Autumn

I love autumn colours, and I have made an atc using the lovely Harvest of Memories and Moments in Bloom stamps by Unity, available here.  I inked the background of the atc with Wild Honey Distress Ink and stamped a background stamp, then stamped and cut out 2 leaves, coloured them with Adirondack inks and Glossy Accents and attached to the atc together with one of the sentiments from the Harvest of Memories sets.  
I am entering this for the Autumn challenge on Tuesday Taggers.

W is for Wings

 

We are up to W this week on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme is Wings.   I made an atc for my DT work, using Wild Honey Distress Ink for the background and stamps from Artistic Outpost.  Embellishments are a Tim Holtz doodad and metallic nailheads.

Butterflies and Blossoms

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend, and as it has butterflies and blossoms on I thought I would enter it for the Sir Stampalot challenge this month which is Butterflies and Blossoms!  I used Crafty Invididuals paper and stamp for my card.  I watercoloured the image with Distress Inks, and added some Glossy Accents and Stickles to the flower.  The butterflies are stamped and punched with my Martha Stewart set which I love to pieces!!!

RSS Challenge 19

Well this was certainly a challenge for me!  Ready-Steady-STAMP is up to its 19th challenge, and for this one we had to use pink, green, purple and black, stamped flowers, gesso, the letter M and rubber!  I had a long long search for my gesso, and having eventually found it I couldn't get the lid off!  Not having a lot of strength in my hands due to arthritis and having nobody around to help, I chipped away at the underneath of the lid with my pokey tool and eventually prised it off!  After a lie down!! -  I spread the gesso over my fat book page with an old credit card and made an uneven textured surface which doesn't really show up on the photo unfortunately as it looks quite nice!  When it was dry I inked it with Worn Lipstick and Bundled Sage DIs.  The flower stamps are by Crafty Individuals and I watercoloured them in with DIs, and added Glossy Accents and Stickles afterwards.  The black swirly stamps is also by CI and I stamped and embossed it in black.  For the rubber bit of the challenge, I have to say I wasn't too keen on this bit - so I found a scrap bit off a pink rubber stamp and cut a small triangle to pop in the corner so it doesn't notice too much!!  I edged my page with Dusty Concord DI which I also used to colour the flowers.  Hope it is OK for the challenge!

Hearts

The theme on Small World of Inchies is Hearts this week, so I used a piece of K & Co Hannah paper, stamped a Fancy Pants heart and glazed it with Glossy Accents. Then I managed to stamp a word with hearts on it and added a tiny heart gem, finally eding the inchie with Cherry Pink Stazon that I had stamped the other things with.
