Mixed Media With Wings

Over at The Mixed Media Card Challenge the theme is WINGS and there is also a DT Call!

For my entry I used a favourite stamp set which I think was from Inkadinkadoo originally. I can't believe I have never used this particular one.

First I stamped the image onto book printed paper and then used Watercolours and Spectrum Noir pencils to add colour. Some of the areas I highlighted with gold pen. The dots I then applied using a stencil and Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Other challenges I am entering:

CAS Wings

I haven't had a play with products for a long time, so it was good to make something just for the sake of it!

This week at Addicted to CAS the theme is wings, so I made this card by stamping the image using two colours of Distress Ink. I then drew out the colour with a water brush and painted over areas with mica paint. The sentiment reads Live, Live, Love and was stamped in Distress Ink.

Nature with wings

It is very hot and humid here on the South Coast today, but its never to hot for crafting!

"Flowers and Butterflies

Drift in colour

Illuminating Spring"

Today I am sharing another card which I made purely for enjoyment. I bought the background stamp from HobbyCraft yesterday and its by DoCrafts Papermania. The sentiment is from a Creative Expressions stamp set and the flourished from a free set I had from a magazine some time ago.

To make the card I stamped the butterfly background using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, then I overstamped with the flourish stamp and sentiment in Black Soot. I stamped the background again and cut out a butterfly from it, used Distress Inks and a waterbrush and then used Sepia Accents to give it a glossy look.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Fashionable Stamping Challenge- Nature
Dream Valley Challenges - Wings
Craft Your Passion - Things with Wings
Fashionista Challenge - Winged Things

TIO - Winged Things

The current challenge at Dragon's Tag It On is Winged Things. The challenge finishes tomorrow so got in by the skin of my teeth! I'm really pleased with the effect I achieved here with the sequin waste and Distress Ink. The stamp is from an Inkadinkadoo set and I used the Autumn set of Promarkers to colour.

If you have any spare cards with this theme you might want to send them to St Luke's Hospice in Sheffield. They have a monthly card challenge where you send them a card along the lines of the monthly theme and they sell them for their charity. There is also a small prize for the winner. The theme for June is Flying so could be things with wings, planes or air balloons.

Every Inchie Monday - Wings

I have so many things on the go at the moment, so thought I would just make a quick inchie (a new addiction of mine!) for Every Inchie Monday, between other things! This week the theme is wings. I used distress ink to colour the tile, stamped an inchie image from Inkadinkadoo and decorated it with glitter glue.
