This is my DT piece for the latest TIOT challenge which is brights/seasonal colours. This is a really simple card. I used my new lushious hero art stamp- over exposed trees- and then coloured over it with various distress ink. I will grandly name it "firework tree." like totally warhol darlink!

We would love to see your designs, so please go mental with colour.

I am also entering this into:

ornate

Dearest Minions,

Good morning, this is another weenie card. I had a go at a new technique which is to stamp on a distress ink background with just water on the stamp, wait impatiently for this to dry and then stamp slightly higher on the page over the water made stamp impression. I found the technique by Dawn Bibby in an old craft mag, forget which one.

I really liked how it turned out, I this it really highlights the stamp image. stamp is from stampin' up and the distress ink used is Peacock feathers.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

keep it simple- be inspired
Sister act card challenge- anything goes
Crafty little fairies- anything goes

The UK is due some awful weather, so everyone stay safe. "Let's be careful out there."

an underwater perspective

Dearest Minions,

I have been playing with my Designs by Rynn stamps again and have made the above card using the corner mermaid stamp and the water droplets stamp as a background on the white card. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp, which is divinely fitting for most occasions. Background is made with Dylusions spray inks.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
Inky chicks -your favourite sentiment
Through the Craft room door - anything goes

hello Kitty


Greetings!
This is my latest halloween card I used the Leo image from Horrorscopes from Delicious Doodles. I was luck enough to win some delicious doodlesHorroscope images a while ago and I found it so hard to choose, esp as there are 13 to choose from. 

I coloured the eyes and the tips of the teeth and nails with water colours. Hello Kitty is printed with pen letter stamps and worn lipstick distress ink.

I haven't been crafting as much as usual.. here is why
my chair has been claimed.

I am entering little Hello Kitty to the following challenges:

Digi Haven- halloween -sponsored by the awesome Dilly Beans
Punkyougirl- halloween- sponsored by the most honoured Rick St Dennis
Sarah Hurley challenge blog- Halloween
the sisterhood of crafters -anything goes
