Been a busy week.

I haven't managed any challenges at all this week as time seemed to run away from me. Here are the three things I did manage to get done. The first is a card using my Messy Rabbit stamps from Joanna Sheen. These are so cute. I wateroloured the images using my Derwent pencils and the paper was a scrap from my stash so I have no idea who it is by I'm afraid.

I bought a bingo board from Poundland for altering. I covered the front with the gorgeous Rustic Gems papers and edged it with Adirondack Dabbers in Gold. On the reverse I used various dabbers blended together. I then coloured a couple of Grungeboard pieces with the gold dabber and attached them to the front of the board using Glossy Accents.It is now winging it's way to a friend and I hope she likes it.

I did find time to use the latest Handbagz board from the Glitter Girls to make a card for my neighbour. The papers used are Stampin' Up! Certainly Celery collection and I used my new Quickutz alphabet for the name and age.
Thanks for dropping by, here's hoping this coming week has more time to craft.

Sunday Stampers Challenge

This weeks challenge is "I'm a Laydeeeee!" so I have made two cards. I couldn't decide between my new oriental lady stamp or the lovely one I got the other week. The oriental lady has been stamped in black-staz on and then watercoloured. I had to copy the image on the wooden block to get the shading right. I then edged the mat with gold Krylon pen and mounted it onto red pearlescent paper which I had covered the A6 card blank with.
The other stamp is again stamped in black staz-on and coloured in with Marvy Le Plume pens and a black watercolour pencil.I covered an A6 blank with some Basic Grey Periphery paper(which I love). I took an Adirondack Dabber in Bottle along the edges of the stamped image and then mounted this onto the card. I haven't added greetings to either card as yet as I don't know what I will use them for. I am much happier with these efforts than other recent ones :0)
