Papertake Challenge

I thought I'd take part in some challenges and this one is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge. I had some lovely new brads which I've been itching to use which matched up well with some new paper from Best Creations so used these as my inspiration. The tiny owl from Hero Arts A4942 was an obvious stamp along with LP140 stamped with versafine black and embossed with detail clear. Owls are coloured in with Sakura glaze pens. The greeting is LL174 a set of four also from Hero.

Penny Black Challenge week 43

The challenge for Penny Black Challenge this week is "Easter" so I thought I would go with yellow as my main colour using this glittery piece of paper I found in my stash. The background for the stamped images has been sprayed with Glimmer Mists lemon zest, patina and iridescent gold. The stamp is Penny Black 3865K from Sir Stampalot stamped twice with versafine back and detail clear embossing powder, coloured with marvy and sakura pens. The decoupaged element has been diamond glazed and stickles added in the centre whilst still wet. Mount and scallop edge cut on the Cricut using Storybook and Plantin Schoolbook. The hatpin made up with pin and beads from (Spellbound).

Stamp Something Challenge Easter

This one is for the http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ challenge. I have used a Stamps Happen stamp 80036 which I've had some time but never used much but thought the bunnies were just right for Easter. Coloured with Marvy and Sakura pens, mounted on some Best Creations paper and finished off with a greeting, buttons and flower and swirl cut from Cricut Home Decor.

Another Judikins

Just one more from the new JudiKins stamps to be launched in tomorrows Stamp Addicts programme.

Coming up on TV tomorrow

Here's another sneak peek at the stamps coming up on Ideal World at 11am tomorrow in Stamp Addicts live show. Stamps are all from JukiKins. The card and mats were cut on the Cricut using Plantin Schoolbook, and mounted on Daisy Bucket paper and coloured with Marvy and Sakura pens.

Adirondack acrylic dabbers

These are a few that I designed for a class a while back using Adirondack acrylic dabbers which come in some lovely colours and dry within minutes. On the pink and monochrome cards I used good old post it notes to mask the pearlescent cardstock (the shiny surface lends itself to movement of the paint) and applied the paint straight from the dabber in swiping movements across the card. On both I used two complimentary colours and then used a fine paintbrush to add random strokes of a darker colour over the dried paint.

The pink card is overstamped with Hero H4464 and the black one Stampendous P107 both using versafine black and detail clear embossing powder. The greeting on the monochrome is Inca 782b and stickles have been added to highlight the flower heads.

The background of the orange card was achieved by using circles to mask the cardstock before applying the dabbers in three colours. I overstamped the whole image with Hero H2365 with Brilliance beige and the main image is Hero F2535 repeat stamped with versafine back and heat embossed with detail clear, then cut into three and matted individually. The greeting is PB 3657C and butterfly details are on an earlier post. Stamps and materials from Stampalot.
