Oxides, Stamping & Stenciling

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards today using inks, stamps and stencils.

One of my Junk Journal ladies gave me a JND magazine complete with the stamp, emboss folder and die so I was playing with the stamp for these two cards.

I used a selection on Oxides for the background, then a stencil on this 1st one and a text stamp.  Then I stamped the image and coloured with watered down oxide ink.


I am entering this one into Allsorts Challenge

I love the colours of this one.  This sentiment is  so pretty, very fine.  Random stamps in the background.


I have quite afew more to show you next time.

More from Nancy

 Good Morning All

Here are some more cards from the box that Nancy left.

She left a big crate of cards practically ready, all I have done is add sentiments or a butterfly or flower.





Aren't they beautiful.

I'm sure Nancy's' family will be glad to know they are going to help the charities too. 


Here is one from me too using a little parchlet plate.

Bright coloured card and I coloured the parchlet flowers to match.

Stamperia card

Good Morning All

My card today is an image from a Stamperia pad bought from my local craft shop.

I made it sort of shabby and used some of my Junk Journal supplies.

I really like how it turned out .

Quilling

Good Morning All

Afew weeks ago I was cleaning my craftroom out and trying to downsize abit or destash. 

I came across my quilling box and the two flowers on the front of these card were ready made so I thought I would make them into cards.

The die cuts are from one of the Tonic sets the shop was selling at a very reduced price, ex demo.



I am giving my quilling box away to a lady who helps people at the local hospital who have had strokes, a rehabilitation unit.
So going to a good cause.

I have entered my 1st card into the Allsorts Birthday challenge

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

The challenge at Craft Club on Friday was Christmas.

This is a recycled card from a craft friend  last year, I just remounted it onto different colour card.  I do this with all the  handmade cards I receive, let me know if you all do the same.


The gifts I gave out were sweets from Aldi, in a little box tied with ribbon and a dangle added.

Inks & Stamps Stencils & Stickers

 Good Morning All

I have been playing with my Oxides and some stamps.

A bit of stenciling too and splashes of water onto the oxides.

Then on both of them I added some floral stickers.


I think I like this one best, very happy with it.


The sentiment is from an LOTV digi set.

Groovi

 Good Morning All

The first card today is another from the crate from Nancy's craftroom, I am gradually working my way through them, adding bits and sentiments.  As I have mentioned before, Nancy was a traditional parcher and left a big plastic crate full of cards and envelopes, some with sentiments and others without.  Some I add a butterfly to or gems.


And this is one of mine, quick and easy.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

John and I are going to Benidorm today on a coach trip and staying overnight.  It's a night  at Benidorm Palace to see a Queen tribute band called the Bohemians, never seen them before so not sure what they will be like.  Should be good if they are at a venue like Benidorm Palace, will let you know.

My Craft Club Ladies went out for a meal on Friday instead of  meeting,  just for a change. 

We still have  a card challenge  which is

TREES

I used the same papers I got from Nancy's box, I used them  a couple of weeks ago too.


Last weeks challenge was a sketch
