Yay!! The 2nd Stampman Challenge is now OPEN!!
Take 2 Colours
Morning all. Here's my entry for the 2nd Stampman Challenge.I have used Heroarts Clear stamps 'Cupcakes'. A set ive had a while but never used before. Available from The Stampman. Ive also used my Nestabilities 'Blossom' and 'Fancy Tags'.
I think I was in a distress mood when I made this card as I also painted the edges with Distress Crackle Paint 'Tattered Rose'. It actually looks like icing sugar. The picture doesnt really do it justice Ive got to say, as it was a difficult one to photograph, as the cupcake kept spinning around!

The Stampman Challenge blog has OPENED!!
Yes The Stampman Challenge Blog has now opened. It is a fortnightly challenge and the first Challenge is 'Anything Goes'.
For my card I have used Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Bigz Heart Wings. I'm such a sucker for hearts so this die was a must have. I have also used Woodware Circular cards and made it into a Criss Cross Card with another mini Heart card inside.
Ive done lots of distressing and also painted the edges with crackle paint.
For the flowers I used a Woodware Flower Punch.
Also used heart Nestabilities for the heart card.
Please go check out the blog and all the rest of the teams cards. They are all beauties.

An experiment!
Hi Peeps!
This WOJ stamp was the other part of my prize along with the Nesty labels from Just Magnolia. So I thought I would experiment with the labels to see what they looked like as an Easel Card, as it seems such a long time since I made one.
I really got these labels to go with another stamp(which I cant show you yet)! But it is perfect for them.....so watch this space. I'm saving it for one of THE STAMPMAN CHALLENGES which starts on the 16th July so go take a look!

Circular Criss Cross Card.
Afternoon Folks. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Its a little windy today up in the lovely Yorkshire, but still feels warm. I havent had much crafting time recently, but managed to make this last night, as everybody else was doing their thing!
I watercoloured Tilda with Black Soot Distress ink and then when dry covered her in Rock Candy for the crackled effect.
Papers were Black Market Paper Society-'Ebony and Alabastor Collection' from The Stampman.
I also used Nestabilities Label 2 and Circles.
and bits of ideology.

Yippee!! My Prize has arrived
YES!!! MY prize I won from 'Just Magnolia' arrived this week . Well It was actually a $25 voucher to spend and boy did I soon spend it!!lol It certainly wasnt hard to do and I actually went over the budget!!Oh well it keeps me quiet and away from the TV for the boys to watch the footie!!(That's what I keep telling myself anyhow!!!)LOL! So Thankyou so much.
.My prize was the fabulous Nestie labels. I'm so going to love these. I think they look so elegant.
Tilda Was coloured with Distress inks 'Spun Sugar'. Used all my usual stash and punches.
This was the inside of the card but I thought I would try something different from the usual opening card.

The inside also with the New glass gems and yummy metal corners!

Paper Roses!!!
Can you remember the song!!Bit before my time!!lol But I couldn't stop singing it in my head while making them.
I made this card quickly this afternoon for my friend's birthday. Luckily I had already water coloured Tilda. I painted her dress and roses with Aged Mahogany Distress ink.
For the flower I used 'Tattered Florals'
It's a quick post tonight! My favourite program 'The Vampire Diaries' is on at 9pm and loads to do before then and its a must see program!!

You make me Smile
Hi all
Another lovely day here in the lovely Yorkshire. My kids were happy doing their thing, so I went off and did mine!!lol
I haven't had much time to play with the new Tim Holtz Sizzix die 'Tattered Florals' (Yes i know i'm VERY lucky to have one,they seem to be like gold at the moment!) and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I got it from the fabby STAMPMAN. I used the medium and small flower to make these flowers.
After entering Crafty Cardmakers Challenge the other week and having to decorate the inside of your cards, I'm loving this look too. It just adds that extra dimension.

I'm loving water colouring with my DYE ink pads. For those who read my blog you will know I'm not a fan of colouring with pens(though there's nothing wrong with that!!)I just love painting and trying my best to improve and make do with what Ive got. For this Tilda Ive used Adirondack ink pad Pool(Yes! you dont just have to use distress inks) any dye ink will work.
The flowers were also coloured with Pool and edged with Distress Brushed Corduroy. The metal corners are from The Stampman.
The Just Magnolia Challenge this week is a sketch.
Basic Grey Challenges this week is Turquoise,Brown and Cream. So Pool was perfect for this and I used my yummy Basic grey 'stroky papers'
.
My pictures aren't very good as it was quite a difficult one to photograph, but Tilda was actually inside the card and the outer panel was an aperture . I used my nestie Circles for this.

Spot the Difference!!!!
Hi All
Ive been such a bad blogger lately with one thing and another. So seeing I got a top five blinky this week(for last weeks card) from Magnolia Down Under I thought I would enter this weeks challenge again- Polka Dots.
I dug every piece of paper out of my stash I had with dots on (I think most of it is Basic Grey) and my punches which range from Woodware to Martha Stewart.

When your feeling Blue......!!!!!!!!!!
Hope your all having a fab Bank Holiday!
Well what can I say, the weather so far is Cr..ubbish, my hubby is in bed with man flu and the kids are fed up........so what do I do?? Go water colour a Tilda!!!!lol
I keep seeing this swing on Tent cards and Tilda actually 'swings'!!So I thought I'd have ago and see if it worked on an easel card and it worked! ..
Ive distressed the edges with my scissors but this time I haven't inked them and added a couple of distressed flowers again using the 'Tattered Floral Sizzix Die'.
The corners are 'New ' in from The Stampman (they arent actually new, just something we forgot about and when Jill tried to get some more they were VERY limited. Jill and I have already raided them and I definately want more!!)
The swing is attached by two gold rings (can't think of what they are called, as hubby is watching 'Lord of the rings!!)LOL
I don't know why, but Im so addicted to water colouring with Distress inks at the moment. I find it so relaxing .
