For the pre-opening 'Tag it on' challenge on Frankie's new blog DragonsDream.
I have used the rest of the acetate I coloured for the previous post, glued onto a chipboard tag; with a Papermania flower, a gem and toning ribbons from my stash, and a little bit of the beaded fringing that I bought at Leicester Market yesterday. I didn't realise I'd be using it quite so soon!
This has been made for the Friday Sketchers Challenge #37
The kingfisher is from Dover Publications '120 Japanese Prints' CD-Rom & Book and the backing papers were made on PSP from the original image as were the plain blue and brown papers. I had some rather unpleasant yellow ribbon in my stash which I coloured with a Copic marker to match the card and the other embellishments were 3 little Papermania brads and a metallic turquoise tassel also from my stash
This is for the Sketch Saturday Challenge; it's taken me all day to make, and I'm still not sure about it!
The image (a stamp from Stamps Happen called Magnolia Floral) was stamped and embossed with black detail powder on dark blue card and coloured with US ArtQuest Stargazers paints and mounted on black silk Mirri board.
The border was made with a Martha Stewart border punch to which I added some pink twill ribbon from my stash and a sentiment stamped and embossed with silver detail powder.
The three flowers are by Papermania as are the brads.
Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the beautiful pearlescence of the image.
This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge and also for Cupcake Craft Challenge.
I only have one Penny Black stamp and this is it. It's called 'Garden Poems' so it inspired the title of the card 'Daisy Dots'.
I started with stamping the image in my favourite(at the moment!) Stazon colour - Stone Gray- and coloured it with Winsor & Newton watercolours. I then attached it to a piece of dark pink Alchemy card which had been embossed using the Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder using four little green brads to make it even dottier. The alphabet beads (which come from the ELC) are tied on with a piece of rainbow cord from my stash -- I was going to put 'DAISY DOTS' but I'd run out of' T's!
The green spotty paper was made with the help of PSP, and the final embellishment is a piece of pink twill ribbon from my stash and three little Papermania flowers and brads. The base card is pale pink Alchemy trimmed to fit.
I made this for the 'This Thursday it's all about ...' challenge.
I used a 'stamp by 'Stamps Happen' called 'Cat in Control' which I just bought in a sale. As a cat lover I couldn't resist it and I think it's really appropriate for the challenge. It was stamped with Stazon 'Stone Gray' and then I had my first attempt at water colouring. I used a Winsor & Newton paintbox with some Cotman Water Colours which I had treated myself to ages ago and never got round to using before.
The image was then mounted on to a piece of black card to form a narrow frame and then on to a piece of backing paper from the Paisley pad by Joanna Sheen and then on a pale orange card.
Embellishments are flowers and brad from Papermania and two colours of toning organza ribbon.
This is my entry for the Sketch Saturday Challenge #33.
I started with a square lilac card, added a piece of pale turquoise swirly paper from a 'Goodie Box' from Kanban to start it all off.
Other embellishments are a piece of vellum put through the cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder, some paper lace from 'paper cellar' on vellum,a sentiment from a freebie from 'Cardmaking & Papercraft', a Papermania flower and brad and a stamped image from a foam stamp by 'La Blanche'.
I think that's about it!
