Sunday Stamper challenge - Numbers

Well as Father's day is almost upon us in the UK and because I'm still in my masculine phase I decided to make a tie :D  Don't seem to see many men wearing them these days but my Dad always wears one if he's going somewhere ' important'... which could just be the pub... or shopping with Mam but he does suit his shirt and tie wherever he is going.

I'm entering my tie for Hels Sunday stamper challenge which this week is 'Numbers.   Probably didn't mean numbers in the way I've used them but hey ho... I've done numbers all the same :D

I used stamps from Crafty Individuals... did a bit of masking and also some colouring with Distress Inks. 

Thanks for looking.

Sunday Stamper challenge - wings

Catching up with a few challenges now I'm home and I had to take part in Hels'  Sunday Stamper challenge which is 'Wings'.  This seems to be a really popular theme with everyone lately and I'm glad cos I just adore things with wings... butterflies.. birds... fairies...oooooer  gorgeous :D

I adore the new chipboard shapes from Crafty Individuals and I love the way you get double for your money if you cut around the outer shape once you've pushed out the chipboard pieces... you can then create more frames of different look and size... cooooool.   I am also addicted to the Crafty Individuals butterfly stamps...they are just so delicate and all sizes so there is always one to fit what I want to create.

I've used alcohol inks to decorate the frame and the paper behind is one of the ones that Patty kindly sent me when I won her fab giveaway... I don't know how she created it but it is even more gorgeous in real life.. all coppery and shiny... wonderful.

Thanks for looking... be back tomorrow with another challenge... heh heh... mojo in full swing right now...'n'... I'm not knocking it :D

Sunday Stamper challenge - red

Well I'm in a right pickle today... my hard drive it seems is failing and.either needs repairing or replacing!!!!  A message popped up on my laptop to tell me to backup everything before my hard drive fails... I could have cried especially as I only bought a new hard drive a couple of months ago.  I just can't bl**dy believe it (pardon me french).  Thankfully I have my old faithful but it is so slow you can eat a bag of crisps while you wait for the next page to load so forgive me if I don't get round to visit you as much.  Thankfully I can upload some crafty bits and  they will post automatically over the next few days until I sort out what I can do.... and get in touch with who I bought the hard drive off with a few carefully chosen words :( 

Anyway on to happier things and my crafty bit for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge where the theme is 'RED'   oooooh tis my favourite colour of all time and I would dress in it from head to toe if only I wouldn't end up looking like a post box...lol

I love this adorable stamp from Paperartsy especially the cute little door which I added glossy accents to cos I adore the dimension and shine it gives.  Just adds that little bit of special to something flat :D

Thanks for looking

Sunday Stamper-week 100

Well I had a fab time with Chriss but back to normal now... not the same having anyone to play crafty with :(  Still guess I can't be greedy... we had a fab few days (Thanks Chriss) and had lots of fun. 

I decided to have another entry into  Hels Sunday Stamper challenge... cos she has some fab prizes up for grabs.  You only have 'till tomorrow if you want to take part :D

The background for this Stampotique fairy was created with Tim Holtz distress inks and I doodled with white pen... before and after stamping.  I love doodling it's sooooo relaxing but sometimes I get carried away and forget to stop..lol

Have a great weekend all.

Sunday Stamper-week 100-free as a bird-plus MEGA candy

Congratulations to Hels on the 100th Sunday Stamper challenge...whoohoooo.  This weeks theme is 'free as a bird'  which means you can do ANYTHING including things with birds...lol  The challenge is sponsored by The Artistic Stamper and The Stamp Attic so there is a fabby combined prize of £30 to spend on goodies... how cool is that!!

I stamped a Time hanging for my entry and oh boy this should be my Mantra cos there are never enough hours in the day for me :D

I used my new fabby lace stamp as the background for this stunning closed watch   ... love the detail of it...

I stamped this watch face on the back and again to mount on my background and put this image from Lisa's altered art inside...

I finished my hanging with two other stamped watches stamped onto Basicgrey paper.

All stamps are from The Artistic Stamper.

Hels is adding another prize to the fund if she gets 100 comments and is also giving away her artwork for this week which is amazing.  You can also enter as many times as you like and the challenge lasts for two weeks.... so what are you waiting for :D

have a great day

Sunday Stamper challenge-silver

I wanted to use this cute triple frame hanger and my squirl stamp from The Artistic Stamper for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge.... so I did... cos I could and I used my gorgeous Lake Mist paint dabber to cover the frames....

I wanted to do modern for a change too so I used the stamp three times in stazon on a distress inked background and rotated it for each picture.   Easy peasy but i love the effect.

Ok so I know the question is.... where's the silver.... oooops... it's in the hanging...lol

I know a bit of a cheat but you can't blame a girl for trying :D

Have a great day

Sunday Stamper challenge - Lace

Almost missed the Sunday Stamper challenge this week where the theme is 'Lace' but then remembered I needed to make something for my Sisters'  Birthday.  I don't have any lace stamps so I had to go with the touchy feely stuff :D

It seems like an age since I made a card... blimey it was strange making one yesterday it really was ...cos most of the stuff I have been doing is smaller.  I also decorated a jar to put some choccies in... better than a boring box.

I couldn't resist this digital stamp when I saw it... I howled with laughter.... she is from Mo's digital pencil.  The scroll stamp and letter stamps (on the jar) are from The Artistic Stamper.

I wrote inside the card.... "You can SULK all you want but you will STILL be another year OLDER" lol 

Well if you can't have a laugh with Sisters... who can you laugh with and anyway it tickled ME :D

A bit more lace and touchy feely stuff on my jar and I topped it off with a flower made from Basicgrey paper and green distressed inked paper.

Be back tomorrow with something special.

Sunday Stamper challenge 97

This is the first time I have joined in with the Sunday Stampers challenge but this fab new stamp from Crafty Individuals fits the theme this week which is "Birds".  I stamped the whole image with Stazon and then coloured my background with Distress Inks adding droplets of water afterwards to remove some of the ink to create this gorgeous delicate background.

I then stamped the whole image again cutting out the bird segments seperately and water coloured these with various Distress inks and my trusty water pen (which I couldn't live without...what a fab tool it is).  I then added these segments over the originals with 3d foam pads.

I had originally intended to turn my finished stamped piece into a card but then I decided I liked it too much to give away.... so I distressed an Ikea photo frame which had a perfectly sized mount for my birds and now it's gonna take pride of place in my kitchen where I have decided to have my ART WALL...lol

Well I've started now so I am gonna have to fill it...lol   It will be nice to just pop in and look at my wall for inspiration when I need it... instead of having all my pieces tucked away in folders and containers and it will be sooooo colourful... which I love :D 

Have a great day
