Altered Playing Cards - G and H

I'm falling very behind with the Altered Playing card challenge at Maremi's Creative Cafe, the challenge has reached the letter M and I've only just finished the letters G and H, the words we were given are gears and hearts/humming bird.

On the background I stamped and embossed the Paperartsy gears with gold powder. The Deep Red flying man was stamped onto card and cut out. I added some metal gears..

I used a Carabelle Studio heart mask and distress ink on the background and I stamped the Stampers Anonymous flower and coloured it with distress ink. I embellished it with a couple of small humming birds and some sequins.

Inchies

Hi everybody, it's a beautiful bright morning here, a good start to the weekend - let's hope it lasts.

It's a long time since I made any inchies so when I saw that the UK Stampers had an inchie swap I decided to join in. We had to make six inchies and the theme was Anything Goes.

The backgrounds were made from card scraps.

Stamps used are
Carabelle Studio - hello
Paperartsy/Zinski - little monster
Clearly Impressed - dream
Finnabair - bubbles and take flight
Inkylicious - meow

Thank you for looking - have a lovely weekend. xxx Hazel.

Good morning everybody. It was a lovely springlike day yesterday and so nice to go out without a coat, looks like it might be the same today.

Today I'm sharing with you a card that I made for the UK Stampers February card challenge, here is the inspiration picture we were given.

This is the card I made.

The background was made by sprinkling some brushos onto a stencil and spraying it with water. I stamped the Stampers Anonymous flower onto the card and water coloured it with inktense sticks. I added the ribbon and matted it onto some mauve card and then onto a white card blank. I coloured three white flowers with the inktense sticks and fastened them together with a brad then I added the sentiment.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely day,

Altered Playing Cards - E and F

Good morning all, today I'm sharing two playing cards that I've made for an altered playing card alphabet challenge, the words we were given are Eclipse and Folk Art.

I used Infusions, Magic Color acrylic ink, white and black markers for the Eclipse card.

For the Folk Art card I use a Paperartsy cat stamp and a Finnabair butterfly stamp, the flowers and leaves were doodled and I used watercolours to colour the card.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look.
