Finish it Friday #6

Good Morning and happy nearly weekend!

Another Finish it Friday project then, here we go....

This one is combining two abandoned pieces, the background was done by brayering various colours of Paperartsy chalk paint and then stamped in paint with my Journalling stamp set. I was trying some colours together that I wouldn't normally combine, I quite like this one so I'm. It sure why I put it in the unloved box.

 

The central piece has been in my scraps forever, since I was demoing Angelina film/fibres at all the shows around the country, it just needed finishing so I coloured the corset with Promarker, and added Glossy Accents.

 

What have you got cluttering up your desk then? You gonna go and use it up?

Have a great weekend whatever you're up to!

A rose or a thorn?

Good afternoon

Hope you are all well

Today's card is another Clarity sample from the weekend

This one started it's life very differently, I fact it was almost in the bin.

I was supposed to be making a hanging heart, so I painted it then stamped in Archival, then when I glazed it the colour of the archival changed dramatically and I didn't like it anymore. So I threw it to one side, it ended up sat on this sheet of paper near some die cut swirls and I decided it didn't look too bad if I could tie the colours in together. What do you think?

Clarity Bunny bag...with choccy!

Happy Monday to you!

Did you catch the Claritystamp shows yesterday?

It was lovely to see Amber's creations shown, especially as she has not been rubber stamping much lately, but she now seems all interested in making ATC'S. Thank you to everyone who sent Amber lovely comments!

 

I had trouble deciding which of my makes to show you first....

 

So I settled for this one, i really loved working with these bunnies, just don't tell Milly Posh Paws as she gets jealous...

I stamped the bunnies and glazed them, then added some PanPastels.

I used the letterbox kit with the number kit or the wording.

And you can't send a gift bag without something in it can you, I had to take the Malteser bunnies out of packaging and put in cello bags, so no unauthorised advertising on tv!

The mask used is a Splodge, the paw punch is an EK.

Thanks or stopping by!

Clarity birdies and a Splodge Away bird box!

Ok so its not actually a Birdbox but its a shadow box with Claritystamp birdies!

 

I used the original Jimbo mask from Splodge Away for the frame.

See the little domed Acetate Birdcage in the corner?

I coloured the birds with clear Sakura stardust for a subtle sparkle.

 

Hope you like it!

 

If You would me to do a shadow box tutorial please let me know.

Creative Stamp Friends Special card shape



The Gladness of the Season...

Good Morning everybody!
Im told that this card caused some discussion when Barbara showed it on tv, unfortunately I dont often get to see the shows live but my lovely Facebook friend Pauline Ellerington sends me discs with the shows on so I get to watch at a later date.

I stamped onto Cream stamping card with Expresso ink and coloured with Tan & Caramel Promarkers.
I glazes several stripes with glossy and sprinkled a little Glamour Dust.

The paper is from First Edition, Isabella I think, It matched the Weathered Wood I used to ink the edges of the toppers.

Thats it for today, come back tomorrow for a little giveaway.



Paddington in Mono

Happy Sunday to you! Well you did get an extra hour in bed so it must be happy right?

Actually I woke up and didnt know what time it was, had my phone and the Stereo updated itself? what about the laptop, eventually the penny dropped and I turned the radio on, I can always rely on good old Planet Rock to tell me the time.

Anyways... Here is a card using the Limited Edition Paddington Stamps, I thought I would do a batch of these for Barbara Gray's charity auction as they were so quick and easy to make.

I should also confess that the layout was inspired by Stevie's competition card for Happy Stampers North West (which was a winner) pic below.

Steve's competition card

The filmstrip is a Tim Holtz die. I drew through the windows onto white card so I knew where to stamp, and then stamped through an aperture mask.  I glazed with Glossy Accents.

You may also recognise the Scrabble set from Claritystamp, this set stays on my desk at all times, its so useful.

Enjoy your day, see you tomorrow.
