A Happy Little Stamper!

I am over the moon to be asked to be a Design Team member on the Happy Little Stampers Blog Challenge. This is a new challenge begins today to add to the already popular series of challenges.

The brief for this month is ANYTHING GOES with A DIE. So I have chosen this little card as my first card.

I used the Clearly Besotted Umbrella die and stamp set to create the card. It is such a sweet set! The scalloped circle die is a Spellbinders die. I paper pieced the umbrella by diecutting the shape from patterned paper and then overstamping onto it.

So pop on over to Anything Goes with A Die and meet the lovely new team!

I am entering my card into the following challenges :

Penny Black And More  - Anything Goes

A Beautiful Mess - Anything Goes

Handmade Harbour - I'm on the DT!

I have been a fan for some time of the fabulous digital stamps from Wendy at Handmade Harbour. So I was over the moon to be accepted on her Design Team.

My first challenge with the team is to add ribbons.

I chose the Campervan Stamp and coloured in with Promarkers. I added I Love You to the number plates and then added ribbon to the bunting.

I can't wait to take part in more challenges with Handmade Harbour and I hope you will join me there!

WoW !

Well I am very excited! About a month ago I applied to WoW embossing powders to become a DT member and this week I found out I have been lucky enough to be chosen! I am not just saying this but after using their powders you really see the difference! I thought I would show you the samples I made, before I get set making samples for the NEC show - so look out for more WoW work to follow!

The first sample (Above) I created a background using different types and colours of embossing powders.

This one I created small squares on a painted canvas and used different embossing techniques such as triple embossing and stamping into the melted powder to create different textures.

Finally I stamped and decoupaged a Paint Fusion stamp from Sheena Douglass and used Embossing powder to decorate and highlight areas.
