Rush Hour in the Jungle

Today Anne has hi-jacked us to join the Sin City blog hop... the link to carry on through the hop is this 
After a couple of weeks playing with a new balloon die (album in facebook), hot air balloons are still on my mind, and what could be weirder than this wild animal perched on a hot air balloon - "It's a worse Jungle Up Here, that animal is thinking!

Back down in the jungle, That's no pussycat either!

I initially stencilled Woolf Leaves on one side of a sheet of deli paper, and did a lighter wash on the other side, before stamping all the trees on the washed side:

Have some closeups, before you see the whole picture (journal spread)

And the overall look:

All the stamps are from Sin City Stamps - parachuting mice, and some woodgrain stamps as part of the background texture.  Some are stamped on deli paper, some on tissue paper, some on paper towels that have caught the overspray frm other projects, and some are stamped directly on the gesso and painted background.  All up there are 20 different Sin City stamps here, from the following plates:

For Him

Halloween Collection 2

Knock on Wood (I LOVE the face & eye in the woodgrain)

Sending Smiles - love the mouse parachuting in!

Steampunk Circus

Steampunkd

Tree of Life II

To keep hopping, head this-a-way

Athough this has snuck in as an extra post this month, we're still hoping your weird, dark mojo is going to be shared with us in the post just below.
