Craft-Room Challenge - Trees and/or Leaves

It's my turn to choose the theme for the latest Craft-Room Challenge and I have chosen Trees and /or Leaves, you can create anything as long as it fits the theme.

We had some amazing entries for the Something New Challenge, I don't envy Debi having to choose her top three.

Our sponsors for the challenge are Crafty Individuals

For my DT piece I made a card.

I coloured a piece of card with Distress ink and then stamped it with leaves and adhered it to a kraft card blank. I wrapped some wool round the top of the card. For the main image I coloured some card with Distress ink and stamped the tree image then I adhered it to the card. I added the sentiment and some metal leaves.
The stamps I used are
Hero Arts for the background leaves.
Rubber Stampede for the background leaves.
Inkadinkado for the main image,
I don't know who made the sentiment stamp.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create, the rest of the DT have made some wonderful samples so why not visit the Craft-Room Challenge blog to take a look.

Faces ATCs

Before I share the ATCs I'd like to thank you for your good wishes for Josh. He's still tender round his injuries but is a lot better in himself.

I made the ATCs for the Paperplay July ATC swap - the theme was Faces.

For this ATC I sprayed some kraft card with dylusions spray and then used a mask and some modelling paste, when the paste had dried I went over it with some gold acrylic paint. The image was stamped on some card that I'd coloured a while ago, I wrapped some gold thread round it before adhering it to the background. The word was done on my Dymo.
I used a Rubber Stampede stamp for the image.

I stamped the face onto white card then made a mask to mask the face. I stamped the background and sponged some distress ink, I then cut the hair from the mask and added some more colour to the background. I removed the mask and made another to cover the ATC leaving the face showing and stamped the spots. After removing the masks I embossed some cosmic shimmer powder round the edge. I used my Dymo for the word and attached it with some staples.
The stamps I used are
Stampers Anonymous for the face image and the spots.
PaperArtsy for the background.

I coloured some card with Glimmer Mist, stamped some script, wrapped some gold thread round it and then matted it onto some black card. I stamped and embossed the image and adhered it to the background and added some gems.
The stamps I used are PaperArtsy.

Every Inchie Monday - Fantasy

What a traumatic day today has been. My poor dog Josh was attacked by another dog this morning and has been at the vets all day. He has lots of holes in his chest and side. I didn't go on the walk today so my husband had to sort it. The owner walks three bull terriers and one of them went for Josh, the other two started to get excited so Ian had to keep hold of them by their collars while the owner got her dog of Josh. My other dog Murphy did a runner so Ian had to look for him but couldn't find him, he was eventually found by a council worker running round the town, this all happened at 6-30 this morning when there wasn't many people about. The vet decided not to stitch his wounds as sometimes dog bites can get infected behind the stitch so he gave them a good clean. He said that two of the holes were connected and when he put the disinfectant in one it came out of the other. The woman hopefully will pay the vets bill - she said she would. Poor Ian has a very badly bruised finger because one of the dogs twisted while he had hold of it's collar.

I was going to post some ATCs that I made for the UK Stampers ATC swap - I mailed them earlier today, but realised later when I couldn't find the photos that I hadn't taken any. I blame the heat - it has nothing to do with age.

So here are two inchies that I made for the Every Inchie Monday challenge, the theme is Fantasy. I've always loved fairies for as long as I can remember so my inchie had to have fairies on it.

I used Caroline's stamps on a scrap of coloured card.

For this inchie I used part of a Rubber Stampede stamp.
