Memory of Africa

We recently went on a cruise which ended in South Africa and we have lots of fabulous memories of our time spent in Africa.
This card for the challenge at Happy Little Stampers is a reminder of that fabulous vacation.
I made a circle aperture mask and brushed it with various shades of Distress Inks before stamping the Tim Holtz silhouette tree using black dye ink.The sentiment is from an old wooden stamp from Sir Stampalot. I distressed the edges of the sentiment card with scissors before mounting on foam pads. 



Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.
Our summer has been really busy looking after grandchildren, which was great fun but extremely tiring... maybe soon things will get back to normality!

  1. Such beautiful blending, Chrissie ... it wonderfully captures the colour (and heat!) of the African bush ... the silhouette is fabulous against it! Anita :)

    1. We did do a safari Kylie, but it was in a game reserve rather than in the wild!
