AAA Birthday

Hi all,

Its that time of the month again ... It's the first Monday which means it's time for a new challenge over on AAA Birthday and this challenge #5 is use a stencil! 

I was still in Masculine mood and wanted to play with some happy mail I had ordered whilst I was ill... Retail therapy, good for the soul, not so much for the wallet LOL..

So I created this card by stenciling the stripes in distress oxide ink, I then die cut a circle the same size as my port hole, out of masking paper and stuck it down,  I Went over most of my stenciled lines with distress oxide ink and flicked some water for splashes of sea LOL..

I die cut the porthole and glued it to the MFT circle shaker pouch, added some sequins and balls inside and glued that to the panel.

The anchor was coloured and then fussy cut and I just added some twine to resemble rope, the sentiment is from the Neat and Tangled set - Yo Ho Ho, and that completes my card!

We also have Rachelle joining us this month as our guest designer, so please pop over and have a look at her card and the other cards by our amazing design team! I really hope we will inspire you to join us and play along  and you have until September 29th!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn - Love you tons

Hi all,

So if you've read the previous post, then you'll know I have vertigo today..I'm just drunk but without the alcohol LOL...

These two little elephants have taken ages to colour with my Prismcolor pencils..The Alcohol ink background I did a couple of weeks ago (thank goodness) and all I did was stamp a few trees from the MFT set - Warm and Feathered Hugs.  The sentiment is by Neat and Tangled - Typed Sentiments.

I do love playing with Alcohol ink, what I don't like is you have no real control and knowing when to stop, so I decided that for this scene, I wanted to paint it, it's easier than watercolours LOL..

This was made for a challenge over on Just us Girls - #498 Photo Week

Here's another look at mine

Have you tried working with Alcohol inks ??

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card!

Crafter's Companion - Party Paws - Bamboo

Hi all,

So you all know I had a craft room makeover last week, and yesterday I spent three hours looking for something I had filed away in a new home... oh my, I could tell you were it was two weeks ago prior to the make over... but I finally found it, a little too late, but I did LOL..

Well while I was on the hunt (and losing my mind...) I found a few stamp sets, that I had filed in plastic DVD cases from Stampin Up! one of them was perfect for a challenge over on Addicted to CAS  the theme for this challenge is Daisy..Well I haven't played with this stamp set in quite a while, It must be one of my first ones I bought, way way back..

I've coloured this little cutie, with my Prismacolor pencils, on the eco friendly cardstock, it's just one layer too.  I used all the warm grey's for the panda and just a touch of black.  The sentiment is from Neat and Tangled - Typed Sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the card!
