Miss Anya

It's some time since I posted, don't know where the time goes. Here's a card I made for a friends birthday. I love the Anya stamps and here's one of the newer ones.

Chrimbo Owls

These three owls on this branch just make me giggle every time I look at them. They were embossed in black onto a piece of background card I had leftover from another project. The owls are from Hero Arts and the text is from Carolines.

Spotlight Card

This months technique on the group is a spotlight card. The stamp of Meg in hat and scarf is from Pink Gem Designs and the text is from a snowman set made by Darcie's. This is a quick technique as you only have to do a small amount of colouring. I can't wait for next month now to see what is coming up next.

Serendipity

On a group I belong too we have started a monthly challenge. The month of August was serendipity here are my two samples. The one on the far right I did to use up all the leftover pieces. The stamps were from Innovative Stamp Creations. This technique is a good way to use up all those lovely scraps of designer paper we just can't bear to throw away.

Got Milk?

I must try harder not to let the days pass so quickly without doing some blogging. If only I could find my memory it might be a whole lot easier. Maybe I should set myself an alarm to go off every couple of days to remind me!
Today my card is using a stamp from Crafty Individuals. I stamped the cat panel with Brilliance Chocolate ink and trimmed very close to the border. I attached it to a torn pink panel and stapled a piece of brown spotty ribbon to the bottom left. My next layer is brown and was stamped using a flower from a set by Inovative Stamp Creations, the set is called Friendship. I used the same colour ink as before and just to add more interest I stamped some speckles from the same set using pink ink. This layer was then attached to a square pink card, my cat layer was then attached to this. To finish off my card I stamped a Got Milk saying and attached it to the bottom right of the card.

Aiko

This beautiful stamp is from Judikins as is the Asian writing. I started with a square folded white card, stamped a panel with the Asian writing in Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender, distress the edges and attatch to the left half of the white card. Stamp the word Oriental and punch out, distress the edges and attach to the centre left of the panel. I made a background of thick watercolour paint and stamped the image in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed in detail clear. It was then layered on white and lavender card, all the edges were distressed. The layers were attached to the right of the card, as a finishing touch I used a white pen on parts of the image.

Time Does Fly

It's been a while since I posted, time just goes by so quickly.
All the stamps on this card are from Stamp Camp. I stamped the dragonfly panel with Encore Sweet Dreams rainbow ink, then embossed with stardust embossing powder to add a little twinkle. The main image was stamped using StazOn black ink and water coloured. The wording was stamped and embossed using the same materials as the panel.I used my nestabilities for the main panel and wording, then layered on a white card. Just as a finishing touch I added some punched dragonflies to the panel.
