Be True To Who You Are

Never a true word said ! A couple of months ago I was so lucky to win three stamp sets from Sam Poole through Creative Expressions. I love the art journal style of these.

To make this card I created a background with Cosmic Shimmer Mists. I stamped the fairy onto different papers and paper pieced the final one. I stamped on the dress and overstamped the background with a texture stamp from the set and the quote.

WOYWW - Not enough room but fabulous backgrounds!

Well there is not much space for a start on my desk at the moment! I haven't entered WOYWW for quite awhile, but after spending so much time at my desk yesterday as the weather is so bad I thought I would show you what I have created. I spent yesterday playing with WOW! Embossing Powders, Cosmic Shimmer Inks and Bead Dazzles to create these pieces you can see here. I also tried embossing some Mulberry paper and spraying with inks which I love.

A Winter's Scene

I've been a bit behind on my blogging lately being so busy with card orders and it has also been half term for my little one. Anyway here is my entry for Craft A Scene's Challenge which is Winter. I used the Polka Doodles set of Be Neighbourly stamps. I created the background using three shades of blue Distress Inks applied with Inkdusters, Cosmic Shimmer spray and Perfect Pearls powder mixed with water.  The snowflakes were embossed with WOW embossing bright white powder and I used a snow effect paste to create the snow.

Try it On Tuesday - Peel Offs

At Try It On Tuesday you had to use Peel Offs on a tag this week. First I sprayed a tag with Cosmic Shimmer. I put the peel offs onto acetate and then sprayed the back of the acetate with glitter spray. I added mini bells and fibre to finish. It's easy to forget to use your stash of peel offs, but there is some great inspiration at TIOT.

Magical Worlds

The theme at the Sir Stampalot blog this month is Magical Worlds. I love anything to do with fairies (hence the name!) so I used a Personal Impressions Fairy stamp, and foliage from a Creative Expressions set. I first created the background using Ink Dusters and Distress Inks. Then stamped the silhouettes. I finished off by adding some Cosmic Shimmer and glitter.

I am also entering this into the Rainbow Lady's challenge which is Some Enchanted Evening.

Autumn Trees

Well I survived my first craft stall and made a bit of a profit so that was good, have booked in again for next month. So now its time for some blog challenges!




Tuesday Taggers this week are looking for projects with an Autumn theme. So I made this card. I brayered the background with spice big n juicy then stamped a tree from the Creative Expressions set in Adirondack ink. I highlighted the image with gold, scarlet and white gel pens and dusted over with cosmic shimmers. I added in the fence with a promarker and the birds.
