month 3 week 10

Its Friday so its SCD day....and the last working day before the weekend - yipee...

So, this week at SCD its a colour week - any month which has 5 weeks will have a colour challenge or a sketch.....

Its still Postcard month, so must be 6"x4" or 4"x6" and this weeks theme is:-

TURQUOISE (or teal) and BROWN
black stamping and shading allowed, but, the main colours must be turquoise(teal) and brown

So, heres my attempt:-

The patterned paper is basic grey and the brown is plain bazzil card. The flowers are green tara (I think thats what they're called) the beaded pin was made using a head pin and various beads...the stampboard was coated with new adirondak alcohol inks and then stamped using hero arts stamps, text and lady, then highlighted.....tbh I'm not that good on this size canvas I tend to get lost on big pieces - twinchies and inchies are must more my comfort zone - but, the whole idea of SCD was to try "Something Completely Different"!!

Also, this week, we have some blog candy to give away:-


There are 12 6x6 papers from making memories and crafty individuals, mini postcards a little box with sections in which is full of lace, ribbons, stick pins, buttons, brads, charms and more!! so to be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is make your postcard, which must be solely for SCD, postcards made for multiple challenges will not qualify, pop on over to SCD and post your link and voila!! your entered.

Month 3 week 9

Oh boy what a week hey? last week soooo very hot and this week sooo very wet!! so typically English hey?

This week over at SCD we have the continued theme of POSTCARDS these 6x4" pieces are a great size canvas to explore new themes and have fun....this weeks theme has been chosen by Gez and she's chosen "VINTAGE"

Here's my take:-

Do you realise that for the first time in yonks I haven't prepared the background or used any inks other than a chalk eye for inking the edges and don't faint NO STAMPING was used to create this piece - must be feeling ill hey? Any way, the postcard is a mixture of old k&co papers, lace, flowers, stringed pearls, buttons and flowers...

Pop on over to the SCD blog and see what the other DT members have created and we'd love it if you joined in too - don't forget - if you don't have a blog but would like to join in email me your piccie and I'll publish it on the blog for you.

Month 3 - week 8

Its Friday again....I've just had a gorgeous week off and boy has the weather been good to us, for a change!!

So, we're on Month 3 of SCD and another great challenge:-

POSTCARDS
Size 6"x4" - can be used either way, ie 6x4 or 4x6 any colour any style unless specified by the theme set...

So to this weeks theme:-

FACES

Here's my take:-


On my craft mat I dabbed some distress ink, broken china, then spritzed it with water until droplets occurred, I then took a piece of white card and placed it onto mat and then swished!. Third coast goddess stamp was then stamped with black ink on top and hi-lighted with white pen, various other face stamps were then stamped into the hair and spaces...a little clay face painted with various inks was added along with a faces rubon and some mini gems....raffia around the top finished it off.

Please pop on over to SCD and see what the other members of the DT have come up with - there are some gorgeous postcards over there and I hope that you'll all be inspired to join in.

Don't forget that if you don't have a blog to display your postcards email me here and I'll post them at the end of the SCD post for you.

Its Month 2 week 7

on SCD can't believe we're on week 7 all ready, where has that time gone??

This week is our last TAG week and I'm in the chair to choose the theme.

So, its

CROWNS

so, here's my crown tag:-

Due to time restraints I made all my tags for the month together, its only now I realise how similar they all are!! I must admit I do go thro' stages of using things and then moving on I'm back in my distress inked backgrounds at the mo and overstamping with white hi-lights...had you noticed?? roflxx Anyway, white card cut into a tag, coloured with various distress inks and over stamped with T!m's stamps and then hi-lighted with a white pen. The girl was then stamped onto the tag and then again onto a painted chipboard crown, the crown was then matched over the stamped image.....little pearls were then added to the tips of the crowns. BTW the girl stamp is queens dresser drawers and not one of T!m's.

This week is our last week with our lovely guest designer, Kath. Thank You kath for being our very first GD and we've loved your fantastic tags...xx If you haven't visited Kath's blog please do as she does some gorgeous creations, well worth a visit to see some lovely eye candy.

Pop on over to the SCD blog and see what the other DT members have come up with and I hope join in the fun this week. Don't forget its a new challenge next week as its a new month....wonder what it could be???

another card...

...is needed! this time for my Brothers wedding which is on Saturday! so with mojo still running on empty it was a trawl thro' the sketch challenge blogs to see what I could do...and I came across Saturday Sketchers...

and this is what I did:-

all the papers are from Ambrosia by Basic grey with doodling around the edges, a few rub ons and a charm. The couple is a stampington stamp. The wedding is orange and cream based so hence my colour scheme.

Happy Fathers Day!

Hope all Dad's out there have had a good day....

Here's the card and tag I made for Dad today....:-

All the papers are basic grey granola - the stars were cut on the cricut and then glossy accents was added...the centre piece is a piece of stampbord which was inked with new alcohol inks and then my fav stamp was stamped on the top and hi-lighted. The inside of the card was also decorated using the granola range. The card was supposed to be entered for last weeks Saturday sketch but I was far too late!! lolx

And his tag.....

Plain white card cut into tag shape, coloured with broken china distress ink, stamps from T!m's visual artistry packs stamped on top - the DAD letters were from T!m's grunge alphabet set...all black ink hi-lighted with white pen...
