FANTASY STAMPERS CHALLENGE BLOG 

HAS ARRIVED

At last Fantasy Stampers has arrived. Good luck and best wishes to my good friend Jan Brown who is venturing into blogland with her own challenge blog. I am so thrilled to be part of the Design Team.  Jan has decided she would like to have more members on the DT, all you have to do is to join in the challenge and add DT on your entry.  For the first challenge Jan has given something which we will all enjoy - Your Favourite Stamp. I have so many so it wasn't an easy choice for me to choose, but poppies are one of my favourite flowers. I do love this stamp so decided to make a card and to decorate a candle for a small present. I used the Faux Silk/Linen technique on the card.  I look forward to visiting the entries during the first challenge, we are hoping to see many of you popping onto the blog and  would welcome any comments on the challenge blog and of course on own blogs.

Twinchies Challenge 3 Music & Lyrics

Thanks to everyone who has left me a comment on my first entry to the Twinchies Challenge  HERE . As there is no limit to entries and the challenge closes next Wednesday, I thought I'd enter a second time with a lighter and brighter Twinchie. The music is from a La Blanche stamp and the little bird is a £1 Twinchie stamp from Inkylicious. Coloured with Time Holtz Dusty Concorde and Stormy Sky Distress Inks. As I was colouring it the tune from South Pacific went through my head, 'When ever I feel afraid, I whistle a happy tune' and so on. Hence the lyrics I chose. 

CAS - Wings

For the next two weeks at Addicted to CAS Florence will be hosting her challenge for WINGS - you have such a wide area to choose from wings.  For this challenge we are being sponsored by 

For my card having decided on my colour choices, I matted a piece of blue card onto a white square folded card, next I added a white square of card. I punched out a 3" circle with a punch, or a die could be used. I then blended Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn TH Distress Inks to form the sky and grass. Sprayed with water,  after a few seconds dabbed with a dry wet wipe, which creates the dispersion of the ink. I used a leaf tapestry peg stamp in two colours to form the leaves and a flower tapestry peg stamp in two colours to create the flowers. The bird from Inkidinkado is stamped with Tuxedo Black from Memento. The flying birds are from a set by Inkylicious - Trees. The circle was added with 3-D stickers to the main card. i love the effects we can achieve with Distress Inks. I look forward to visiting your entries, I am sure we will see many CAS variations of WINGS.  Above all enjoy crafting.
