I needed a card for a friend who loves black, and I wanted to use another of my lovely Kanban tree stamps. The sketch on Sketch and Stash was ideal for what I wanted. I used my new Black Market Paper Society papers, and embellished with Card Candy and a flower using a MS punch.
We are now up to K on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog, and it is K for Kids, either kids on your work or something that you would give to a child! I used my Crafty Individuals stamp for my atc which I inked with Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
Nearly done these now! This is my version of Tim's Day 11 tag. I am not as keen on this one as some of the others. I had to improvise with the deer by using the leftover as a stencil from a grungeboard one and drawing round it on grungepaper and cutting it out, colouring with Red Pepper adirondack dabber and then stamping snowflakes over it, and as I don't have the itop thingy to make the flower centres Tim used I luckily had some fabric covered brads for Christmas (thank you She!) which I used instead! Nor do I have any white rub ons so had to use my white Inkessential pen!
I set a monthly Scrapbook Challenge on Craft Swap Forum, and this is my LO for the January challenge. My granddaughter loves using the computer, well trying to anyway! So her mum got her a toy laptop so she doesn't feel left out!
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Blue and Brown, and I made my DT card using a Kanban tree stamp which is lovely to use. I clear embossed it using Sepia Versafine ink and added some Copper stickles to it. I used a blue base card, and brown paper for the mat, and unknown paper to stamp on!
I didn't have all the metal bits and bobs Tim used for Day 10's tag, so I improvised and covered my tag in kitchen foil and alcohol inked it, then painted my grungeboard letters etc. with Silver dabber. I quite like it! 2 more tags to go and I am done!! The flash has made it look a bit wrinkly but it isn't really!
The challenge on Winter Wonderland this week is to use Cinnamon, Lime and Berry on our work. I stamped my new Penny Black Fancy Antlers stamp and coloured him in with what I hope passes for a Cinnamon colour! I used DCWV paper for the background and punched snowflakes with my MS punch.
I want to finish my 12 tags inspired by Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas, so here is my version of Tag 9! Only 3 to go so hopefully I will finish them over the next few days! I like this one, the photos are fab and the film strip ribbon is lovely to use, but not so lovely to wind back up to put it in the tin - it took me 3 goes to fit it back in!!
I thought I had best make a start on my Thank You cards, and this fits in with several challenges. I used the lovely sketch from Papertake Weekly, and also Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge and Winter Wonderland also want us to make Thank You cards. I used my Penny Black Duckling stamp and coloured him with Copics and used Funky Fairys papers for the background.
I have completed my banner from the challenges set on Ready Steady STAMP over the last 8 weeks and it is now hanging on the wall over the fireplace!
This will be my last blog posting before Christmas so I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Here is my version of Tim's Day 8 tag. I changed the details a bit with the key and lampost embellishments but on the whole I am pleased with how it turned out. The smoking vellum was a bit scary when I heated it but apparently that was what it was meant to do!!
I love these Penny Black Stickeroos - I can't possibly buy all the stamps I would like to and these Stickeroos are a good way to get a lot more images to use for quick cards! I needed a couple for family birthdays and don't have a lot of time at the moment so these were quick to make.
Jewels which is the theme on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog. I have used my Crafty Individuals Journey stamp for my inky atc (inked with Faded Jeans Distress Ink) and added some jewels to embellish.
The theme on this week's Christmas Card Challenge on Magical Crafts Forum is Nativity, and it is alsothe theme on Winter Wonderland. I coloured this stamp (not sure who it is by) with Copics and some water colouring, and the backing paper is DCWV.
Here is Tag 7 of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. I enjoyed making this one, it is my sort of colours and tecnhniques!
The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Yuletide Wishes. I used my Crafty Individuals greetings stamp together with some Dovecraft paper for the background. I used a MS punch for the snowflakes, and gold Nailheads for the centres.
Part 3 of the Christmas Banner Challenge on Ready-Steady-STAMP is to use our chosen colours, baubles, cord, organza and dry embossing. I embossed my Snowflake Cuttlebug folder through the Big Shot and cut out some of the snowflakes with a circle punch to make my baubles, I then dabbed them with Gold Dabber and went over them with Gold Krylon. I attached them with gold cord and tied organza ribbon round the cords. I finished it off with embellishments to co-ordinate with my other banners.
Here is my version of Tim's Day 6 tag. I don't have his car stamp or tree stamp so luckily had something fairly similar I could use! These tags seem a lot more involved this year and are taking me a while to catch up on!
