New Challenge Blog

Such exciting news girls there is a new challenge blog coming called

Fashionable Stamping Challenges

As you know Let’s Ink It Up decided to close it’s doors because Suzanne the founder is very sick at the moment … hugs and kisses to you Suzanne.
Hope when you feel a teensy bit better you will become part of the team or even a resident Guest Designer.
We already have one of those, Joanna from Under A Creative Spell can’t participate all the time but she will be popping in
every now and again as a permanent Guest Designer.
Just have to design her a logo badge to put on her blog … eh Andrewwwww
Anyway a few of us from the old Design Team were so sad about this … because we love our stamping … so we decided to start our own challenge blog … soooo scary.
My super duper hubby Andrew has been doing all the work for us and if you pop on over here you can see the work in progress.
Marina from Cottage Crafts will be sponsoring the challenges each fortnight … she is even starting her own blog now … this you will all have to see … catch it here 😀
We would love you to leave a comment about how everything is progressing and when the Followers are added
next thing on the list … would dearly love you to follow as well
you never know there might be blog candy soon 😉
We will be having a DT call so if you are interested details will be added of what to do … another thing on the to do list … 😀

Sweet Kiss

Sweet Kiss 1For the challenge this week at Digi Doodles Shop’s Best we would love to see
Clean & Simple

which means less is more … easier said than done when all you want to do is layer up.
In the end I just printed this beautiful picture
The Horse Kiss onto my card and coloured.
Added a sentiment … stood back … very pleased with the look.

Hors1Sweet Kiss

Such a pretty image and oh so delicate, wanted to stay with the softness and prettiness of the image
so watercoloured to try and keep the floaty feel.
The sentiment on the card is a freebie from the Digi Doodle Shop.

Swinging Time With Riley

Wahooo I can also mention I am now part of the DT full time yayyyyyy 😛

SUMMER
is the theme for this week’s challenge but remember, if you choose to use a Little Miss Muffet stamp then the theme is Anything Goes
😎 me still thinks this is such a cool idea
… and … there’s more … you have two weeks in which to enter your project … now that is cool 😎
Riley is the chosen image for the front of my BOX, which was made for this challenge
Little Confession Time
I had to make a box because the Tri-Fold card I made for the Little Miss Muffet New Releases last week, ended up wayyyyy to dimensional
and wouldn’t fit into an envelope. If you go to the What’s New Section you can find all the new images which I have used on the box and card above.
Riley has been paper pieced, coloured with Pro Markers and then glittered to an inch of her life poor girl … but still she smiles.
Next week sees the new releases for Little Miss Muffet Stamps … as usual I am so like a kid and want to use them all at once.
Ooooo wait till you see them you will know just what I mean … so thinking cap is going on to see how I can do this … watch this space!!!!

ehhh just popping off to find some challenges tee hee – back later


This is interesting … never noticed it before … ehhh maybe because I have never made an on-going project.
Anyway, when I took pics of the first Tri-Fold card the sun wasn’t shining and the colours are practically spot on to the project.
The next pics I took, of all the Tags, the sun was streaming through the window and the colours all look so vibrant … not as lifelike though.
The pics I took of the above BOX … guess what the sun wasn’t shining and the colours are back to looking how they should.
All I can say is thank goodness the sun doesn’t shine here very often … more’s the pity.

Vintage Flowers

Making these pop up flowers in the middle of cards is addictive … you don’t want to know how many different variations
I have made now. Thought I would show you one more but this time with a vintage theme.
The front of the card is beautiful but when you open it the wow factor just pops.

oldold1

Used lots of different stamps for this card and can you believe the little girl image is a glittered rub on.

Dancing girl2Dancing girlDancing girl1Red girl 2

After taking pics of my projects I adore making different backgrounds to display them on and just love this maze one.
Coloured all images with Pro markers but this time went back over the images with coloured Glaze Sakura Pens.
Not quite the same effect as glossy accents but much quicker and really gives a shine to the finished project … even went back over the tag I posted yesterday.
Guess what I haven’t finished with this project yet so you will just have to pop back again next week for the new challenge over at

This is one of those very rare times where I have also used some old K & Co papers as well … the pain is getting worse, have to lie down now.

One Of My Fave Tags

Paris 4Nothing for weeks and then three posts in one day.
You know me and my tags … just love them.
Paris1Paris2

Love this tag, lots of stamping, inking, embossing, distressing, dry embossing and cutting out.
This stamp is one of my faves from Clarity Stamps, coloured her in, cut out but also partially put through a Sizzix embossing folder to get the diamond effect on her dress, then brushed over with a TH ink pad

Butterflies

Show us those BUTTERFLIES this week at:
Digi Doodle Shop’s Best
The Louis, Butterflies and Buttercups image is just way to cute and brings a smile to my face when I look at it so this had to be my choice this week for the challenge.
Dragon

Three of the butterflies are dies but the fourth is stamped. Also made another pretty flower, the brad was gold but I covered with blue micro beads.
Remember you don’t have to use an image from Digi Doodle Shop but if you do your entry will count twice and also the winner of this weeks butterfly challenge will win a $10 gift certificate from the shop.
Go see if you are the winner from last weeks challenge and when there please check out all the inspiration from the DT girlies … just awesome.
