366 Challenge:

Hay everyone
So I decided to join in with Kate Cranes calender journal page challenge this year,
I admired lots and lots of pages all last year so figured why not try it myself this year.

I'm working in a brand new {and my first} Moleskine Sketchbook.

For this month I used distress stains and inks, and some TH vintage shabby papers, the stamps are 'urban stamps' by papermania, and the pens are faber-castell pitt pens and a sharpie finepoint.

I'll be back on Friday with my new DT reveal!! 

Till Then..Stay Inky

Seeing Stars!

And no i've not had a bang on the head!
Over @ Simon Says Stamp'n'Show this week there theme is 'Stars'
I knew i had a Timmy stamp somewhere with stars on,
 and the piece just evolved from there.

I altered a round thin wood box.
The base had some paint and ink before i stamped the stars and scene in stazon.

When you lift the lid you can see hidden stars i added just for fun.

The top was covered with retro grunge star paper and then embellished with a mix of scrabble tiles, dice, champagne glasses and mini red disco balls.

I also printed off a sheet of playing cards from Tim's distressables paper cd,
mounted them on card and inked the edges.
All in all i am quite please how it turned out as it looks nothing like the picture i had in mind to start off with!! Maybe i did have a small bang on the head!! lol
Thanks for stopping by x
Stay Inky

Stickley Bug

While I'm off work resting my knee i decided to use the time to play along and combine 2 of my favourite challenges, 

Compendium of Curiosities 'Distress Stickles' Instructions on Pg 46

and Sunday Stamper 'Jars/Bottles'

I've had this idea in my head for ages but just never had a suitable stamp till now.

I know its probably been done loads of times b4 but i just couldn't resist.

I tried to capture the sparkle of the jar {by artistic stamper} so this is 2 shots, one with, one without the flash, 

 it's amazing the colour difference really {the true colour is more like the top one}. 

I had coated the jar in a mix of glossy and crackle accents, then smeared some faded jean stickles over the top for good measure.

Really making the most of the dymo lately too which provided the sentiment.
Oh and the wire background is also by artistic stamper
Thank you once again Linda for challenging me to use my neglected timmy stash, it's always a pleasure.
