Hot hot hot

It's time for bathing and beach life...

... these beauties come directly from the sizzling Seventies...

"Soleil." - Masculine or feminine?

Give the poor chap a chance.

Not that these ladies do... So all we can wish for them is:

Shine on - you are beautiful

This series was inspired by a few challenges into which I would like to enter:
TioT: hot colors
Lunagirl: Retro Summertime
Stampotique: SDC205 stamped background using household materials

I started with cards cut from a yoghurt container. The background color was unified first with some orange ink, then stamped with bubblewrap and the insides of paper rolls in red acrylic paint.

1960's Retro

Try it on Tuesday's them this week was 1960's retro. We like to think 1960's as fun - but perhaps it was not a fun period for those who lived through it. What makes it fun for us: think of the riot of colors, the unabashed joie de vivre and consumerism, the psychedelic fabrics, the fashions going from prim and proper in the beginning of the decade and ending in "anything goes, preferably hippie".

I am more for prim and proper this time.

                                                            "Here comes the Sun."

Self-made background with stencil and paints, some stamping. Woman cut out from 60's sewing pattern. She is wearing yellow 3D studs. Win-Win with red sun was a transparent clothing tag, contemporary though, but very much keeping with retro style.

Also entry for Sunday Postcard Art challenge that has Stencils as the theme.

Thanks for looking!
