SPA - Oriental

Oriental is this weeks theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

I used a gelli print for the background and Paperartsy stamps. The images were stamped onto tissue paper and I painted the back of the face with white paint, they were then glued to the card. You can't see from the photo but I stamped some bamboo [PSX stamp] with galaxy gold Brilliance ink around the edge of the card. I added a charm, some thread and some remnent rubs.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look.

SPA - Asian/Oriental

Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a good weekend.
I'm hosting this weeks Sunday Postcard Art challenge and the theme I've chosen is Asian/Oriental.

I covered my postcard with some oriental patterned paper and stamped some bamboo leaves with galaxy gold Brilliance ink. I found the image in my stash, it's printed on vellum so I attached it to some white card with gold brads. The framed image and happiness character were stamped with black archival. I added the red cord, the punched out happiness character and some metal charms.

Here is a close up showing the gold bamboo leaves.

The stamps that I used are,

PSX - bamboo leaves.
Framed image - unknown.
Happiness character - unknown.

Thank you for dropping by, enjoy your Sunday.

Oriental

I've made this tag for the Tag Along Challenge the theme is Oriental.

I made my tag from some patterned card from my stash and stamped some Bamboo [PSX] with some moonlight white Brilliance ink and then adhered some washi paper. I then embossed the edges of the tag with black embossing powder.  I stamped the main image [Inkadinkado] and word [unknown] onto one of my Gelli prints with graphite black Brilliance ink then matted them onto some black card. I stamped some stars [Hero Arts] onto a strip of the Gelli print. The image at the bottom [PaperArtsy] was stamped onto clear Shrink Plastic with Stazon, after I heated it I adhered it to some of the Gelli print. I embellished the tag with a charm and some fibers.

Faces ATCs

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend.

I'd like to share with you some ATCs that I've made for the Paperplay ATC swap.

The ATCs were made with Gelli backgrounds and I stamped some script [PaperArtsy] with Brilliance moonlight white. I stamped the faces [La Blanche stamps] onto tissue paper and used white ink on the back before adhering them to the ATCs, I then went round the edges with some guilding flakes. The Joy sentiment is Chocolate Baroque and the others are Creative Expressions.

Alpha Challenge - k

The letter K is the latest Craft Barn Alpha Challlenge.
For my page I chose the word KIMONO.

I started by painting the page with Fresco Finish paints, then I stamped the bamboo around the edges. I also stamped some small dragonflies with gold Brilliance ink.
I stamped the kimonos onto white card and paterned paper. I coloured parts of the kimonos with Promarkers and cut out parts of the patterned kimonos and paper pieced them to the kimonos on the card, then I cut these out and adhered them to the page.

More ATCs

Last month at KCUK the ATC swap theme was Butterflies and Dragonflies and these are what I made.

I coloured the background with Brilliance and Distress ink. I stamped some images but sorry I don't know who made them.
The butterflies were stamped with a Hobby Art stamp onto card that had been coloured with Dylusions spray.I cut them out and covered them with Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles. The words were stamped onto velum.

The Voices Spoke Only To Her

I'm a little late this week with my DT piece for Creative Expressions, it's been one of those weeks. 

I made this card with the Studio 490/Wendy Vecchi  Voice of Art stamp set, I also used the background stamp from the Sentimental Art set.

I stamped the background onto vellum with pearlescent coral Brilliance ink, after attaching it to a card blank I edged it with aged mahogany and vintage photo Distress ink.

For the die cuts I used Spellbinders Assorted Leaves, Bird Sanctuary and Fleur De Lis Accents dies.

I embellished the card with lace, ribbon, fabric roses and pearls.

I'm entering my card in The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog  Ribbons and Lace Challenge.

Blue Butterfly

My latest DT piece for Creative Expressions is a card using the butterfly and sweet pea stamps from the lovely Eco Green Garden Chic stamp set.

I started by stamping the sweet peas onto some blue and cream striped paper, I attached the ribbon before matting it onto a white card blank that I'd edged with blue ink. I stamped the butterfly onto a piece of white card and after cutting it out I spread Glossy Accents over it. The ink that I used is Brilliance mediterranean blue.
For the flower I used the Spellbinders flower creations 3 die and floral doily motif die.
I attached the butterfly and flower to the card and added black gems and a blob of Glossy Accents to the centre of the flower.

Favorite Rubber Stamp

This month at Just For Fun it's Neet's turn to choose a theme and she has chosen Favorites. This week you have to use your Favorite Stamp. I have a lot of stamps I love but the one I've chosen is by Paper Inspirations, it's one of my all time favorites. Here are a couple of cards that I've made with it.

I started of by covering a card blank with some Anna Griffin paper then I went round the edge with peeled paint Distress ink and stamped butterflies down one side - I don't know who made the stamp. I embossed some green card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and distressed it with a sanding block, tied some ribbon round it and attached it to the card with some gold brads. The main image was stamped onto some patterned card and I matted it onto some black card befor attaching it to the card blank. The happy birthday is an Inkadinkado stamp.

This is the second card that I made. All the ingredients are the same except that I added a Tando Creative frame that I'd coloured with some peeled paint Distress stain and then I added some galaxy gold Brilliance ink. I also added some Martha Stewart punched Butterflies.

Stampboard Pendant

I made this pendant for a Stampboard Mingle at KCUK and now that Ann has received it I can blog it.
I started of by getting hubby to drill the holes, next time I do anything like this I shall make the holes a little larger. I stamped the image, not sure who's stamp it is, then masked the image before colouring the background with blue Brilliance ink then a little galaxy gold round the edge. The hair and flower were coloured useing Promarkers. I tripple embossed with clear UTEE and on the second embossed layer I added some gold micro beads. After each layer I had to make sure that the holes didn't get clogged up with the UTEE.  After it cooled down I added some jump rings, chain and charms then added the cord.

Tiny Dancer

I have made this tag for the Oh La La challenge at Bella Creations. We were given the lovely ballerina image to use by GECKO GALZ .
I started of with a black tag and for the background I used a freebie paper from Dezinaworld, I tore the edges and inked them with vintage photo Distress ink before attaching it to the tag. I coloured some white material with vintage photo and worn lipstick Distress ink then frayed the edges, I attached this to the tag with some of the white material underneath. I added some pearls and then tore round the edge of the image before putting it on the tag. I stamped some feathers on to vellum with moonlight white Brilliance ink and then cut them out then I attached them to the tag with a flower from my stash. Lastly I added the words and tied a piece of the frayed fabric through the hole.
I don't know who made the feather stamp.

Oh La La Tag

I made this tag for the Oh La La group in Bella Creations
I used a black tag and painted some mauve acrylic paint over it leaving some of the black showing through. It doesn't show on the photo but I stamped some swirls [Penny Black] in silver Brilliance ink. I tore a piece of black corrugated card and swiped the front of it with the silver Brilliance ink pad then attached it to the tag, then I printed the image on to some copy paper, tore round the edges then coloured the edges with some dusty concord Distress ink, this made the edges curl a little, then I attached it to the tag. I then added the lace with some sticky backed pearls, the flowers and some ribbon through the hole. The adore is a rub on.
