Simon Says Stamp and Show is having a Kraft challenge this week. Initially, I thought "oh I don't use kraft paper" but then a caffienated lightbulb clicked on in my head. You can check out the link to the challenge here: http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/2013/06/challenge-kraft.html
The thought of constructing a little tiki bar had been brewing in my mind for the past couple of weeks. I pulled out the corrugated kraft paper and some Tim Holtz kraft paper stash and went to work. I tend to hoard tropical ephemera, so I had lots of little bits and pieces for decorating. It was so much fun creating my little get away bar. I hope it brings a smile to your face.
Work in progress, check out the cluttered chaos, otherwise known as my desk. My work space is a visual confirmation of my cluttered mind. LOL.
I used the tapered fringe die from Tim Holtz and cut several pieces out of kraft paper. Once attached, I sprayed the roof with heirloom gold and pearl sprays from Ranger.
Here it is all finished and decorated.
View from the side, I tiled the counter with acrylic squares.
Other side, I used a ultracool new wood vaneer paper for the signs.
Love the sign, fussy cut birds Graphic 45 and I used the Cameo die from Tim Holtz but just made it way smaller.
I had tropical drink stickers in my stash, of course every tiki bar needs cocktails.
Thanks so much for joining me on my mini holiday.Laurie the Rogue Stamper.
