Whiskers


The same tiny Magenta stamp 'Whiskers the cat' makes up this set of 8 twinchies (2" x2") all stamped on different coloured card in different inks including one of the new Adirondack Lights in 'Cloudy Blue' as well as Versamark.

They are for the challenge at Sunday Stampers and I think I'll probably combine them all as one card topper eventually.

B is for Butterfly


A double challenge here for both Theme Thursday and TGIF is met I hope with another example of my foray into the world of alcohol inks!

This time the colours used for the background are Adirondack 'Stream', 'Meadow', 'Lettuce' and Mixatives 'Silver'. The butterfly, from a set by 'Aspects of Design' by 'The Stamp Man', was embossed with Versamark and Moon Glow EP in 'Fiddlehead Fern'. Some lace from my stash was coloured with a Copic marker and the final addition was a little heart charm from my stash to which I added a little green with a Sakura metallic pen.

A Double Challenge


This is for two challenges and I got the idea to do the two together from Frankie; the first is for Gothic Arches and the second is 'Art Creations Friday'.

The background is a result of my first try out of alcohol inks -- I used Adirondack in 'Currant', 'Wild Plum', 'Cranberry' and Mixatives 'Gold'. The image of the girl which came from Art Creations Friday was turned a little pinker with the help of PSP. The little gold arch tag was embellished with a picture of her secret love and a tiny pink heart and the whole was finished off with a line of gold round the edges and 3 little gold corners. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show how shiny and sparkly it really is.

Cuttlebug Be Inspired #14


And for my second challenge today (and there's no way I'm going to keep this up!) I've entered the Cuttlebug Be Inspired challenge to make a card with your favourite folder.

Well my favourite, for today at least, is Texture and this is what I did with it.

The base is a pale green DL card and at the top I added some K & Co paper which I thought was ideal as the pattern is very similar to the Texture one and I liked the colours. I ran a piece of pink card through the Cuttlebug  and highlighted the embossing in Adirondack 'Lettuce'. Over the join I used a piece of 'Chatterbox' ribbon and finished the card off with embellishments from 'Laura Ashley'.

I think that's certainly enough challenges for today but who knows what tomorrow will bring?
