Make a Moo or Two - Music

This was quite a challenge for me to find suitable images for this project. I found some paper (no idea who by) with music printed on it. I attached it to the Moo blanks and then rubbed some Walnut Stain Distress Ink round the edges. I found the music-related images in the HOTP book 'Masculine'.

Think Monday Think ATC - Turquoise

This lovely paper comes from a HOTP book called 'Vintage', it's full of really beautiful papers and tags and other bits. The stamps I used are from Crafty Individuals. I added some Papermania Adhesive stones as a finishing touch.

Tag You're It - Black, Lime and Teal

For the tag I used paper from K & Co's Maddison 6 x6 pad. I cut some strips of black card and put some Anita's Sticky Ribbon on them. I don't know who made the paper flowers, sadly, I wish I did. I attached them with Papermania brads. The tag is 3" x 6".

My Time To Craft Challenge - Black, Red and White

This is an ATC. I used one of my favourite Paper Artsy stamps for this one, and coloured the houses using a Marvy Le Plume pen. I stamped the phrase on a piece of red paper. The words come from a large stamp in the same set as the house one. I added a piece of red rick-rack braid for a finishing touch.

Make a Moo or Two - Choose a Theme

For this challenge we had to choose a theme from those used in the past. I chose black and white. Whilst these two may look identical, there are some differences! I used some mountboard for the Moos, some Basic Grey paper, a Studio G clear stamp, and some Papermania adhesive gems and pearls.

An ATC painting

Another Clarice Cliff-inspired ATC, drawn and painted by myself. I used Marvy Le Plume and Whispers pens again. I wouldn't mind living here!

Second Canvas

Again I used a 15cm square canvas and added colour with Distress Inks. The central image, stamped in Brilliance 'Coffee Bean', is a Paper Artsy Mini. I stamped it on some Papermania paper printed with an old-fashioned rose design. I matted it on some gold mirri card. The silk flowers are from packs by Papermania, and the paper ones come from a Prima set called Artful Collage Flowers. They were all given a gold brad for the centre.

Tag You're It - Unusual Shaped Tags

I hope this is shape is different enough. I thought it was quite nice, and the central image went well with the shape. I cut it from off-white mountboard, coloured with Distress Inks, and then added the 3D Anita's stickers. I added an orange eyelet and a piece of velvet ribbon.

My First Canvas

This is a 15cm square canvas. I coloured it with Distress Inks (having spritzed the surface first for better blending). I then painted round the edges and corners with silver acrylic paint, and then painted some at random over the rest of the canvas. The three pictures are from Crafty Individuals' book of Christmas images, and the stars are 3D stickers from Anita's.

Scary!

A Gothic Arch coloured with Distress Inks nd sprayed with silver acrylic ink. I stamped using a Paper Artsy moth stamp, then added a Paper Artsy figure I had stamped earlier. It is coloured with Sakura Stardust pens and Marvy Le Plume pens. I added a Grungeboard crown coloured dull purple and embossed with clear powder. That lady does look a bit scary!

Gothic Arch - Writing

My first time for this challenge. It was to use our own hand-writing somewhere in the work! A potential disaster for me as mine is terrible! I did manage to write a few words neatly on here. They are all about dragonflies and summer. I used some Cosmo Cricket paper and Paper Artsy stamps.

4 x 4 Friday Challenge

This is a piece of paper from a Sarabook sprayed with silver acrylic ink. I stamped using two Faery Song stamps, and added some clear gems. My first try at this challenge.

A Little Painting

This ATC is drawn and painted by me. Years ago I used to do larger pictures like this, based on the designs of Clarice Cliff. It suddenly occured to me today to return to this idea and this is the first ATC. I coloured it using Marvy Le Plume and Whispers pens and my waterbrush. I hope somebody will like this. After not having painted for a while, I am pleased with it.

Sisterhood of Blogging Stampers - Group 22

I am so excited as I have just joined this group! Watch this blog for the list of my new sisters! I have to write a little fact about myself to help them get to know me. Here it is:
I love old ocean liners and collect vintage postcards with their pictures on.
Can't wait for the group to be complete!
