Hi, it's been a day of sport on the TV today, so I took the opportunity to slope off, and have a play in my craft room.
The background has been sprayed, stamped, and stencilled in pink, yellow and green.
The flowers in the corner have been stencilled with Portfolio pastels. I love the way this goes into peaks when you use it thickly.
All the stamps are by Indigo Blu, I've used the crackle stamp from the Alice in Wonderland plate in the corners.
I inked another piece of card to stamp the flowers and leaves.
Words added to the corner, and all done.
I'm linking this to a few challenges
Indigo Blu, yellow, pink, and green,
Craft Stamper TIMI Spring Flowers,
That's Crafty All things bright and beautiful,
and
The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge - dimension
This was fun and I now have a card made for when I need one rather than having to make one the day before :-)
Thanks very much for looking and have a good week x
Hi, I've been having lots of fun playing with my Alice Palace stamps and DecoArt paints. This took waaay longer than I thought it would, but who cares I was having fun and the ironing can always wait - lets face it it's never going to go away is it.
I've made a flip flop book
Ok so there's lots of pictures now but not too many words (phew)
I started by using an old credit card and DecoArt Multi Surface satin acrylic paints.
Chopped 'em up and added some stenciling with the same paints. I got a bit adventurous with the sewing machine too.
Then I got to work with the stamping.
I know the ducks aren't Alice Palace, but they are by Crafty Individuals.
Lurve these bunnies, and a Robin isn't just for Christmas :-)
Are you still with me, lots more photographs still to go...
A bit of washi tape too on these.
So all my images stamped, time to make the book.
Yep more photographs...
Side one, followed by...
Side two, I know some are upside down but there is a reason...
'Cos when you fold it all up
They are now the right way up.
The front, please excuse the painty finger
And the back! This was such fun to make, the stamps are so cheerful and I loved working with the bright colours AND we had some sunshine today so I could take the photographs.
I'm entering this into the Crafty Individuals challenge which is The Animal World, the That's Crafty challenge which is Wings 'n' Things, the Mixed Media World Anything Goes, and Craft Stamper Anything Goes.
Hope you like my flip floppy book, and thanks very much for looking xx
I'm going to shock you all now with a piece of news, THE SUN IS SHINING! It's still flippin freezing, but it's sooo nice to see some sunshine again!
That's Crafty has a theme of Animal Magic this time around, and I've got some Artist Outpost stamps that have never been inked, so a match made in heaven.
They are from the Vintage Circus set and I've used them with some Graphic 45 papers. I don't often use papers, I love them but then I 'keep them for best' Well 'best' is now! The amount of clothes that have shrunk in my wardrobe waiting for 'best' is ridiculous lol.
My tiger has been watercoloured, and the tickets just stamped in a strip and sewn.
I really love my new sewing machine, it can do so many stitches - unfortunately I can only do straight and zig zag, but today I learned how to wind a bobbin and use the automatic threader so now we have red sewing too!
I hope you enjoy your Sunday, and thanks very much for looking.
I've entered this into the That's Crafty challenge, Animal Magic, and
Artistic Outpost - Anything Goes
The challenge at That's Crafty is Tick Tock, and as my coffee cup now stands on a boring coaster 'cos my Christmas ones have gone away, I decided to make another.
The stamps are both by Stampotique Rabbit, and Timeless, and I've used Decoart paints.
The sentiment pretty much sums up my life :-)
Hope you're all enjoying the snow, and thanks very much for looking x
