of Curiosities Challenge



Linda from Studio L3 is running a compendium of curiosities challenge and theres a fab prize too. I hadnt looked at the book since i first got it so thanks for the reminder!

This week's challenge is using the water stamping/bleaching technique. And this is the first time I've tried it. I'm very pleased with the result I must say, it's simple, yet you can achieve stunning effects. I added some tattered florals and snaps and a hero arts greeting. The swirl is also hero arts. I'll definitely be trying out more of the ideas from the book.

  1. Anika, this is gorgeous! Very clever to use the waterstamping as the vine and then put die-cut flowers on top of it. Stunning work!!! I'm so glad you joined us, and I can't wait to see what else you create!

    Hugs,
    Linda
