I used a 6" white card, stencilled with a texture stencil from Honey Doo Stamps, using DI Scattered Straw. I then stamped Pink Frog Poppy. Painted colour with Koh-I-Noor paints. The sentiment stamp from my stash. Enjoy and thanks for popping by. 

New Home

 Hello and welome to my blog. Today at MTTC (My Time To Craft) Helen has chosen #469 New Home.  Please pop to the blog to see the DT inspiration and for more details of the challenge. 

I used a cream scallop edge card 6" sq. Placed a sq. piece of same coloured card for the backing sheet, the die cut of the letters H O M E x 2 and the little house, which is a Woodware stamp from the set - Three Houses, which indcludes the little poem. The HOME was added in Eclipse style.  I edged with Smokey Grey ink to create shadows and depth. The house coloured with Promarkers and added with 3d foam pads. The flowers and leaves added, made from my stash. 'Best Wishes'  sentiment is a small gold peel off.  I look forward to seeing you entries in the challenge. Happy Crafting.

E(scape) It!

 

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. I have chosen the theme for the challenge #160 E(scape) It! I would like to see any form of a scape, landscape, seascape, riverscape, cityscape, you name you go for it. For more details pop over to the blog and you wwill also see inspiration from the Design Team. 

I have chosen a cityscape, looking from the rooftops. 

A dark blue mat added to a white 6" card. A white card embossed with snowflakes, then lightly coloured with DI Broken China. I added small silver peel offs for the centre of the snowflakes. A stamped and watercolour painted holly corner.  A silhouette stamp of Santa and his sleigh. The rooftops section was first stamped then heat embossed, I fussy cut and decoupaged the stamp, from Sheena Douglass - Bah! Humbug Set 1.  Coloured with Promarkers with lots and lots of glitter added.  Happy crafting.

O is for Outdoors

 

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin another step int Alphabet Challenges, today Helen has chosen O is for Outdoors.   Please check the blog for details and to see the creations to inspire you from the design team.

I created my card using stamps from By The Water stamp set, with the Creative Stamping # 86  magazine. I followed the instructions given in the magazine, but I cheated. Instead of using masking tape to hold down the created image, I created it off the page using a blending mat, then adhered it onto the main body of the card, it was easier for me. Who will be the first to spot  the mistake? 

The bird should be soaring - not diving. Too late to do anything about it now.                 

Christmas Transport

Hello, today we begin a new challenge at MTTCC. (My Time To Craft Christmas) 

 #21 Christmas Transport. Please visit the blog for more details and to see the inspiration created by the design team.

For my card, I tore a piece of paper and placed it at the bottome of the card. I then blended a few shades of blue Distressed inks to cover just over threequarters of the front of the card. I waited a few minute's then sprayed with water over the blue skies, then patted it dry with toilet paper. Removed the white paper.  I stamped the greeting with an old rubber stamp using blue ink. The Christmas transport is nothing unsual but I love this stamp from years ago by La Blanche. Coloured the deer and Santa with Promarkers.  Stay safe and enjoy stamping.

 

Princess

 

Hello, today at Cardz 4 Galz our new challenge is #158 Princess, chosen by Lynda. Please check out the blog for more details, and to see the inspiration given by the design team. 

For my 6" sq. card I have a silver mirri mat, a pink card from my stash. I stamped and embossed with Silver Bells Wow powder  a castle and the two greetings. I glued into position an oval die cut frame. 

The princes and all other stamps are from a set given with a magazine. I coloured her with Prtomarkers and pencils. Fussy cut her and added with 3d foam pads. Have a nice day and please stay safe.
