Wild Flowers

I created a CAS birthday card with my favorite dies, the *wildflowers* designed by Tim Holtz. I colored the flowers with distress ink in different colors and sprayed some white Distress Spray Stain on top.

I used the funny sentiment from Rubber Dance Stamps and will enter my card into their current challenge ....

*W* is for Watercolour

Challenge #71 Watercolours, look at the beautiful bagde we were given at our blog at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!



Oh my, me and water colours :(

I couldn't let my sistahs down and tried hard, I even proofed that I actually used water colours for my card ....



Without further ado here is my creation, at least it's snarky :) I used Viva LasVega Stamps and the water drops from Ryn for this card.

Happy Halloween!

I sent this tag to a gal who seems to care about people in need .... 

Because it`s this time of the year, it happened to be a Halloween tag, could've been any other theme, I just tried to show my gratitude ♥

Life is now in Session!

I made another tag for the October Challenge over at the Viva Las VegaStamps Blog.

I started with he idea of a color splash and ended far off ♥

Well, I have used dictionary paper, the color Orange and a beautiful stamp designed by Mary Vogel Lozinak, the rest is the freedom of the artist, enjoy :)

12 tags of 2016

Yeah, October means HALLOWEEN!!

I pretty much followed Tim's instructions, substituting for materials I had on hand. Unfortunately, I don't have the cool monster face die, so I used the Rickety House instead. 

To add dimension, I popped up the roof with pop dots.

I embossed the house with a wood grain folder and applied black acrylic paint after I sanded it a bit. 

I used stickers for the words and a little Rub On for the bats.

I will also enter this tag into the challenge over at More than Words!

 


a little close up of the technique I used ...

Autumn Challenge at Rubber Dance Stamps

I created this tag for the current challenge at Rubber Dance Stamps.

I used one of the beautiful textured flowers and a sentiment from KaiserCraft.

I used a stencil for my background and stamped the flower twice. From one I fuzzy cut the flower without the stem and adhered it with pop dots after I embellished it with a brad.

Happy Autumn ♥

*Sleeping* Totem Cat

I started with the idea of a Halloween canvas and it turned out a bit different ......

I applied Gesso to the background, part of it with a stencil and sprayed it with Distress Stain in different colours.

I added some Viva LasVega Stamps, the spider web and the sentiment from Dylusions and of course the pretty Totem Cat from EyeConnect Crafts! I applied Gesso before I coloured it with black acrylic paint from Ranger.

The little spider is a Rub On from Tim Holtz, I have to keep my spiders tiny since I'm so much afraid of them :)
