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.

For A Child

Hello and Happy New Year to you all.

Today at Sparkles Christmas Challenges we kick off our new year

with Challenge # 108 For a Child.

Please check the blog for details and to see the amazing creations

by the design team.

I made a 5" x 7" card, stamped most of the Woodware Stamps 

- Snow Buddies. Coloured them with Promarkers and

lots of snowy glitter. 

A sentiment and holly branches from a 

magazine freebie stamp set. Haver fun.
