Alice's Complete Makeover

I received my new Alice In Wonderland stamp plate today from Cherry Pie, and I had to have a play straight away. The challenge at Wednesday Stampers is Fashion, which made me think of those Complete Makeover programmes. I always wondered what would happen if they looked into the mirror and though Ugh! I recon this is what Alice is thinking as she looks into her mirror, although I think that shade of blue looks rather fetching.
The mirror is from Google Images, and the background is dye inks. The blotches are where I have drizzled glue and then wiped away. How inventive I hear you say - no I spilt the glue I reply, so I had to keep going lol.
A little bit of German Scrap, and the words are from a label maker.
I really enjoyed my little play, and thanks for looking x

Wednesday Stamper - Orange Mark 1 and 2

I always have a look at the Wednesday Stampers blog, realise that I am not worthy, and never take part. However, this mornings post just blew me away and I decided that I must have a go. I've changed my hours at work so have the day off today - it feels like crafting in works time. Won't be as good on Saturday though when I'm going in but that's days away yet :o)
The theme is orange, so I have gone for a sunrise/sunset sort of thing.
The bird stamp is from Elusive Images, and the background has been painted with Ecoline inks, then sprayed with mango Cosmic Shimmer spray, which I got pretty damn quickly when Joanna Sheen got them back in stock.
Last night I went to a Stampin Up demo held by Jo.
This was so much fun - it's so nice to be able to talk crafty talk to people who are still awake after 30 seconds (my family know who I am talking about) :0). You can tell how nice everyone was, no-one mentioned the fact that I had a black eye that would put Ricky Hatton to shame! ( I do jujitsu - obviously not too well lol)
Thanks very much for looking and have a great day xx

You know that saying, if t isn't broken don't fix it - well I just wasn't quite convinced that my ATC was finished (I have such a fear of empty spaces, must get therapy) So I gave it another spray of the Cosmic Shimmer - just because it is sooooo nice, then I added a little Basic Grey rub-on.
I'm happy now, it's all done - I'm walking away.....
really I am.....


Done!

The Wednesday Stamper - Lace

This is my entry for this weeks Wednesday Stamper, the theme is lace. My cocktail lady (lady!! lol) is wearing a lacy basque and stockings. The set is by Bombshell stamps and they are a great quality rubber and stamp beautifully. I've used real lace under the trimming on the bottom, and the rub on is by Creative Imaginations.
I've used a few Dew Drops as champagne bubbles, these are new today and they're my favourites already. Thanks for looking.

The Wednesday Stamper - Openings

The hardest part of the challenge was to find a stamp with an opening, I hope this bridge counts! It's part of a huge 'Stamp Camp' stamp, and I must admit it's the 1st time that I've used it. The number of stamps that I have seen, loved, bought and never used.... lol.
I've stamped, then used ink pads and water to colour in. The sentiment is by Invoke Arts, and the sky has been coloured using Ranger acrylic paints in blue and white. I've also used a white pen to highlight, a red/gold brilliance pad to ink the edges, and lots and lots of Mod Podge to give it a shine
I really enjoyed this challenge, thanks for looking. xx
