Silhouette ATC

The challenge this week on Wednesday Stamper challenge blog is silhouettes. I made this ATC by brayering the background, and stamping my own heron silhouette stamp. I used a black pen to extend the design to the top of the ATC. I edged the card with a black marker, job done.

Perch card

The challenge on Daring cardmakers challenge blog this week is fish and/or frog. I made this card using a print of a perch that I had previously painted. For a background I painted a little lake bank scene. I cut the scene out as an oval and edged it with a peeloff once it was adhered to the card. The fish was adhered using 3d foam pads and the card was edged with black distress ink and finished with peel offs.

A bit late.............

I know this is a bit late, but last weeks challenge on Art Creations Friday was to use this stunning background paper. I have used it to make a simple skinny. The weeds were added with Galaxy marker and the fish were hand drawn onto holgraphic silver card.

Coffee and Cream

The theme for rubber stamped ATCs on CSF this month is coffee and cream, and here is my offering.................yet another outig for the butterfly and flowers I'm afraid!

Tag...............

This is what happens when I tidy my desk!! I found this little strip of lovely grunge paper and couldn't bear to throw it away, so I made this tag, again using some butterflies which I had previously made using fantasy film and crystal lacqeurs and my butterfly stamps. The tag was finished off with flowers that were drawn on using Adirondack pens.

Buttefly card

Still playing with my stamps, and my cuttlebug..

Two more swirls cards

I am still playing with my swirls stamps, this time using them on square cards. I again embossed them, and cut around them. I lined the card with nice paper onto which I also stamped my butterflies and dragonflies, which I cut out and adhered to the front. I also cut out some corners from the same paper, using the cuttlebug.

And more..................

Tall swirl cards, made in a very similar fashion to the last two :)

Swirls cards

At last I have found time to play with my new Swirls stamps. Having stamped and embossed them using some cosmic shimmer powders, I cut around the swirl to give a more interesting front edge to the card. I then made an insert using patterned paper. Using my cuttlebug, I cut and embossed some butterflies from the same paper, and attached these to the front. The green card also had a strip of the paper and peel offs added to finish, whereas the purple card had a couple of bindis and a hand written greeting added.

ATCs

I had a little bit of Creative Impressions paper left on my desk, so I thought I'd make a couple of ATCs, I used another of my swirl stamps and a couple of stckers from the same range as the paper. the edges were again distressed with inks.

Dog FB page

I have joined a Fat Book list on Craft Swap Forum, which involves making a dog page and a cat page. This is my dog page, I have used a couple of my own stamps, which are available from my website And the edges have been aged with distress ink.
