Art Is (DT) Dies To Die For

  Hello peeps, hope you are ok.  It's been a bit of a damp start to the weekend, but actually, I really don't mind.  It gives me a great reason to park my ample behind at my craft bench and get inky without feeling too guilty!

I seem to be having a phase of extra CAS cards at the moment, and here's another one

Colorado Craft Company - Art Is.... stamp set ccc-AJ503

Colorado Craft Company - Art Is..... die set ccc-AJ504-D

The cute little squirrel in the portrait is a separate stamp within the set, and I could not resist stamping him onto the easel to be immortalised by the rabbit.

This is a large stamp, and I found it difficult to get a clean image with a traditional block, so you might want to use a stamping platform for this one.

Main image painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers), terrible grass done with Polychromos Pencils

Blimey

BTW, the new MFT release, including the first Vault Release of Birdie Brown stamps, is now in store, if there is anything left by now that is.

Squirrel! (DT) Dies To Die For

Hello peeps.  I'm hoping you can hear me this morning, there is a very loud rugby match in the background today!

Now that autumn is here, certain little critters are out

gathering nuts ready for the coming winter months.

Looks like this one is expecting the worst!

MFT Birdie Brown - Squirrel!  BB-75

MFT Birdie Brown - Sweet Birthday Wishes  BB-78

CC Designs - Create-A-Scene  CCD-0148

MFT Stencil - Mini Cloud Edges

There were a lot of Post-It Notes seriously harmed in the masking of this one, and a lot of watercoloured Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Oh dear, it has suddenly got all shouty behind me, and not in a good way (who thought a Welsh ref for an England game was a good idea?)  I think I may take my own stash of nuts and make like a squirrel!

SQUIRREL! (DT) Dies To Die For

Morning all, here I am again, with some furry little critters for you!

When this set was being previewed, Tracy said to me that it had my name

written all over it, literally, and she was soooooo right.

It also makes me think so much of cuddly Doug in Pixar's "Up".

SQUIRREL!

MFT Birdie Brown - Squirrel! BB-75

and the matching die set is Squirrel! MFT-1574

MFT 6x6 - Painted Prints Citrus

and that is it, simple but sweet - stamping and masking, and a generous sloshing

of Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Dies To Die For (DT) Fluffy Hanging In There

Hello peeps, are you ready for the start of a (UK) three day weekend, yaaay!

I started a new job a month ago, well, when I say new, I mean I have gone back to a firm that I left 14 years ago.  It has been sooooooooo strange, the building itself is so familiar (even the carpets are still the same), and there are still a few old faces there, but I'm having to learn new people as well as a new-to-me IT system!  I think I may be sleeping a lot of this weekend.

Anyhoo, it's been a while since I hoiked this family member out of the darkness, so I

thought it about time he (or she) got inky again!

So, the things I have used from the Dies To Die For store are

Whimsy Stamps/Wee Stamps - Fluffy Hanging In There

MFT Clear Stamps - Sassy Pants Best Friends CS-334

Sunny Studio 6x6 papers - Flirty Flowers

Sunny Studio 6x6 papers - Gingham Pastels

Fluffy has been watercolour painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers).

The Sunny Studio paper is double-sided and it is such lovely quality - that purple background is one sheet, I simply cut it in half and flipped one piece over.  I have used it a lot and need to restock for myself!

Anyhoo, have a super weekend, whatever you are up to, have fun

Hugs
