Things with wings


Hi everyone.
Todays card features a beautiful butterfly that I stamped onto vellum and embossed with white detail ep. My background was coloured with distress oxides and I used a stamp with water to take off some of the colour. I added a lovely verse and also some pearls for the body.

Challenges
Allsorts #483 - things with wings
HIMCR #368 - pastels
Sweet Stamping - keep things neutral
Bizzy Becs Store Challenge - a/g
Butterfly Challenge - I have used embossing powder and embellishments

Thanks for your lovely comments and have a great week

Heavy Metal!



Hi everyone.

First of all a very warm welcome to my new followers, MaryH and Susan. I hope you enjoy your visits

Today's card is an experiment to see if I could print a digi stamp over a distressed background, and I was happy to find that it worked quite well. I cut an oblong from a spare piece of card and used it to mask a frame while I coloured the inner oblong with di's. The digi is one that I have had in my files for some time, and I can't recall where I got it from. I have trimmed the bottom with some musical tape and added a key for embellishment

Challenges
Allsorts #482 - music
Southern Girls - use some metal
Creatalicious #146 - a/g
Mod Squad - a/g

I'm late! I'm late!


Hi everyone, it's good to be back, but time is running out for some challenges!
A very warm welcome to my new followers -

Charlene 'White Deer' Heathwood and Mia

My card today is a simple style for a guy, and I have used a new DarkRoom Door stamp that I bought at a recent Craft Show.
I stamped it twice so that I could raise the lens part, which makes it more realistic. The 'smile' is stamped in silver and I outlined it with a white paint Sharpie

Challenges
Rubberdance - black and white + 1 (my green base card)
CardzTV - a/g

ink transfer


Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog
Today I am sharing a mixed media wall art that I have made from a kit.
The big white butterfly is done with the transfer method of printing on wax paper, then laying the image face down and rubbing, to transfer the ink. I have used various other stamps direct to the gessoed base and added some flowers, stencilling, butterflies, and some turquoise colour randomly

Challenges 
Paper Artsy - transfers
Southern Girls - a bit flash

casing Monica!

 Hi everyone.
I am just sneaking in at the last minute to join in at Stamplorations 5th birthday bash!

This is Monica's design that I was so impressed with!

 

 This is my take on it using a Kaisercraft stamp, and the warm wishes is an unknown brand. 
I cut it out with my Stamplorations die (which I always have to adjust as US sizes are different from ours) and layered onto some DP and then onto a white card base

Challenges
Stamplorations - casing designer Monica
Addicted to stamps - black and white
