Craft Stamper challenge!

Good Evening Lovelies! Tonight I have made a tag, amongst other things lol, to enter into the http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/take-it-make-it-challenge-three.html

It's inspired by the feature in craft Stamper July edition pages 30-31 by the very talented Birgit Koopsen http://birgitkoopsen.typepad.com/my_weblog/

It's a technique where all the colour on your project is created with Embossing powders! Wow! What a great technique, who can resist it? It's a magical technique, after all the years I've been crafting there's still nothing like it! So here it is!

I used Dylusions masks and the stamps are both http://designsbyryn.com/ personally I prefered it without the stamps on, but the challenge required stamping!

Thank you for visiting xx

My Favourite SplodgeAway Mask!

Good morning Lovelies! I hope youve all had a wonderful weekend?

This week on Splodgeaway it's "My Favourite Mask" week

Today on Splodgeaway blog it is my turn to showcase some projects I made using "My favourite mask"

Oh my word! How could I possibly pick a fave mask??? They are all fab, the only way I could break it down was to choose which I use the most, not easy either but got down to two, then innie meanie miny mo!

So I chose the "Fancy Lattice", I love it and use it quite a lot! Its very versatile!

 

Here are 3 samples

The first one looks quite funky I think? I used the mask one way then turned and used it the other way!

 

The second one I would describe as a Classic design, very generic!

 

And my third I think is Elegant and quite classy, I just embossed it! It embossed beautifully!

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit! Why not pop along to the Splodgeaway website and checkout the fabulous products they have on offer? I hope you pop back to the blog each day this week to see what the rest of the extremely talented DT have made? Have a great day, Zoe xxx

Indigoblu Stamps with distress inks

Good evening Lovelies! So we get warmer weather today, but no sun, can't win! Now it's raining too! Lol good old British weather always gives us plenty to talk about!

Tonight I have made a card for the Indigoblu challenge the theme is "Backgrounds Galore"

I used clear EP with the gorgeous Vintage Flourish, then inked over using worn lipstick and dusty concord DI, I then splashed water onto it and blotted, mounted onto black card, I repeated the process for the topper without the Flourish of course then using a variety of Indigoblu stamps created a scene, bit of glitter here and there and a bow, voila! Hope you like it? Thank you for visiting!

Creative Expressions mask and texture paste!

Good evening Lovelies! Hope everyone is well? Just a quick post tonight, feeling tired xx

I made a card for a challenge yesterday it was a tic tac toe board, I chose! Burgundy, Embossing and Cream!

A very simple card using gold texture paste by Creative Expressions through a mask, whilst wet I removed the mask and added clear micro beads, and left it to dry, I embossed some cream card stock with an Anna Griffin EF by Cuttlebug, I pierced the edges of the Burgundy card.

Here's a close up of the Embossing and micro beads!

Thank you for visiting xx

Purple Wallhanging

Good evening Lovelies! I hope you all had a fab weekend? Our weather down here has been awful over the last week, I do hope it gets warmer soon those winds are brrrrrr!

Tonight I have been playing with Acrylic paint dabbers and distress paints! I've made this Wallhanging to go into the fabulous Hels Sheridan's challenge the theme this time is Purple Haze, I love purple so couldn't resist trying this one!

And http://panpasteluk.blogspot.co.uk/

 

 

I used a combination of Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 stamps love her stamps!

All the colouring was using Dabbers and Distress Paints, the base, I covered heavy card with Eggplant, then lightly and rather randomly went over with a paler mauve, I can't remember the colour? I went only in one direction to get a distressed wood effect, I used a background stamp from the stamp set in purple ink, the rest was all coloured first by pouncing the dabbers onto the card to get some texture then heat dried and stamped, I finished off by using the pearl cosmic shimmer gilding wax around the edge and over the butterfly! I hope you like it? I'm very pleased with it!

Thank you for all your lovely comments, it makes my day xxx
