You Can't Be Serious!

Good morning and happy Wednesday. I've been having a play with my DecoArt paints and mediums, and Lost Coast Designs stamps.

We have lots of mega crackle going on with Weathered Wood and Crackle paint, lots of background stamping with the LC stamps, and finally a wash of blue.

I am partial to a bit of crackle!

and borders - I love borders, this one is from Lost Coast.

This is a Lost Coast's Medium Elk Skull that's been stamped on to tissue paper and coloured with sharpies.

Then I had a little bit of a 'kitchen sink' moment and threw everything at it. The sentiment is from Carmen's Veranda. If you haven't seen these you really should - you will laugh until you cry!

I'm entering this into the Mixed Media Monthly challenge. I love these colourful flowers against the white background, just like my elk.

I'm also entering it into the Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media challenge which is to use tissue paper, and Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday. 

Have a fun week, and thanks very much for looking x

Take Risks

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday. It's a really grey day here, warm but no sunshine at all - August eh! Happy Little Stampers have an ATC challenge running, and the theme this time is 'doodling' I love to see doodling, but the reason I have more than a few (waaaaay more unless Neil is looking) rubber stamps is that I can't draw, and I can't doodle at. all.! It's no use saying that everyone can draw, and it's only practice blah blah 'cos I really can't.  I did a well known 30 day course, and the difference between day 1 and day 30 was zip, zilch, nada,  noooo difference at all. I have a cup that my son bought for my birthday with a face on it that I drew on a course - you know when something is sooo bad that the tutor has to mutter and move on - well this stares at me every day as I eat my tea. I would show you but it would break the internet...
Anyway what's a challenge if not challenging, so here are my doodles (be grateful it's only ATC size :-)  )

Even Pic Monkey is having a laugh, it's telling me that my 'masterpiece has been saved' The lovely stamps are from AALL & Create, the doodles are all mine lol.
I'm also linking this to Simon Says Stamp Monday's ATC challenge.
Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking xx

Thank You Happy Little Stampers

Good morning and happy Monday. Last month I was lucky enough to win a set of stamps from Happy Little Stampers, and this is what I've made with them.

This is a really nice set, lovely flowers and words.

I started by making a few Brusho backgrounds.

Then I stamped and cut out my flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is also from the same set.

I'd like to enter this into the following Happy Little Stampers challenges.
Watercolour - blue 
Anything Goes with HLS stamps and
Dies - anything goes with die cuts.

Have a very happy week, and thanks very much for looking x
