Crafty Sentiments - A Recipe

Over at Crafty Sentiments their challenge this week is a recipe, I have already submitted one entry because I think on reflection I have probably proven even though I knew the rules I broke them. This is my second entry to their challenges, though it won't be my last, for I just adore these stamps. I'm not sure how many we can enter in the challenges, but as I believe this one is probably not acceptable I'll just show it instead, now that's it's made. The recipe consists of 

1 stamp or image - done - Crafty Sentiments - Jasmine - Feathers

2 design/pattern papers -done - Boho Chic

3 elements - oops! I flower with Spellbinder die, 1 feather in her hair, 1 set of coloured jewels around the die, I counted this as one  but there are 15 jewels, I guess I'll be banned. never mind I had fun colouring in Jasmine. 

Pink and Black

Over at Make My Monday it is Wednesday, so time for the mid-week inspiration. please pop over to check out the challenge. I made this card also for a Recipe challenge over at Crafty Sentiments . As required I used

Addicted to Stamps # 6

Addicted to Stamps and More are for this week challenging you to be Addicted to STAMPS # 6. Please do pop over to the blog for more inspiration from the amazing design team and for more information. For my DT project I used a technique called - Caught In Crystal - it's an old stamping technique but with a modern twist, as seen on this You Tube video presented by Sheena Douglass.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaAi_cxKMH0   I stamped onto heat resistant acetate with Black Stazon using Indigo Blu stamps, I also used H2Os . The floor polish worked a treat, the results close up are very satisfying. I do encourage you to try this technique I'm sure you'll have fun.

Pink and Black at MMM

This week at Make My Monday it is my turn to choose the theme, I always love to see the vast differences in how people interpret a colour challenge so my choice this week is an old favourite of many PINK AND BLACK no other colour is to be used. For my project I decided to alter an old CD, you know those advertising ones that you often get either through the door or with newspapers.  I painted it pink, then added some of TH Shabby stash papers which I had stamped on with a beautiful La Blanche scroll stamp. I added a few pearls The three ladies have been stamped onto pink paper and matted onto black card. Thank goodness for my crop-o-dile which cuts holes like a knife in butter. I now have a pretty wall hanging to add to my home. Have fun everyone.

Hugs and Wishes

For this week's challenge at CD Sunday challenges which is Hugs and Wishes, I honestly looked at many CDs to find a suitable image, as many as I found, I still returned to The Best of La Pache 2012 for in my mind I had transferred the title to Hugs and Kisses so this felt perfect. Once I realised it was Wishes and not Kisses I thought well maybe it is as equally appropriate for there may be a case of lots of wishes going on here. It is decoupaged, I do hope no one is offended for I found it very amusing. I again look forward to visiting your blogs for I greatly enjoy seeing what everyone has found to suit the title as well as the wonderful creations made. Have fun everyone. 

Addicted to CAS - Code Word is......

For the next two weeks at Addicted to CAS (Clean and Simple)  we are challenging you making a project which is Masculine - anything which you feel fits the Male world. Considering my darling OH enjoys a good bottle of red wine, this is the kind of card he would appreciate, especially if it had a voucher inside for said bottle of wine. The stamp is from Sheena Douglass - Provence. I coloured it with Distress Inks used as watercolours. To get the white light on the grapes I first used a white Sakura gel pen, let it dry, then added the watercolour ink. Have fun, I so enjoy visiting your sites to see your creations.

Vintage at ATSM

Addicted to Stamps and More   for this week the Theme Challenge is Vintage. a chance to bring out all the old vintage type papers, stamps, flowers, buttons, lace, pearls whatever you wish to add to your project.  For my card I started with the corset, from a Creative Expressions set - Vintage Lingerie. Then I wanted to add some lace, buttons, a ribbon until I thought I should stop adding. I think Vintage looks so romantic, so I hope you have as much fun as I did, making your project. I look forward to again visiting you.
