Running late again!

Hi I am back again today with an entry for the Allsorts challenge.  Lots of Dots.

I have used a piece of DP for the top section and then stamped onto a snippet of white for the bottom section. Another piece of striped DP with a bow and a white piece with the celebrate set. I made this one for my SIL's birthday

Also entering the Pixies Playground challenge to use snippets

Yee Hah!

Good morning crafty peoples! I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

First of all I would like to welcome my newest followers, Tracy, Donna, Joy, Linda, and Karen. 

Today's card, for a friend's birthday,  features the second set that I bought on my holiday, another set from Art Impressions. This one is called Cowboy Wiggle Wobble

I used some designer papers, cut with my cuttlebug for the background, then stamped and coloured the separate pieces with my Promarkers,

Verdigris

Cadet Blue

Pastel Blue

Caramel

Pastel Beige

I then cut them out with the dies from the set and assembled them together with the provided brads. He is attached to the card with an action wobble, and looks so cute when shaken!

The sentiment is also from the set

Unstamped!

Hello, and thanks for visiting today

This card is for my DIL's birthday, which is tomorrow. I have used some pretty designer paper (sorry, I do not know the maker) choosing the bird box image for the front of the card.

I chose some of the text page for the centre 2 sections and the outer two are plain, but I have attached flowers and a butterfly. I used a die for the Happy Birthday, and also attached another butterfly on the front.

As I can enter the Unstampabelles challenge, I will answer the question - who am I - and say that I am a cardmaker who loves to try different styles

Mica

Hello and thanks for visiting

Today's card was cased from one I saw recently, so this is my version.

I used a piece of heavy watercolour card and painted my 3 strips of colour in an ombre style.

I stamped and clear embossed my flower image, and stamped the sentiment too.

I diluted some Lumiere Metallic Gold (I had forgotten I had these) and did some flicking with an old paint brush. The blob of gold that was left over was diluted with mica powder mixed with water, and lightly brushed over the flowers. Then attached to a black card base.

Luggage tag

 Hello and welcome to my blog.

I bought this set of stamps from someone in a FB group for selling used craft items.

It is Stampers Anonymous 'Time Traveler', and I also bought the Dylusions 'Puddy Cat' set. (See my previous post)
The seller included some DOX backgrounds in the package, so I have trimmed one of them to make the base of my tag. I stamped the luggage with GinaK amalgam ink and clear embossed it. I used the Frayed Burlap DOX to paint with and coloured the handles with a metallic gold Sharpie.
I stamped the word onto a scrap, distressed it with some 'mop-up' ink and cut it into a banner shape. Finished off by punching a hole and tying some string through
