Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge April - 'Take A Technique' Colour!

Our challenge over at the Craft Stamper Magazine this month is to use colour, so the world is your Rainbow, just no monochrome or dark projects please, bright colours only!!!
I've shaded a piece of IndigoBlu's Perfect Stamping card with Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks, they blend together beautifully on that card. Then using Peacock Feathers stamped the wide lace from IndigoBlu's Nottingham Lace set across the bottom.
The butterflies were stamped onto a piece of turquoise card, cut out and yellow Pan Pastels added to the inner wings.
Both the sentiment and the butterflies are from Kaisercraft.

As always we have a fabulous sponsor, this time around it's IndigoBlu with some of their gorgeous new stamps up for grabs!!!

So we would like to see bright projects this month, you don't have to use the whole rainbow, just please remember to use stamps on your project, leave us a direct link to your artwork, and link back to us at the Craft Stamper Blog for a chance of winning.

Good Luck

Dragons Dream #163 "Z" and a Face

This time at the Dragons Dream TIO Challenge, the fantastic Silvia has chosen the theme "Z" and a Face. My "Z" is "Zen" inner peace, relaxation, and order. Something that I'm not feeling this afternoon, due to a new leak above my desk, yet again!!!!! Who knew so much rain had come down last night :(
My embossed  background has been coloured with a mixture of Pan Pastels and Treasure Gold.
The Lady was in a stamped image swap I did a couple of years ago, so unfortunately I don't know who she is made by. She too has had the Pan Pastel treatment and a little spritzing of pearl mica. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch, which is permanently on my desk.
We would love to have you join in our challenge just please remember to include at least one real stamp on your tag.

Dragons Dream TIO #129 Handle With Care!!

Well here we are again with another challenge. This time it's over to the very talented Silvia who has chosen the theme "Handle With Care" along with an animal and a warning.
I've been painting and drawing again just recently, full circle for me as this is where I started out selling my artwork over 30 years ago. I started by creating a watery background with pan pastels then carefully drew my mermaid over the top. I took out some of the colour using an eraser then coloured in my mermaid again using the pan pastels. The stamp I've used is from Lavinia and stamped out in Tumbled Glass Distress ink.I added a little journalling and the tag will have a new home in the journal I'm working in at the moment with a whole load of fish, seahorses and other mermaids. We hope you enjoy our challenge this time, come over to join in and check out what my fab team mates have been up to, the link is on my sidebar, just don't forget the recipe and at least one real stamped image.
