Gothic Arches Openings Challenge 29th May

I coloured up my base card using shades from the big and juicy soothing sunset pad.
Then using memento tuxedo black stamped the window from Lavinia and carefully water brushed out the ink from the glass. I coloured the window in with pro markers, and also shaded the brickwork a little more.
the edges of the arch were over stamped with an Anna Griffic flourish stamp and the sentiment is from Graphicus.
Finally I edged the bottom of the arch with a left over from a Nellie Snellon frame, and and finished off by adding two dragon flies that I changed the colours of from gold to pink.

Tio Challenge 40 What's on the desk! - what isn't??

Well my desk is quite tidy sadly the table I work on isn't!
These are two of the many stamps I'm enjoying playing with at the moment.
They are from Imagination Crafts and are made by Chapel Road Artstamps.
Used Inkssentials tool to blend shades from the Mountain Meadow Big and Juicy ink pad to the tag, I was originally going to use purples, but keep coming back to the warm earth tones.
I stamped out the image with memento tuxedo black along with a sentiment from another set.
Then after making sure that the ink was dry, I carefully used a water brush to take out the ink from the dragonflies wings. hope you like x

Dreams

Well my hands are now a mixture of cerise, blue and bright green. Good job they are used to my multi coloured fingers in work!
Every now and again I actually use some of Glenda papers rather than sitting looking at them!
Inked up some Clarity card with the waterfall big and juicy ink pad, using cut and dry foam for a change.
Stamped the Elusive Images sentiment and birds on to the inked card and trimmed to size.
Cut frames out of black mirri board with a Nellie Snellen frame and mounted the birds on to them. The border along side of the sentiment is scrap from a frame I cut out earlier.
