Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #56 - Inchies

The new challenge on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges for the next 2 weeks is Inchies (1" square).  I love making these as I think I prefer working on smaller areas than large ones!  These are made on mountboard using Distress Inks, Tim Holtz Doodads and various stamps from my stash.

SFC Challenge #25 - Vintage Christmas

Time for a new theme on Sparkles Forum Challenge, and this time it is Vintage Christmas.  You could win a fab prize of a $10 spend at Stitchy Bear if you take part so pop on over and enter.

For my DT work I altered a beermat using Basic Grey bp and an image from an old Christmas card that I had saved for just such a theme!

MTTC Challenge #166 - Take Two

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Take Two - to use 2 of something.  For my DT work I altered another beermat, and used 2 bps, an image of 2 people, 2 words and 2 sets of 2 metallic railheads.  

SFCC Challenge #10 - Angels

Another month has gone by so it is time for a new theme on the monthly challenge blog, Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenges and this time it is Angels.  We are sponsored for this challenge by Lili of the Valley and you could win a £10 voucher if you have a go.

For my DT work I have altered another beermat (my collection is growing rapidly!) and used some papers by Dovecraft (I think, I am useless at remembering what I've used!)  for the background and image, adding some sparkle and a Tim Holtz Doodad to embellish.


I am also entering this for 
Totally Papercrafts - Glitter It

RRC Challenge #18 - Metal

The new theme on Ruby's Rainbow Challenge for the next two weeks is Metal - to use something metal on our work.  For my DT work I altered yet another beermat for my collection, using bp, a Crafty Individual image, a metal word thingy and embellishments.

MTTC Challenge #162 - Punches and Dies

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Punches and Dies - to use either or both.  For my DT work I altered another beermat - I think I've forgotten how to make cards!  I used some bp with a printed image and edged it with Stickles.  I punched some butterflies and a pretty border using Martha Stewart punches and added a Tim Holtz doodad and gems to finish.

RRC Ch #13 - For The Boys

I'm a bit late posting this challenge due to me not being used to new software on the computer but finally think I've got the hang of it!  The new theme on Ruby's Rainbow Challenge is For The Boys and I have altered another beermat using various papers and images from my stash.

MTTC Challenge #156 - Just Between Friends

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Just Between Friends.  I altered another beermat (I do have a huge pile of them so thought I would use some!) for my DT work and used HOTP and K & Co papers and a Crafty Individual image, adding paper lace inked with Distress Ink and Tim Holtzz doodads to embellish.

Vintage Cards

The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Vintage Cards.  In my haste to get my DT work completed I misread our instructions and made an ATC - which technically is a card as it is an Artists Trading Card!!  I wanted to use old stash up, so used K & Co paper for the background with a little stamping and inking round the edges, and a HOTP image, Tim Holtz doodads, sticky lace, Primas and adhesive pearls - all things I have had for a while!

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.

Brand New Challenge Blog!

Today is the launch of the brand new fortnightly challenge blog - Craft Your Days Away and the first challenge is Favourite Things.  There is a prize of a $10 spend in Simon Says Stamp store with free p & p so pop over to the blog and have a go!  For my DT work I made a tag which I love to make, and used Distress Inks, Crafty Individuals stamps and nature theme - which are all my favourite things!!

Ready Steady Stamp Challenge 25

We had a long list of ingredients to choose from again this time for the RSS challenge, and I went for canvas, egg shells, wings, little girl theme, acrylic paint, pink, lace and glossy accent!  I used some Claudine Hellmuth sticky canvas and stuck it over my fat book page and then painted it with Pink Sherbert and Pearl Acrylic Paint Dabbers.  I stamped a Lost Coast Designs image and cut her out and coloured her with Copics.  I used the egg shell technique down the side of my page and added some pink lace and pearls and brads to embellish.

Faces

The challenge for the month of October on Something Completely Different has been Inchies, and the current challenge for this week is Faces. I made 2 inchies using Crafty Individuals stamps, stamped with Plum Archival Ink onto inchies inked with Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. I them mounted them onto a Moo I had stamped and embossed with gold, then edged everything with Gold Krylon!

Eggs Moo

The theme on Make a Moo or Two this week is Eggs. I found some images of eggs on The Vintage Moth (thank you for the link daisy!) and used some Tim Holtz doo dads and brads etc for embellishing.

A Flower in my House

The theme on Dans Ma Maison Il y a ... is Une Fleure this week. I have used more than one! I covered my house with K & Co Hannah paper, and stamped some flowers round the edges. I added a vintage image and some Primas, ric rac, butterflies and a Tim Holtz Doodad to finish.

Men Moos

The new theme on Make a Moo or Two is Men. I used K & Co backing paper for my moos, printed off some images from Art-e-Zine, rubbed Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the backgrounds, and added some Tim Holtz Doodads and brads.

Fairy Inchie

The theme on InchybyInch this week is Fairies. I inked my background with Broken China Distress Ink, and stamped some flowers, added an image from Art-e-Zine, a Tim Holtz Doodad and a star embellishment.

Moo Cats!

The theme on Make a Moo or Two this week is Cats, so I have used K & Co Hannah papers for my background, stamped a few bits on, and added downloaded images from Art-e-Zine, some ric rak and primas and Tim Holtz Doodads to finish.

Faces

The challenge on InchybyInch is Faces, so I have stamped a boy from my Tim Holtz cube and cut him out and popped him on a Distress Ink splattered background, together with a Doodad!

L for ...

The challenge on Inchybyinch this time is to make an inchie using things beginning with your initial. As mine is L, I stamped some leaves and used a leaf brad, put some lace down the side and used 2 words, Lifetime and Loving.
