A little bit of yellow...

After making my scene ATC earlier I carried on while the inks were out and made a swap for a friend over at Docrafts, she'd had a good look in my gallery over there and picked out 2 she really liked so I've tried to make them similar. I shall enter this into the very first challenge over at Let's Ink it Up, anything goes with a little yellow.

I coloured the flowers then clear embossed them so I could ink all around then I cut a circle out of a post-it note to colour through for the sun and then used the punch out to cover it up while I inked the sky and hills. The bird is from a gorgeous set by Katzelkraft.

So very last minute...

Hi, I saw the theme over at Tuesday Taggers this week and was keen to have a go, it's Sea, Water or Boats. Well with only 2 hours left on the challenge I have made an ATC this evening and just taken a photo. I really prefer taking photo's in natural light but it's turned out better than I thought it would. Anyway, here it is...

I have used a few of my many Stampscape stamps and I'd forgotten how much fun it is to build up a picture. I have used my usual Impress inks and sponges for the background. Thanks for looking.

Zentangle

I haven't had a doodle for a while but the challenge over at Lots to Do is Zentangle so I thought I'd have a go, just in time too as the challenge closes later on today. I like to doodle over backgrounds I have made up and this one was a shaving foam one I did ages ago.

I think the little creature at the bottom looks like a scared eel, is that a wide-eyed frog off to the side or a shark about to eat him up?

Thanks for looking.

Colour challenge

Hi, I am just starting to follow colour challenges and I must admit I like them. This one I made for the Play Date Cafe Challenge of Brown, green and beige. I stamped a few of the flowers in black too, I hope that was ok.

The colours in this ATC remind me of the autumn colours that are just around the corner. We haven't had a very good summer, I think our summer has moved to 2 weeks in spring! I do love autumn though and winter too.

Adorable ATC

Hi, here is a really cute and adorable kitten in a basket of flowers I made. I am going to enter it into Speedy the cats challenge which is Think Flowers this week. I'll also enter it into the cats challenge over at Drunken Stampers

I used the Stampin Up Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the cat sitting nicely in the basket then stamped and masked the flowers all around her. I stamped a few extra and popped them up. The flower stamp in the background is a lovely real flower from Hero Arts called wild delphinium.

Thanks for looking :)

Recipe challenge

I made this for a swap to take with me to the Loughborough Docrafts meet on Saturday and I followed the recipe challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers which is to use yellow or orange; punches or stickers; and an animal or a fish. I think my goldfish looks rather grumpy, maybe it's because he can't fit in his house! lol

The background is made using the shaving foam technique and I've used a little punch to punch the fishes in the background from acrylic painted watercolour paper. The grasses are from a wonderful little Stampin Up set of stamps.

Thanks for looking,
