CD Sunday Challenge - Just for You

Thought I would have a change from pretty cards and do a slightly sinister one for a change.
The image is from Baby Love CD from Joanna Sheen. I embossed the card behind the image with black and mounted it onto a piece I had stamped with the spiders web from Lavinia Stamps. The final layer is stamped with a crackle stamp from Judikins. I have used DI Shabby Shutters and Old Paper.

Hope you like it - I had fun making it! Please feel free to leave a comment, they are most appreciated.

Bah! Humbug! #25 - Less is More

I have used my new Christmas themeplate from Crafty Individuals for this tiny 4 x 4 card.

I cut an aperture with Labels One nesties and stamped the image on a separate piece of card and mounted it behind. The tree and baubles were decorated with Sakura Stardust pens and sparkle beautifully.

I do hope you like it and please feel free to leave a comment - all are appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #110 - Art Deco

A lovely challenge this week and it has given me the opportunity to use this Oyster stamp that I have had for ages and never used.

The image was stamped and embossed in black and then coloured with Memento Desert Sand for the background. The detail was coloured with Marvy brush markers.

The brown backing paper (looks grey here) is by Gina K and the flowers by Floradoodles.

Thanks for dropping by and please feel free to leave a comment, I appreciate them all.

DragonsDream TIO #45 - 3D Metallic Mode

I have had great fun making this week's offering and got extremely inky into the bargain!

This tag is mainly made of embellishments made of alu tape and alcohol inks mounted onto a base which has been stamped, inked, cuttlebugged and dusted with Perfect Pearls.

I think there is alot of mileage in using alu tape (DIY kind) as it is quite strong, flexible, takes alcohol inks really well and can be punched. If you are very careful, you can unpeel the backing and stick it down onto another surface. Burnish it with your finger and it will take on the shape of the surface beneath. The stamps used are butterfly (MS) birds and branches (Stampin' Up) and flowers (Woodware).

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment as I appreciate them all.

CD Sunday Challenge - In Full Bloom

Having enjoyed watching the Scissor Sisters at Glastonbury I succumbed to a bit of scissor therapy for this week's challenge and went for decoupage.

The CD I have used is called Floral Fantasia by KraftyHands and is full of floral gorgeousness and lovely backing papers. There are five layers to this image of old roses and wasn't too tricky to cut out.

I added a satin butterfly trim which I coloured to compliment the roses (not showing up on the photo folks!)

Hope you like this, I enjoyed making it. Please feel free to leave a comment - they are all appreciated.

Bah! Humbug! Challenge #24 - Father Christmas

Just a simple, vintage card this week with the requisite amount of glitter and ribbon! This says Christmas to me and I never tire of this type of card.

The backing paper is by Papermania.

Hope you like it too and thanks for dropping by.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #109 - Ice Cream

Neapolitan is one of my favourite ice creams so this was easy! The image is from a template I have had for ages and never used before as is the backing paper - both are from Stamptv. The image is coloured in with pencils and OMS and also Marvy Brush Markers. I have used glossy accents on the raspberry topping to give that shiny slipperiness of melting ice cream.

The sentiment is a Janet original and is handwritten with my new best friend a 0.1 black fineliner. The jury is out as to whether I should have done this on the computer instead.

Enjoy the hot weather and eat plenty of ice cream!
