Pink, Pink and More Pink!!!

The challenge theme from My Time To Craft this week is 'Tickled Pink'! 'This week's challenge is - Ticked Pink! So add plenty of pink to your projects!'
So, while I was getting messy with inks for the Sunday Stampers challenge I decided to make some pink mess!! *.*

The large tag's background is a mixture of Pink Brilliance and 'Worn Lipstick' pink distress ink...then the flourishes stamped with Fuchsia Pink Stazon. I have doodled a running stitch round the edge in a pink Gelly Roll pen.
The small tag has been stamped with a Bella image and coloured with pink chalk. I've then coloured Bella with pink Sakura pens, and smudged the edge of the tag with a pink chalk ink pad and again, the pink running stitch. Oooh...and not forgetting pink eyelets and pink organza ribbon!!! ^.^


I hope that my pink tag, on pink tag, will be pink enough for the pink challenge!!! *.*

Flower Power...

This weeks challenge on My Time To Craft is Flower Power!!
'Use flower embellishments, rubber stamps, perhaps floral paper, or anything you can think of to do with flowers.'

I'm actually quite pleased with this, as quite often when I triple emboss, I get right to the stamping bit and it goes ermm...'pear shaped' !!!
Anyway...it worked out ok'ish'! ^.^


The base is glossy photo paper coated with Nick Bantock's Chrome Yellow...( I have to confess I prefer Nick's ink pads for this as I find it dries quicker) ... I've then wiped Jade Brilliance ink across the other way, making a chequered effect and stamped the daisy images randomly over the top in Yellow Brilliance.The topper is made from mountboard...embossed once using a Versamark ink pad and clear UTEE, then Jade Brilliance and another layer of clear UTEE and a final Versamark and UTEE layer. As soon as the top layer had melted I stamped the daisy image into it, having first inked it with Brilliance.I have mounted it onto foam pads for a bit of dimension... added the Happy Birthday words and a piece of yellow organza ribbon to finish it off. I have taken another picture, in better light, as the other one is a bit dark ^.^

Blue 'n' Green Things With Wings....

Hi all... this weeks challenge over at the Papertake Weekly challenge blog, is to use Blue and Green together... and the challenge from My Time To Craft this week is 'Things With Wings' ...I've managed both in one ^.^


I have taken the opportunity to make up a 4x4 fat page for a friend who is poorly x



The background is again glossy photo card which has been covered in Adirondack 'Lettuce' ink and the butterflies have been stamped on top using Tim Holtz, Faded Jeans Distress ink.
The 3D butterfly has been stamped onto glossy card covered with Nick Bantock's Turquoise ink.
