Bloom


Greetings, 

I love my alien plants blooming away, waiting to take over the world and build an army of Alan Titchmarsh clones. The wonderful stamps are from Lavinia stamps, the backgrounds are: green- Brushos and red- sprayed card ( I use a large piece of card under my spraying which then often becomes more interesting than the sprayed items....) the quote is from a French English dictionary.

So I am letting my plants march off towards the garden center in a determined manner via the following challenges:

Vlad the Impala


Greetings,

I have a really horrible virus at the moment so am cheering myself up with a devious pun.  Does anyone else look at stamp sets and see puns? I saw this at the fabulous Inkylicious craft stall at the NEC a few weeks ago. As soon as I saw this stamp the pun was born. The background is made with brushos.

I am letting Vlad charge off at the following challenges:

Sisterhood of Snarky stampers - J is for joke.
4crafty chicks Scenic 
Crafting with an attitude - anything goes

Catnip

Greetings,

This is my entry for the Sisterhood of Snark design team call. I have used Tim Holtz's crazy cats and the indigo blu abstract stamps.
If you have ever seen a cat on going mental over catnip, you'll know how true this image is!

I am also entering this into:

Artistic inspirations - anything goes
creatures and critters - anything goes with colour
craft your passion - anything goes

I saw this on pin interest and thought how excellent it was.
