Sunday morning Stamping

I woke up very early today so had a little play with my stamps. I made some card blanks using the largest Nestabilities circle and scalloped circles. I then layered up some more circles and stamped the footballer image and the Geisha image. The Geisha is from a small Woodware set I got yesterday at Ashridge Farm Craft Shop.


I paper pieced the geisha using Dovecraft papers and coloured her using Sakura pens. I used a black glaze for her hair.
As a final treat to myself I made this litle ATC to add to my collection. I am trying to make as many as possible to take with me to Alexandra Palace for the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show in September. I had this image left over from practising so thought it would be ideal to turn into an ATC!
Off to do some reading up on Wallpapering techniques now before we start the Living Room wall. Hopefully it will go ok....how hard can it be? Surely is just Papercrafting on a larger scale :-)

Enjoy your Sunday!

A few moments to make a card.....

We finished the second coat of emulsion on the living room walls this morning and got ready to go to Reading. As we were leaving the Postman delivered my Stamposaurus stamps I ordered from Create and Craft!


When we got home we finished the woodwork, all that is left to do now is wallpaper one wall.

I decided to try out the stamps this evening with this quick card. The spotty paper is some wrapping paper I bought from a lovely gift shop in Wokingham. I love spotty or stripy paper! I coloured the image with Letraset promarkers and Sakura pens.

Am looking forward to finishing the decorating tomorrow and having a day off Monday!

I hope you enjoy your Bank Holiday Weekend :-)

Artist Trading cards

I made a few Artist trading cards yesterday and today:

I made these tonight for the Craft Ambrosia ATC swap. The theme is music and dance in an Altered Art Style. I chose Edith Piaf as the subject of my ATCs. I found the Altered Art aspect of the challenge really hard as it is the complete opposite of my usual style so I am not sure whether I should actually send these off and take part....








I had a play with my Cuttlebug cutting out lots of felt shapes and thought these hearts would make a lovely ATC topper.

I decided to use up bits and pieces left over from practising with my rubber stamps:



I am starting to think making ATCs is addictive!

Just saying hello!

I made this card when I got back today following my sketch I published yesterday. The stamp is by Elzybells and I bought the ribbon in France.

Elzybells Thank you Card

This is my first post as a brand new blogger! I made this card last night with the free papers that came with my Magazine which was waiting for me when I got home. The stamp is by Elzybells and I coloured it with my Letraset pro-markers and paper pieced the dress. This was a really quick card to make !
