Through my window

This is my new fairy stamp from Lavina, I seem to have quite a collection of them now!
Created the background with peeled paint and scattered straw inks, added some branches around the edge with peeled paint, then stamped the fairie and spinning Jenny's in black versafine. The window is made from a fisker's template that I downloaded a while back from one of the magazines web sites.And the verse popped in to my head whilst I was stamping...... daft but it made me laugh!

Bah Humbug Embossing Challenge

One day I will learn to scan my pictures in straight !!! I'd forgotten I had the Reindeer stencil, it's one of Nellie Snellens from a couple of years ago. Embossed the Reindeer, cut them out, added the eye's and shiny noses. I embossed the card with cuttlebug's snow folder, and added some Christmas ribbon to finish it off. The ribbon looks wonky in the picture, but I promise it's not, honest.

TIO 33 Alternative Spring

Here's my offering for the challenge this week. I've been playing with fired brick and antique linen ink pads to create a background. Stamped Anna Griffin swirls stamp in fired brick then stamped Elusive Images spring stamps in versafine. Coloured the flower in with pro markers and added some Tim Holtz distress crackle paint around the edges. Once dry I rubbed over the cracks with heirloom gold perfect pearls, which doesn't show up very well in my picture.
Red is so not Spring.......

Bah Humbug Challenge

Like everyone else I have a drawer full of these!!!!!
Coloured them in with my pro markers and just added a " Merry Christmas" from Craftwork Cards.
See you next week Elizabeth xxx

TIO 32 My Favourite Film

A Favourite film and book of mine, Chocolat! These are the new Elusive Image cup cake stamps, made them chocolate flavour with crystallised violets on top with the help of my pro markers! The cherries are from the same stamp set again used pro markers to colour them in and then Anita's glossy to make the chocolate shiny. I distressed the tag with brushed corduroy, added the text and then finished off with some of Mum's gardening string. Made my self hungry now.........

Rainbow Lady's Challenge 96

In my garden I can see.................... many little critter's as our house is in a conservation area backing on to Phyllicrochan Woods, and also, we bought it from the man who owns the local zoo!!!! (I don't dig too deeply in our garden!!).
The rockeries are filled with tiny little mice, and I like to sit quietly outside watching them play. It makes me think of Brambley Hedge!
I have had a play with some of the thing's I bought at the NEC yesterday, so I've used my new Nellie's Oval frames, which I think are very pretty, and also the Meadow Flower's stamps by Joanna Sheen. I inked up the honeysuckle with stampcraft colour brushers, and then finished off with pro markers and also adding a couple of extra leaves with an Anita's morsals leaf or two. Not a gem in sight, although I am thinking of adding some glitter to the honeysuckle........ just a smidge!!

Bah Humbug Challenge

At long last I find myself with some "Me Time" and have made my first entry for the Bah Humbug Challenge!!!!!! Have to confess to being a very quick card though, these are the images I bought to do this year's "quick" Christmas cards, I thought it would be fun to put a recipe on the front, (haven't tried it yet, so don't know if it works!). Printed off on to 160gsm text and graphic paper, and then inked around the edges with brushed corduroy ink pad. Not a gem in sight...
