Some more challenge entries from me

Hello All,

What a dreadful weekend weather wise, nothing for it but to stay in and craft ..... my pal, Kathy, came round and we faffed about on the computer for a while (over coffee) and, once she'd gone, I headed to the craft table .... and here's what I came up with .....

I used the following:-

• Fancy white card blank ... 5" x 7"
• The flower stamp from ink-N-Rubber Expressions.
• Alcohol markers to colour.
• Matted and layered  onto pink card stock.
• White ribbon with a lace middle through which I threaded some bakers twine, to give it a different look.

I want to enter this in the following challenges:-

1. Simply Less Is More - challenge No. 234 - Snippets challenge
2. Pixie's Crafty Workshop - challenge No. 187 - Snippets challenge

Onwards and upwards, on a roll - I made this ......

  

I used the following:-

• Square white deckle card 
• Stamped holly around the deckled edge Impress green ink.
• Stamped the Santa image in the middle 
• Stickles to highlight

Sunday and a new Challenge .... to me!!!!

Morning all.

Well this will be a first for me, I am hoping to enter a few challenges with the makes below ...... wish me luck!.

The stamps I used on the card below were

• Anita's. The other two were Hero art Stamps
• I stamped the large flower, made a mask to go over it
• Stamped the feathers over the top
• Then the stamped the small flower

Again these are free stamps from a magazine,

• First I stamped the holly leaves into the deckle edge.
• The little tree came next.
• Then father Christmas and his sleigh

Male birthday cards

Afternoon. I always seem to fail when it comes to male cards. I found these two stamps and thought they were great. Using pro markers I coloured the images in, [ Not sure about motor bike colours] I mounted it on brown card.[ A snippet] Then bakers twine to make a cross. Again I coloured with pro markers Backed in brown card [another smippet] I used check ribbon to make the cross.

Brushos

Afternoon all
                        When I went to the work shop on Saurday I was really taken with the brushos. I had played with them when Kathy the day came over and I like them and after the workshop with Barbara Daines on Satureday I was hooked. So again I really had to add them to my  stash.
They arrived this morning. The colours are so great and cannot wait to play. I brought the starter kit and it has in it. Ultra Marine... Purple.... Dark Brown.... Black.....Yellow....Turquoise...Leaf Green..Lemon...Scarlet...Brilliant red...Emerald Green... Orange.

Some cards i have made

Afternoon all I few more cards that were made a couple of days ago. Wanted to do some new cards today but mojo has gone walkabout so if you see him please send him back to me.

yesterdays work shop.

Afternoon everyone. Had a lovely day my friend Kathy and I went to a work shop with Barbara Daines.I really had a lovely time I was not sure as it was the first workshop I had attended. We worked with Brushos and also did some work with Bleeding Art Tissue. I found it interesting. We also worked on a canvas and not really sure about that. Mind you it was the first time so maybe more pratice. My canvas. My tags The backgrounds My card

more Topper cards

I have been using up some of my stash and have found a lot of toppers that I thought I would use up. I also have packs of backing papers. I have had these so long am not at all sure where they were brought from. You all know how it is when you start, you go into a buying frenzy and buy everything you think will be good. Then you change how you work and then are left with all this stash. So though I cannot throw it out so will use it up so I now have a lot of cards. Some I am sending away and they are going to be sold for charity.

topper cards

I have been sorting out my craft stash and have found lots of toppers so thought it would be a great idea to get some of them used up. I still have some more to use and will do that some time. It seems a pity that they are just sitting there in a box. I used different stamps to stamp the background to give it more than just a white backing
