Circles Postcard

Good morning everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend, last night we went out for a curry with friends - had a lovely evening.

Today I'm sharing with you a postcard that I made for the UK Stampers October postcard swap, the theme was circles, I'm also entering it in the Try It On Tuesday circles challenge.

I stamped the Carabelle Studio circles with archival ink onto a gelli print background. The Inkylicious girl with balloons was stamped directly onto the card and I also stamped the balloons onto white card, coloured them with pitt pens, cut them out and adhered them to the card. I stamped the words with a finnabair stamp and added a Tim Holtz word sticker.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely Sunday. xxx

Rainy Day Tag

Good morning everyone, I have a tag to share with you today, I made the tag for the UK Stampers July swap.

For the background I used Infusions and Distress Oxide. I stamped the image with an Inkylicious stamp. I stencilled some raindrops using a stencil with some Dreamweaver translucent embossing paste, unfortunately they don't show up on the photo.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely weekend.

Song Birds

We're having trouble with the internet at the moment, it's been going on and off every few minutes for the last couple of days and it's driving me mad, I'm hoping that it will last long enough for me to get this post done.

I've done another page for the Art Journal Journey  challenge - If Music Be The Food Of Love.

I used a brayer to colour the background. I stamped the birds on a wire and coloured them with pencils, I stamped the bird on the branch and also stamped it onto white card and coloured it in, I cut it out and glued it over the image on the page. I drew the leaves and coloured them in with pencils. I put some tissue tape across the top and stamped the postmark onto card and cut it out. The small birds were stamped onto card, coloured and cut out. I added some tissue wrap at the bottom. I wrote the words.
The stamps I used are
Inkylicious - birds on the wire.
The Artistic Stamper - bird on the branch.
TJ Designs - small birds and postmark.

Thank you for looking, the internet has held out so now I might be able to get some commenting done.

Tags

I'm sharing with you a couple of tags that I made for the Paper Play September swap, the theme was Anything Goes.

For both tags I used a Stampers Anonymous mask and modelling paste, when the paste had dried I painted the card with Fresco Finish paint and  added some Treasure Pewter then I stamped some script with black Archival. I stamped the main images onto white card, cut them out and adhered them to the tags with some crinkle kraft paper. The stamps I used for the main images are Inkylicious.
