Waiting for the Last Minute

    Hi Everyone,

I am playing along with the Instagram Artpoetry challenge. this week is about shopfronts. I choose THIS by Rob Bentley. I liked the surrealistic feel of it and I thought I just have the right kind of stamps to get the feel across. 

the background stamp and birds are by Lost Coast Designs, the claw is from 100 Proof Press and the sentiment is Dyan Reaveley (Dylusions). I heat embossed the background. The rest I stamped and fuzzy cut. I smudged the card edges with Versamark and did some more heat embossing. Also sponged a bit on the upper and side part of the card in white, gives it more depth, but does not really come out in the picture.


I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
Happy Stamping!

Linking up with:

Deine Karte sieht ja richtig gruselig, aber auch originell aus.
Ich freue mich, dass du sie bei den Nachteulen zeigst.
Viel Glück und alles Liebe für dich!

Now this really is a piece of art. You've achieved the surreal vibe perfectly and the drama is so effective.
