Scrap, Doodle, Stamp, & Splat

Hello all,

Quite a different style of card from me today, but at the same time I kind of like it. Still on a mission to use those scraps ... that was the start of the card. Then I doodled the little quirky piano Key board. I then stamped the flowers using a Kanban stamp, I have coloured a few highlghts with prisma pencils, as I was doing that, I had the idea of using some of my distress stains to create a splat .... I kind of wish I had thought of that sooner, as I had used memento ink, and it has bled slightly, so it would have been better with Stayzon  ... will no for next time, kind of quirky but I also kind of like it.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crazy Challenge - Pink and Gems
Oldie but a Goodie - Bright Colours (old papers and stamp)
Simon Says - Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday (old papers and stamp)
Gorjuss - Anything goes with pink

Plan A

Hello All,

A journal page from me today!! .... This was created last night after a bit of time playing in the loft! I was supposed to be tiding up after an evenings playing ... but as I was clearing things away I saw this fabby Tim Holtz stamp ... and I suddenly thought would work well with a sentiment I saw on pinterest ... so instead of tidying I started stamping and doodling instead.

I have used a variety of products, dylusion inks, Distress Stains, stencils, stamps, memento ink and some sharpies.

Now I really must go and tidy up this time!!

Kissy Moo

Hello All,

I know some of you thought I was completely mad and bonkers after my last post (he he!!) so I have no idea what you will think now!! All I can say is that I think too much children's TV is responsible for this one! My life has been reduced to cbeebies and the gigglebellies!!

On the Gigglebellies there is a cow named Kissy Moo, when I made the colour me card, the image reminded me of Kissy Moo, although she is turquoise with blue dots ... I prefer penut the elephant who is purple with polka dots!! and that was the inspiration for my card.

The papers are from the scrap pile .... ( I was planning on doing a monthly update, but honestly you really cant see a difference, even if I was to do it quarterly you would still not notice the difference, I am working at it with determination though )

Its is a Marij Rahder and the flowers and toadstools are little elements from my new Katy Sue stamps that I still need to have a proper play with yet. I have coulered the images with copics, and then I have gone over Kissy Moo with a little twinkiling H20 for some added sparkle.

I'm Not A Witch....

Hi All,

Its my Anniversary soon, and this is the card I have made for hubby. I have gone for funny this year. We both love the film "Princess Bride" We always quote from the film in daily conversations. ie, when hubby goes off to work, when he leaves I will say "have fun storming the castle", "true love - there's nothing like it, except for an M.L.T where the mutton is nice and lean" ...... I honestly could go on and on, there have in fact been times that we have managed to have an entire conversation using only quotes from this film.

In the film there is the quote "I'm not a Witch, I'm your Wife" I say to hubby all the time. So when I saw Krista's images I got the inspiration for this card.

I have designed the card using Seriff again. I love the creative possibility of using digital stamps within Seriff. I have combined a Saturated Canary digi stamp with a Crafty Makes digi. I have also used various digi Kits including elements from a polkadoodle cd.

Although this was designed digitally it was by no means a quick card, it took me a good few hours to design. Another 2-3 hours to colour, I have used copic's and prisma's. and then another 20 minutes or  so to create the decoupage elements.

I am really happy with the results, and I am hoping it will make hubby smile.

I'm Possible

Hi All,

This is a page I started so long ago that it is unbelievable. It has so many layers as I was continually unhappy so have covered with collage, Gesso whatever I could find ... Finally I think I am happy with it!

I have used scrap paers, Gesso. Dylusion Inks. Acrylic paint, stencils, cosmic shimmer drawing inks, prisma pencils .... The girl is a little doodle of mine, and I have tried to do some zentangle on the branch of the tree.

Colour Me

Hi All,

Check me, a post 2 days in a row!! and I even got into the loft last night so have a few more things ready to post, you never know I may become a regular blogger again!!!

This is a quick and simple card! I saw this idea on pinterest and thought it was brilliant!! I love the idea of a card that a child can colour in themselves. I kept the card simple as I thought it should be about their work of art, not mine.

I tried to think of stamps I owned that were nice and open, and would be possible to colour with crayons. I have some of the fabulous Marij Rahder stamps, so I used some of them .... and of course it some scraps in the background!!

This was also so quick to make, I made 3 with different images, think it may be an idea that I will return to a lot!
