Bizzy Becs- Anything Goes

"ANYTHING GOES"....... 

is the 1st  challenge theme over at Bizzy Becs Challenge Blog.  

I have used Darkroom Door Stamps- Crackle Background Stamp and Full Bloom Vol 1 to create my card. 

The background was created by sponging Distress Inks Rusty Hinge and Spiced Marmalade onto white card and then spritzing the Crackle stamp with water and then stamping over the inked background.. love how it takes some of the colour away.

 I added  a script stamp down the side. 

The  flower was stamped  used the same Distress Inks as above but with some Crushed Olive for the leaves and  fussy cutting it out.

Bizzy Becs Online store HERE has a Huge, and I mean Huge range of Darkroom Door Stamps for pre- order that you wont want to miss out on...

Stamplorations - Monthly Challenge #3

Hi there, today is an exciting day as it's my first post as a Design Team member for STAMPlorations!  
 This months challenge over at the Stamplorations Blog is all about..
STAMPS and FEATHERS.

 I used the Holiday Artsy Clear Stamp Set.
This is such a great stamp set- you can create so many fabulous backgrounds for your cards.

The larger solid dots on my card  was made by reversing / flipping over the circle stamps and stamping the back of the acrylic stamp  with ink first. I then turned the stamp over to the right / correct side of the stamp and stamped again over the larger inked circles..   I drew in stitching lines with a black pen around some and used the end of a pencil with a rubber to stamp in a few little extra dots. The sentiment on vellum and embossed with White is also part of the stamp set..
The feathers are MFT dies.
Pop on over to the blog to see my new DT teamies wonderful creative makes. Hope to see you playing along with the challenge as you could get the chance to win to fabulous stamps sets.

Happy Holidays

Hi there, I don't normally find time to create a card just for fun but with my DD and grandkids away this past 10 days- (holidaying in Phuket) I have found myself  having more spare time to spend  in the craft room...

I just love the combination of Evergreen Bough and Iced Spruce Distress Inks..great Christmas Colours.

 My background was created using  Iced Spruce,Acrylic block and water, a technique I do quite often to make my own background paper. Evergreen Bough was used as my backing paper. 

I saw a similar tree on a card at my local new agency so wondered if I could create one..

When looking thru my stash of stamps I found I had no basic tree trunk stamp- I know I'm surprised too-- for  those of you who know my stamp collection., lol...So I made my own cutting a piece off  an acrylic stamp that had extra around it and cut it into a shape of a trunk and stamped with Black Versafine Ink. 

The little stamped circles used to form my tree came from a Neat and Tangled Stamp set called Party Dots... this stamp set is soooo well used., a Memory Box Die for my Star, Sequins and Gems and a little Copic Colouring along with a little strip of silver glitter paper finished it off... 

I am entering this card into a new Stamp Company I have just found  (love the stamps) and Challenge Blog called..

STAMPlorations Challenge- Stamps and Sequins.
