This is my first ever go at the Crafty Individuals challenge which for August is Bright and Beautiful. Well this piece certainly qualifies for the 'bright' half of the challenge using my favourite combination of distress inks, broken china, worn lipstick, mustard seed and spiced marmalade, plus of course some Crafty Individual stamps - CI 034, 272 and 278.
Decided to do a slide mount flag-tag book but as I only had one slide mount left I had to make my own, colouring them, and the folded tags that hold them with the four colours of ink. The images in the slides are from one of the CI books, and the shrinkies attached to the fastening thread and below the first tag/slide are also CI .
This is the sort of project I love, colour, inks and my favourite stamps, I hope you like it too.
This picture shows the front cover with the shrink plastic image. I stamped CI034 with pearl dabber so it has a lovely shimmer in real life.
This view shows the inside with the four tags holding the slide mounts.
...and finally, the slides, out of their holding tags - they are attached with multi-coloured threads.
I told you it was bright!!!

WOW Ann, that is fabulous! Caz should be proud of the various "takes" on her version that are now coming out. Long live Vicky Stampers.
Thanks for the offer of the "push" but I think the idea is to get me at the top of a hill, for you to jump on the back (Sorrel on my knee of course) and for us to hurtle down. Now that would make a terrific stamp!
Cor you do learn some fantastic things at your monthly meeting :) brilliant !
