Pocket Swap

This is a little pocket I've made for a swap I'm involved in. The papers are from Hot Off the Press, the stamps are Stitchels and are available from The Artisitc Stamper, I also used glossy accents to coat the little bird & flower to make it shiny & give it a bit of depth. Hope you like and thanks for visiting.

Lots To Do Challenge Wk21 - Oriental

Alison over at the Lots To Do Forum has set this weeks challenge as Oriental, so I decided to make a tag, I used one of the white chipboard tags - available from The Artistic Stamper website, and applied spiced marmalade distress ink, then blended in some broken china & cranberry inks & then sprayed with glimmer mists. On another piece of card I stamped an Oriental Kimono & coloured it with my watercolour pencils & galaxy markers, I put the kimono onto the tag with 3d foam, then added a ribbon & some gems to finish off the tag. Hope you like it & thanks for looking!!

The Artistic Stamper Challenge - Animals

Jennie at The Artistic Stamper blog has set this months challenge of animals, my entry is a card I made using my distress embossing folder in my cuttlebug, which I then coloured with a mixture of Adirondack inks - cabin fever, stream & stained glass. Then I stamped my lovely ickle dog image, available from Jennies site & designed by Linda Luckin, using black stazon & coloured around him with a sharpie marker, then I edged the card with my gold krylon pen & mounted it onto the card using 3d foam, I then added a few Hero Arts blooms held together with a brad & to finish it off a dragonfly peel-off on velum with some glitter applied & folded the wings up to give it some dimension. Thanks for looking - all comments appreciated.

Oriental Tags

Theses are tags I made for a monthly swap I'm involved in. I used the new white chipboard tags from The Artistic Stamper site & stamped the main image using black stazon ink, then I made a 'mask' for it and stamped a cherry blossom stamp & some characters to create a background image. Next I blended some colours using a variety of Tim Holtz distress ink pads & Adirondack pads - I used cut n dry foam - which I'm not very good with, but trying anyway!!! Left to dry & continued the same process with the 'fans' tag. I covered the reverse side of both tags with some red oriental style papers I've had for ages - unused, of course!!! Then added ribbon to complete the tags. I hope you like them, thanks for looking & all comments appreciated!

My Time To Craft - Pink

Pink is the theme for this weeks challenge, this time I decided on a card, I covered a plain cream card with a lovely vibrant pink paper which I got in a Do-Crafts goodie bag just a few weeks ago, then I made a 4x4 page & created a background using Adirnonack cranberry ink, then added Ranger Siver & Gold alcohol ink mixatives, when that was dry I stamped an image from my favourite set of stamps from The Artisitic Stamper - The Gibson Girls plate, with black soot distress ink, I edged it with a krylon pen , attached to my card with 3d foam & added two flowers with a brad.
