Fave Stamp for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme this week is

To use your Favourite Stamp with an option of Paper Piecing.

This is a tribute to Kath, a member of our team who lost her  battle with illness afew weeks ago.

I dont stamp very much, I must admit but I do like this stamp a received from one of my team mates.

It is a Penny Black PB3602K Dotted Petals

It stamps well and I dont really have to colour it when used on a background like this.

But here, I used some Blue Stickles.

The background is Oxides and I added some Gingham ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

There are lots of prizes on offer so do have a go. 

There are more details on the challenge blog.

Paints and Oxides for backgrounds

 Good Morning All

I have been sorting my photo file out and this is an oldie that I dont think I have posted.

Playing around with  paints to make backgrounds.

Stamped with Archival ink, a Penny Black stamp.

Abit of fun playing with paints and Oxides

Afew papers I will use for journals or backgrounds, playing with Oxides.

Here are some playing with Alcohol inks

I used some of them for  backing parchment sentiments.

Alot cheaper than buying designer papers!!

Liz from my local Craft shop gave me a large Hearts Groovi plate for Christmas and here is a card I made for some lovely friends that recently got married.  

I should have added the names down the side but once started, I had to finish.

Say It With Flowers for Penny Black & Challenge

Good Morning All

As part of Allsorts Design Team we can Guest  at Penny Black Challenge blog HERE.

The them for August is

Say It With Flowers.

I used PB3822K Trumpet Vase and made two cards.

This first one was made a while ago when I was playing with water colour paints.

I simply painted different colours and stamped the image over the top - simples.

The charm is one I made, attached with twine and seam binding.

I used the same backing paper and used one of JND tags, played with Mica Magics and stamped the image on top.

Added afew flowers punched from left over scraps of parchment,  half a doily and some homemade sentiments.

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

Now onto my normal Sunday post for Craft Club Challenge.

Instead of a sketch or Tic Tac To, I gave the ladies 1/2 mtr of ribbon each from Crafty Ribbons

I want them each to make a Christmas card or something else using the Christmas ribbon I gave them.

Here is mine, a twist pop up card using a tutorial by Gi Kerr on You Tube.

I used the cute Penguin vertical ribbon, LOTV topper.

A Bellyband with a little tag pinned to it.

This is the back and I used a cut off from this paper for the bellyband.

This is the card all opened up.

It was quite easy to make too.

Crafty Ribbons are doing a SELECTION BOX

August theme is Holiday
