Happy Little Stampers ATC - Masculine

Hello, I am thrilled to be joining the Design Team on the ATC - monthly challenges.
I have loved making ATC's for many of my crafting years.
A new challenge blog for me, and a new adventure starting in my new year.
Please join us in our January challenge  https://happylittlestampers.blogspot.com/



I have made a trio of ATC's each ATC was stamped with a
different one third of a long stamp by Phill Martin called
Masculine Paraphenalia.
Heat embossed - resist technique, blended several
Distress Inks.  Decoupaged the centre circle with the stag. 

Anything But Square

Hello, thanks for visiting me. Today at Make My Monday
we begin a new challenge. 
#113 Anything But Square.
Check out the blog for details, don't miss the inpiration
by the Design Team. 
I recently made some ATC's so thought I would for this challenge.
I'm enjoying seeing them making a slow comeback.
I started the background on a Gelli plate (my first time).
Added a few stamped circles, the Dotty Flower by Woodware 
stamps, as are the words stamped - Vintage Inspiration. 
Go on have a go, any shape you like but not a Square.

T is for Try Something Different

Hello, welcome to my blog.
A new challenge at Alphabet Challenges starts today.
T is for Try Something Different (Product/Technique)
Check out the blog for details and to see the inspiration
created by the Design Team.
My card is the result of the first time I have used a
Gelli plate, I used  acrylic inks and a texture stamp to create
the background. 
The silhouette stamp is by Inkylicious - Grasses. 
I used a white gel pen to add dots on the grasses'
tops and leaves.  I made a number of prints, but I have
a lot to learn and need to check up on a few more 
wonderful You tube videos. Thanks to all of the 
wonderful talented tutorial creators.

Haberdashery


Hello, sending you best wishes for a happy new year ahead.
Today, at Cardz 4 Galz we have our first challenge for the new year, 
Challenge #112 Haberdashery
Please pop over for any details and to see the inspiration created
by the design team.
It's ages since I made a tag. Always handy when you're not needing a card,
but want to try out some colouring or stamps. Of course you
 can always add the tag to a card at a later date.
I started by blending Stormy Sky, Peeled Paint and Mustard Seed.
 Edged around with Iced Spruce, splashed water onto the tag, dried with
paper tissue, then the heat gun.
Stamped the Dress form with Antique Dress Form by Creative Expressions.
Added background details with stamps by  Crafty Inspirations Set  #CI 328.
Finally adding the piece of lace, ribbon and button.

Happy Little Stampers - January Watercolour Challenge

Hello, I am thrilled to be joining the Design Team at the Watercolours monthly challenges.
A new challenge and adventure starting in my new year.
Please join us in our January challenge  https://happylittlestampers.blogspot.com/




Here is my card


I stamped the flowers and leaves - using an AlteNew set- 
Modern Anemone stamp and die cut collection.
The stamped images were painted with Mica paint.
The pieces were then die cut.
I splashed the white page with the same purple paint
used for the flowers. Adhered the flowers, 
then added the sequins to the card.
The sweet sentiment  is from the same set.

I made a square card, I used a plain piece of navy card 
to create the dark coloured background.

Sweet Dixie.

Image coloured with Promarkers. 
Have fun, off to search for blue papers and inks.
