Wildlife for River of Creativity

 Good Morning All

River of Creativity Challenge this month is

Wildlife

I used a stamp set that was a freebie in a magazine and is perfect for this.

I have afew backgrounds already inked on my desk using Oxides and I thought this pinky orange one was perfect for an African scene.

Hope you like it.

Fashion Sense for River of Creativity & Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

A combined post today as it is the 5th of the month so that means it is time for the River of Creativity Challenge with a theme of

Fashion Sense

I will admit that I was abit stumped as to what to do for this one. but as usual, I delved into my LOTV topper box and came up with this sweet image.

The backing paper is from a pad I bought in Primark.

I added one of my sentiments with organza ribbon and added a Hat charm.

I used this card for my Craft Club challenge too and made it a theme of

Pink & Blue

Anything can be used as long as the main colours are Pink and Blue.

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

The gifts I gave out were these yummy packs of biscuits I found in the local supermarket.

Individually wrapped so perfect for putting in boxes.

I added a dangle charm to the ribbon so the ladies can use it in their work.

One Earth for River of Creativity

 Good Morning All

River of Creativity Challenge this month is

One Earth

Wow, I really wasnt to sure how to interpret this one then I remembered that I had an Earth die in my box at the Craft Shop.

The backing is from a Birthday card that Lorien and Ricky sent to me so I stuck the Earth over what was stuck there and matted the whole lot onto blue card.

Added a sentiment tag and some garden string and thats it.

I really like how it turned out.

Butterflies & Bugs for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

It is my turn to host Allsorts Challenge this week and I went with 

Butterflies & Bugs

I had this large layered butterfly on my desk so I thought I would make that the focal point.

Once again, I used an Oxide background which I had spritzed with water to make it abit blotchy.

I also had the Parchment circle on my desk too and thought that would match.

I stuck  the butterfly on and added cheesecloth under it.

Then stamped some tiny bugs, dragonflies and butterflies from a couple of Johns (JND) early stamp sets.

2 prizes on offer this week

2 prizes, a Woodware stamp and Tattered Lace die

I have a reminder of the River of Creativity Challenge

Parent & Child

I have used another Humphrey image,  doily and gingham, very similar to my 1st card on 5th June for the theme.

Sunshine for River of Creativity

 Good Morning All

The first challenge for River of Creativity is

Sunshine

I played around with my Oxide inks, which I should do more often as I enjoyed it.

Then, very simply, stamped using a wood mount Penny Black 3602K Dotted Petals.

The words are stickers from Clarity which I bought in the members sale, I had always wanted them so treated myself when they were half price.

I added afew of Johns (JND) tiny butterflies and dragonflies from  his early sets.

I painted the flower after stamping with Distress inks, never done this before but really happy with how it turned out.

There are some wonderful makes by the DT and we all have very different ways of crafting, very diverse - Stamping, Mixed Media etc.

So do pop over and take a look.
