Mermaid and My personal Stamp Challenge #22

Hi everyone,

I have made this mermaid card from a Rubber stamp i bought about two years ago from a craft fair i can't remember which stall but it was within a big bundle of rubber stamps for a £5 i think it may have been 'The Rubber Stamp company ' or something similar or Rubberneck comes to mind too, but it is more than likely discontinued know has they were selling off loads of loose rubber stamps.

I am trying to use my actual stamps more as i seem to use Digi's alot lately, I have so many of them but never get round to getting them out..

 

I have coloured her using promarkers. The background is a die cut (Sizzix die) and a Clear rubber stamp (An Old Sizzix Stamp) and heat embossed it green i thought it looked a little like seaweed!  The base card i have inked over slightly with a Chalk ink and then stamped a few fishes faintly ( The fishes are from a Woodware set). Finally i added some stickles to the edge of the Die cut.

I will try to take a picture of all the stamps used asap and add them to this post.

I would like to enter this card into

Thanks Louise

Colours of Autumn..........

Good morning,

Hope all is well? We have just had the tour of Britain Cycle race come through Eastbourne right on our doorstep so that was rather exciting today (saturday when i write this).

Today's new challenge starting over at Whoopsi Daisy is 'Colours of Autumn'. I have used the Digi image from Sheet 431 available for £1.99 from here. You get 4 images on the sheet, 2 of each one blank for you to colour and one pre coloured.

I have coloured her in using promarkers, and the Designer paper is from First edition Hideaway 8" x 8" paper pack, the rest is from my scrap papers. I then die cut a flower and vines from a sizzix die and added a little stickles.

On another note we took the boys to Euro Disney last weekend and we had a fab time, weather was warm and sunny too! The boys got to see their favourite characters and loved the shops!!! The new Buzz lightyear year ride is fab, you get your own laser gun and shoot all the space aliens, we all loved that one! I think i will wait until they are all older next time so we can all go on the grown up rides together.

Anyway better go x

Colours of Halloween challenge.....

Evening,

I am sorry this post is a week late, I had scheduled this but it didn't post so I must have done something wrong, and I have been away to sunny Majorca for six nights, got back today ready for the storms!!

There is a challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy, it is colours of Halloween (black,orange,purple,green).

I have used a lovely image from sheet 243 available to buy from here, it is a sheet with four different images on it.
I printed her out and coloured her with promarkers then cut her out. The background I embossed the purple vellum with a sizzix embossing board. Then attached a black frame over a price of acetate which has a couple of glittered mushrooms on it. And an embossed price of old foil embossed. Finally I added some stickles glitter And some flowers and brads.

I still have a bit of work to get my colouring right, I am not sure if I am using the right card stock.

Thank you for looking at my blog, I would love your comments, thanks.

Vintage/ Shabby Chic....

Hi Everyone,

Today's card is for the new challenge starting today over at Whoopsi Daisy found here.

It is Vintage / Shabby Chic theme this week and i thought this sweet girl from sheet 463 of Whoopsi Daisy Digi stamps ( Found here), was perfect for shabby chic. I have matched her (Pre coloured) digi image with some of the papers from the Debbi Moore Shabby Chic Paris Bookazine, the colours matched perfectly. i used a backing paper, a decoupage paris image topper, and some roses.

Other items i used were some sticky backed ribbon, some resin corner stickers, a gem, i printed a greeting from the computer and die cut it out using a sizzix flower die and layered it onto another die cut shape a Vintage label die from Crafty sentiments Designs. I touched the roses up with some stickles glitter glue.
