In My Pocket Challenge

Hello!

Week 2 of the In My Pocket Challenge (here) and this week we're `coining it in'! Dont know what came over me but I've gone a bit morbid for this challenge!

I've used 7 Gypsies `morocco' paper to cover the front and I've put on a grungeboard skull and cross bones and then drawn in the gallows.



Then inside at the top I've used another 7 Gypsies paper to decorate it with and then printed the text `Money for Old Rope. Apparently this saying comes from the old days when there were public hangings. The hangman was supposed to keep the rope but apparently he used to cut it up and sell it to the crowd - nice!!! Anyway, I attached a bit of old rope (well, string!) and then below are my coins along with a very sad looking face! I said it was a bit morbid didn't I!!!!



Hope you like it and thanks for looking xxx

The Sunday Stampers - Man Oh Man

Well I managed to join in with the The Sunday Stampers challenge this week (just in the nick of time!) and the theme was to make something with a man on it! I made a card this time using a paper artsy stamp that has lots of men on! I covered a blank card with paper from the 7 Gypsy Morroco Journey pack. I swiped some white card with my milled lavendar distress ink and stamped the image with my very favourite vintage sepia versafine pad (I really must get another colour of versafine - I love this pad cus it picks up all the detail but it will run out soon at the rate I'm using it!) Then I mounted the image on some dark card and decided to put brads into each corner, but I didnt like it so I took them out and threaded fibres through instead and then mounted this on to the card. Thanks Hels I enjoyed doing this challenge :)
