Navy and Cream ATC

Good morning all, I hope you all had a good weekend and have lovely weather - cold and miserable where I am.

Today I'm sharing an ATC with you.

I started by stamping the image onto cream card and then I stamped the crackle round the edges.
I stamped the butterfly and sentiment onto a scrap piece of card and cut them out.
Items used.
Paper Bag Studio - image.
Kaiserkraft - crackle.

Chipped sapphire distress ink.

I'm entering my ATC in the Moo Mania And More challenge - Anything Goes.

Butterfly Tag

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all fit and well and not to wet and windblown, it's still very windy in my part of the country but at least the rain has stopped for the time being.
I'd like to share with you one of the tags that I made for the Paperplay January tag swap.

The background for the tag is one of my Gelli prints. I stamped some butterflies [stamps unknown] with peacock feathers and spiced marmalade Distress ink then I stamped some twiggy things [stamps unknown] up the sides with black Archival and then added some tissue tape to the bottom. I stamped the main image [Paperbag Studio] onto white card and coloured it with distress inks using a water brush, I cut the image out and adhered it to the card. The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and attached to the tag with staples.

Pretty In Pink

Pink is the theme for the Paperplay April ATC swap. I don't usually like pink but I do like the picked raspberry Distress ink.

Background bubblegum pink Dylusions and PaperArtsy script stamp. For the image background I used picked raspberry Distress ink direct to the card and splattered with water, then I matted it onto black card. I stamped the PaperArtsy image twice and cut the flowers out of one and adhered them to the other image. I added ribbon and some gems.

I used the same inks for this ATC. All the stamps are PaperArtsy. I coloured the cat with Promarkers and coloured the stripes with a glitter pen

Again I used the same inks. The main image is a Paperbag studios stamp, I stamped it with picked raspberry and added some beads to the centre. I used a versamark pen and embossed some blush Print Magic Powder around the edge.

Tamp - a - Tile

The first challenge for March at KCUK is to make a card using the Tamp - a - Tile technique. You can see the technique here.
This is the card I made.

I used a Paperbag Studios stamp for the main image, the rest of the stamps were a mixture that I forgot write the makers names down.
I used picked raspberries and peacock feathers Distress ink to colour the card.

Childhood Memories

Another fortnight has flown by and it's time for another Craft-Room Challenge. The latest theme has been chosen by Maria and she has chosen Childhood Memories.
For my project I decided to make a layout using a photo of me and my sister Pamela, that's me on the left. Sadly Pam died very suddenly about 12 years ago aged 50, looking through my childhood photo's deciding which one to use brought back lots of lovely memories.

Our sponsor for the challenge is Tando Creative.

My layout is 8"x8" and I used a dark pink card and Basic Grey papers. The stamps that I used are by Crafty Individuals and Paper Bag Studio. The dies that I used are Memory Box dies and the letters have been made with  the Sizzix/Alterations Chip Block die. I've also used a piece of ribbed kraft card and dry brushed it with white acrylic paint. I added lots of embellishments that I found in my stash.

I'm looking forward to seeing your Childhood Memory creations. The rest of the DT have made some lovely pieces for the challenge, you can see these on the Craft-Room Challenge Blog.

Material Girl

I've made this hanging for the Just For Fun  challenge, the theme this week is fabric and/or fibres. I stamped the image onto a piece of fabric and then attached it to another piece of fabric by using one of the fancy stitches on my sewing machine. I've had the machine for about 27 years and it doesn't get much use anymore. I attached the material to the card then wrapped some fibre round in such a way that it formed a hangy piece. Then I attached some diecut flowers and butterflies and some gems. I attached a metal tag but I'm going to remove it as I don't think it looks right. I enjoyed making this so my poor unused sewing machine may find a new lease of life.
The stamp that I used is by Paperbag Studios.
The punches that I used for the flowers and butterflies are Martha Stewart punches.
For the flourish I use a Marianne Design die.
