It’s A Bug’s Life At FSC This Month

August 14th, 2018 by Shirl - Posted in Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Viva Las Vegas Stamps

Announcement

One of the DT at FSC (Yvonne) is taking a break for September and October’s challenges so if you would like to be a guest designer for these months please mail details and you never know it just might be you as our Guest Designer.

*************************************

FSC wants to see ‘Bugs’ being used in your makes for this month’s challenge and the choice of theme was the lovely Dot’s.

Went into the Viva Las Vegas Stamp shop whilst in Vegas on my hols and OMG what an amazing place. Truly a stamper’s paradise.

Flew on to Los Angeles after 5 days where I bought a Strathmore Mixed Media pad at Michael’s and whilst having some down time in the villa made a very quick journal page with two of the stamps I bought.

The journal page for my bugs piece uses the Butterfly Lady and also Wire Rings.

Bought quite a few Jane Davenport goodies from Michael’s also which I will post at a later date.

Would really love it if you hopped on over to see all the DT’s work as they are simply stunning.

Ink Art Designs Etsy Shop is sponsoring FSC and they will be offering a stamp for the winner of each new challenge.

Nature Theme At FSC

November 12th, 2017 by Shirl - Posted in Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Inkylicious Stamps, Stampin Up, Viva Las Vegas Stamps

For this month’s challenge FSC is going with the theme of ‘NATURE’ which has been picked by my lovely DT teamie Carola.

Made another art journal page for my FSC piece with trailing autumn coloured ivy leaves but check out those legs – how cool do they look?

I have been wanting some Viva Las Vegas Stamps for a while and Dot has now got some in her shop Ink Art Designs.

We still Skype each other two, maybe three times a week and I was soooo excited when she said she was getting these stamps in.

There are many different makes of stamps for you to buy from her shop but I bought most of the Viva Las Vegas ones.

Guess what stamped images you will be seeing in the coming months???

Ivy Wall from Inkylicious was stamped with a Big and Juicy ink pad called Spice, then ever so lightly spritzed with water. It was really a very fine mist because I didn’t want to lose the detail of the image. The ink pad is dye based and works just like DI’s but it has five tonal colours in one, the pad works extremely well with a brayer. Both the Inkylicious stamp and ink pad have been in my stash for years so it’s about time they started to see the light of day again.

Used the bird and leafy branch from a Stampin Up collection called Papaya Collage which is retired now.

Would really love it if you hopped on over to see all the DT’s work as they are simply stunning.
