I’m at market today and the forecast is for rain (again…) so I wouldn’t really be in the mood for a challenge of any kind, having dealt with them all day long!! I have made these 2 ATCs for the “Charlie Chaplin” challenge set by The Three Muses this week. I used 2 of my old favourite characters from the Victorian Stamp sheet by Home Impressions, mainly because of the Bowler hats! #2 really needs to grow a moustache if he wants any work as a Lookalike!
The frames are a cut down Sizzix flimstrip die and both images are stamped on clear plastic, using black stazon and stitched to the cards. I like that you can still see the background – paint smooshed! I am making inroads into my handmade backgrounds box… slowly but surely!
Have a good day all!

/ September 2, 2009What absolute fun! I love that they’re stamped on clear platic and stitched to your backgrounds. Very creative and artistic, Rosie. Great Charlie look-alikes….although I agree that last one has only his bowler hat in common! Thanks for sharing your process in creating these.

/ September 2, 2009Rosie you never fail to amaze me with your creative endeavours, both of these are fantastic, and if they went into an ID parade i’d say it was the first one ‘who done it’. Tee hee.

/ September 3, 2009Wow! These two superb lookalikes have taken my breath away. Your artwork is so fantastic, Rosie. I love the idea that you went with the look of Charlie Chaplin and not with one of his many well known images. I love thinking-outside-the-box approaches to themes. Standing ovation from me.
