Good Morning!

 

Just announcing the winner of the Fobwatch Claritystamp homework, thanks to everybody who voted.

 

The winner is

 

Lynn Tibbs

 

Well done Lynn, let me know what stamp you would like.

 

I will load the Hot Air Balloon homework in the next day or two.

Splodge Away & the Birdies.

Good evening!
This is another project using the lovely Bird stamps from Crafty Individuals. 
 

I also used a cool aperture Splodge Away Mat that I had Tom from Splodge Away make for me, makes blending through an aperture much easier.

Text stamp is from Claritystamp and Im guessing you know where the Birdcage is from!

Pearly swirls are Cosmic Shimmer used with a Splodge Away mask.

 

This fits some challenges

Pastel Acetate Birdies

Good Morning, little oversight on my part with this post!  It went live at 6.30am with no text just the pics, oops...

This is an 8x8 card using a Splodge A Mask and Distress inks for the background.

I made a small panel for the topper using the faux silk technique, inked & stamped it.

I stamped & embossed the Crafty Individuals birds onto Heat Resistant Acetate, and made some extra leaves to extend the branches, joined them with the little flowers.

The birdcage is Spellbinders.

The 'Dream a Little Dream' banner was made by stamping and chopping the top line of the background stamp used.

And the question already asked in the comment box, how did I colour the birds?  I used Liquid Pearls with a cocktail stick.

Hope you like it!

This fits some challenges too

Kissed by a Brayer...

Good Morning to you!

 

Here is a card I made using the Brayer Kissing technique and some Clarity stamps.

The full instructions are in Cardmaking Essentials magazine with some other projects.

Apologies for poor photograph, my eyes were not playing nicely on the day.



At the Beach

Good Morning

 

Today's card is using the cool Beach Hut stamos from Claritystamp

 

I stamped the huts, deck chair and beach balls and masked them, stippled the sky with a brush, and used a sponge and torn paper for the sand.

Footprints were done with a marker.

 

Have a good one!

 



Altered Pencil Case

Another scheduled post and another of my Altered pieces for Creative Cardmaking.

 

This time its a paper mache pencil case from The Craft Barn.

 

I used Gesso, Acrylic paint, Inca Gold, Stamps from Dimension Stamps.

Ink used, Brown Archival and Stream Adirondack.

I drizzled a few drops of UTEE on the rose to look like rain/dew.

 

See you soon!
