So here is an ATC for the Theme Thursday Challenge, which this week (well until tomorrow - better late than never) has a Man theme. This ATC is coloured with green and purple distress inks using a spritzer and a brayer. Then stamped with the Harlequin pattern and the ornate borders. The Statue of Apollo is actually on a transparency and I've…
Well, I've been experimenting with chalks. Not really used to them yet but having fun trying them out. So this travel-themed tag with the 'E' from explore was made for two challenges. The travel theme is from Thank God It's Friday and the monogram tag is the challenge over at Tag You're It! Actually, this is my first tag as well. So…
Not been up to much craft-wise this week, hope to get something done this week. I have got a recently made ATC that uses eyelets that I thought I would put up onto the My Time To Craft Challenge blog.The ATC uses K&Company papers with the the heart and key cut out and edged with pink ink pad. The whole ATC was…
Here is a card for the Stamp Something blog. I have a new cherries stamp so just had to try it out. The central panel is white stamped onto acetate overlaid on black card.
This week's Think Monday Think ATC is about your favourite tower. Well, being a Londoner, it kinda had to be Big Ben, didn't it? Ooo, look, look I've been sampled! Thanks guys at Think Monday - Think ATC.
Sweet Sugar Challenges has a great challenge to make something other than a card with Sugar Nellie stamps. So I decided to have a go at a coaster for cups :) So patterned paper has been layered onto a circular piece of chipboard and then sealed with a varnish (to waterproof it a bit). It was fun to do.
WOW there is some fab blog candy up on Little Bird Design blog. And there is an added bonus that the winners will make a card from the blog candy and then be in for MORE candy. How cool is that?
Friday Sketchers posted a great new sketch from guest designer Heidi and here is my interpretation of it. I went for a brown and green palette with distressing inks to age the paper and print the watch and words background on the cream (colour hasn't come out so well in the photograph) central panel. The prominent time-piece is stamped with StazOn onto…
I'm In Love. I'm in love with the Sugar Nellie stamps. I was really naughty and ordered two from Funky Kits :) I just could not resist. Here is Chef Hamish and I thought I would enter him into the Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week, which has a patterned paper theme and a chance to win fab pattern paper downloads from…
Enfys has some great blog candy on offer for getting to over 40,000 blog hits. Well done, Enfys, and thanks for the go at the blog candy :)
This card is made for a boy's birthday. It's funny but most of the babies I know, children of friends and family, are boys. So I seem to be making lots of cards for young boys – at the moment. I thought I would go bright primary colours for this one and add texture through embossing (by hand!) and using corrugated card…
