Believe, wish, hope

Hello Peeps, scheduled posts still so hoping Blogger is behaving. It's time for our  new challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where our themes are 'Anything Goes' and 'In the Garden'. As always there are wonderful prizes to be won at both. 

Starting with my PB&M creation, I started with a Distress Ink background of Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemon and Twisted Citron, I then stamped the lovely Jubilant PB stamps which I always think looks very much like a Hibiscus. Then I stamped it again, coloured in with Spectrum pencils and cut out to decoupage. Some stenciling to the background and the words which are computer generated.

I bought this Visible Image stamp set a while ago but being unwell for so long coupled with a missing mojo it only recently saw ink. I started with a whiteboard tag which I covered with gesso and then several colours of DI followed by a spritz of water to blend the colours.  Next some random harlequin stenciling then the images stamped with Versafine black and some seam binding.

The same stamp set again, this time onto a Brushop background, the images stamped with the same ink as above and I used a stencil to ground the horses, I've no idea the make of the stencil or how to describe it really, sort of random streaks of lightening.

And a close up of the decoupages flowers.

And one more using the beautiful new Garden Gems stamp along with a pretty old wood mounted one from PB called Time. As usual I inked the stamp with Distress Markers and spritzed with water before stamping, added some harlequins using a stencil and DI and a few gems here and there.

I really hope you will join in this months challenge ans do pop over to the challenge blogs to check out the inspiration from my teamies.
