Good Morning, hope everyone is ready for the weekend, whatever you have planned. Lets hope the weather is kind.
I picked up a couple of new stamps at Sir Stampalot this week........well more than a couple if I am honest, needs must and all that and I do have an upcoming class and demo day to consider.........
I fell instantly in love with this lovey scene forest scene CRR 123 from Stampendous which I stamped onto gloss cardstock using stayzon, then used a versamak pen and clear embossing powder to highlight the tree trunks, houses and tiny trees. I added a little watercolour to the roofs and small trees then brayered using the lights end of Big and Juicy soothing sunset. The embossed areas resisted so I could buff up to make them show through the brayered colours.
The image is Molly Blooms MB00341, one of the new Christmas range recently released by Sir Stampalot. She is coloured with the same B&J inks and decoupaged. The frame is a Nestie and the DP My Minds Eye. This card is for the following challenges:
Crazy4 Challenges - Fall
At Allsorts this week Helene would like us to play Bingo. This is a new theme to me but it has been great fun to work with.
Two cards from me, the first following the 'flowers, lace and tag' row on the Bingo board and using what I think is an Inkadinako stamp......no codes anywhere.....which is stamped and coloured with Aquamarkers and Copics. The DP is Cosmo Cricket and the poinsettias are made with punched from red vellum.
My second card follows the 'flowers, pearls and ribbon' row. The image is Rachael Anne Miller, coloured with Copics and cut our on Nesties. The paper was provided to the DT by this weeks sponsor Robyns Fetish. This card is also for the following challenges:
Totally Papercrafts - Autumn
This week at Polkadoodles, Ruth has given us the theme "Something Spoooooky". I so hoped someone would come up with this one as I love the Halloween section on the new CD Sundaes of Seasons. I'm not big on Halloween usually, but this CD changed all of that, thanks Nikky.Don't you just love the witch ? I enlarged and printed out some spooky trees onto an A4 piece of cardstock, then decoupaged the witch, toadstools and leaves to make a scene. Created an arched window from acetate and added a couple of dangling spiders. This card is for the following challenges:

$ fab cards Brenda - especially like the top one which is a winter scene but looks so warm at the same time.
It was lovely to meet up with Jane - I'm sure you'd love the Port Sunlight show if you ever get the chance. I think I'll be giving the NEC a miss this year but you never know - I could change my mind if things haven't bucked up on the housing market by then.

Whenever I think i cannot learn anything new or be inspired further, I am surprised to note I am wrong, these cards are so individual, and each has its own quality x the acetate card has gone down on my "To do" list, as I got given some scrap acetate from presentation folders, and they would be perfect for this x Leigh x
Great makes. Enjoyed them all.Thanks for joining us this week at SCD.
