Banner


A really unusual project for L.T.D. revisited.
I used lots of techniques including brayering, stamping and embossing the white paisley, then using the resist technique. Then stamping the bird cage and chandelier, then adding some brads and eyelets.

Arty Skinnys

Again made for L.T.D. revisied, using stamping and colouring with some punching and a couple of peel offs.

Vintage ATC's

I made these for the Lots To Do Revisited vintage atc swap.

1.The first one was a piece of card put through the bigshot using a folder, then a darker ink pad brushed over the top. a Mucha lady put onto and then some corners stamped on top.
2. I used a piece of edwardian type patterened paper, added a vintage lady then some more stamping over the top.
3.The last one was started with a piece of a union jack that I had already got printed, then I added a royal and more stamping.

Cards

A couple of cards I've made over the last 2 days.

Tim Holtz tag swap


These tags were for the Lots to do revisited swap, the bottom 2 look B&W but are actually blue and plum ???? scanner seems to have gone mad.

Stitching swap


These are the ATC's made for the Lots to do revisited swap, the title was stitching. I don't so have used faux stitching and stamped and watercoloured the images.

I knew I wanted to make a pop-up card but really wasn't sure how, so after quite a bit of thinking I came to this. The front was pre-bought papers and toppers, but I stamped, coloured and glossed all the cakes on the inside and then had to figure out how to get them to pop-up. I was so pleased with this card that I was dying to give it to Mom, but she wouldn't open it till her birthday.

I wanted to make a couple of cards with just verses on the front for a change, and here they are.

Friendship 4" x 4" challenge


All done for Lots to do revisited, I have stamped, masked and coloured with various pens on the top one.
Stamped and brayered both the background and the topper.
Then used some nice paper, stamped a friendship quote then used brads and stones to embellish, finally matting on toning card.

Beer Mat Swap


These were made for the beer mat swap on Lots to do revisited. Yes they are beer mats, the pink one is in support of breast cancer, the middle was is a 'beer monster' and the last is my version of an Hawaiian shirt to mark the re-make of one of my fav's as a kid Hawaii 5-O.

Buildings


For the Lots to do revisted challenge swap, thought I would do 3 wildly different images.
they are all digital stamped images, the first and last are coloured with pro-markers and the middle one is aged with Lord Tim's ink pads.

Children Tags


For Lots to do revisited challenge swap.
I downloaded some digital stamped images and then coloured with pro-markers then added to co-ordinated backing papers and ribbon.

Red, Black & White swap


Add ImageThese are for the Lots to do revisited challenge swap. I stamped some images and coloured with Pro-markers, but not on the best card, so ended up running a tiny bit.
I LOVE poppies though.
