She's a Lady

This is one of the pages I made for the ladies fat book list on Craftswap, I stamped my Hero Arts lady in Versafine vintage sepia onto some cream hammered card and matted it onto some cream/bronze checked paper then popped it all onto a cream hammered card page. I added some Prima flowers that I attached with brads as I love Prima, they're just so useful. All my pages were made in the same way for this list but I used a few different Hero Arts ladies on them.

Hey Mona!

Well I've impressed myself with this one, I think it's definately one of my better attempts at an inky project. This is for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge, the theme is green. I inked a plain white card with Adirondack ink pads in lettuce and meadow and smudged the colours in with a baby wipe. I the used a green Versafine inkpad to stamp Mona and the creativity saying. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the front of the card and coloured it with alcohol inks in meadow, lettuce, oregano and a touch of silver. I used the green Versafine pad to add my final Tim Holtz stamp onto the acetate and clear embossed the image. I attached the acetate with two green brads. I really like the effect.

Party on

Last weeks theme for The Sunday Stampers challenge was party hats, I used my new Sugar Nellie stamp which I coloured in with Sakura pens, I stamped a party hat and coloured that in too then matted it all onto a flower embossed card, it's simple but I quite like it.

Food Glorious Food

This week I was asked to set the theme for the fat book challenge and seeing as this will be a weekend of over indulgence I decided on using food as the theme. Mine are both really simple, the first on I used spotty paper edged with a spotty ribbon, drew a cupcake on the paper and coloured it in with my Sakura Glaze pens and added my wording with the Dymo.


















The second I used an image cut out of a food magaizine as my main feature, added some K&Co Neopolitan stripe paper and some omre spotty ribbon, the words are simply peel off stickers and I added a few pink and chocolate coloured brads to make the background a bit spottier.

Ladette To Lady

I joined in The Sunday Stampers challenge for the first time today, the theme is Laydees so I decided to use my new lady stamps and went all out and dug out my Stampbord ATCs. The ladette ATC I wanted to look a bit rough around the edges unfortunately it was a bit rougher than I intended. The background is a little too dark and I think I singed my embossing powder!! However I'm really pleased with my Lady ATC it's much softer. On both ATCs I used Gold mixative and Caramel, Ginger and Latte alcohol inks to colour the stampbord and edged them with a Pale Gold Krylon pen. I stamped the Rubber Stampede images with a Vintage Sepia Versafine inkpad and clear embossed, they both had Dymo words added and the Lady ATC was finished off with a red Sakura Glaze pen. I loved this challenge and hope to join in more in the future.

Across The Counter Swap

At my local craft shop, The Craft Room, a few of us decided we'd like to swap ATCs. We call ourselves Across The Counter and have a different theme each month. This month's was butterflies so I've had a play with my new flower stamp and an old butterfly one. I inked the images in black Versafine and coloured them in with my Sakura Glaze pens (can't believe I've never used them before now) and inked round the edges with a pink Brilliance ink pad. It's simple but I quite like it.
