Tempting Organza


This weeks Just Add Ink Challenge is Just Add Material. So I thought this is a good opportunity to play! I've glued (using PVA) Turquoise Organza to White paper and let it dry. I've then punched and stamped it. I used Staz On for the ink- but it's still got a softer feel. Some last minute sneek Peeks here too:
Stamp Sets:
Artistic Etchings (new)
Curly Cute ( new)
Friends 24-7
DSP; Newsptint (new)

Let me know what you think of my Turquoise Delight.

Fancy Flower



I am really loving this new punch Fancy Flower, it makes beautiful flowers and look gorgeous layered with some Dazzling Diamonds and a Diamante Brad.
Here I've made this Squash book also using Friends Never Fade Stamp Set. I'm taken with this stamp set too- and you can see I've used the Rock N Roll technique. There's also some Cottage Garden Stamps - also good for the Technique.
Just 3 days to go- until you can order these new goodies from Me!

Vintage Wallpaper





Time for another Colour Challenge at Just Add Ink. Now I didn't read this properly yesterday, so I thought it said Rose Red- I made a gorgeous card took photos went to load it up at thought - "Oh it's Real Red I'm supposed to of used". So today I have made another card but using Real Red this time. I wanted to create a Vintage Wallpaper kind of 40's feel and I think I managed that with the help of the Damask stamp from Friends 24-7, and the peony from Asian Artistry- I love this stamp. I've used the pastels and Chocolate Chip Ink. Today's sneek peek is the flower Punch isn't this lovely?- a really easy way to make flower embellishments for cards and scrapbook pages- coming soon x

Winter Magic


I love these hellebore flowers they just amaze me- with their colour and delicate bloom in the middle of winter, when the rest of the garden is asleep here they are- truly the winter rose.
I've done this 12 X 12 layout using the Cottage Wall DSP (19.95) only available for a couple more weeks- I've also used vintage music sheets, embossed with teh Cottage Garden Stamps. Finally I created my own hellebore from Very Vanilla Cardstock, Aqua Painters and seed beads mixed with Crystal Effects.

Vintage Colour




This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a colour combination Challenge: Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Kraft and Very Vanilla.
I've done a 12 X 12 Scrapbook Page, these colours lend themselves well to Scrapping Heritage Photographs. I've kept it simple, and I think it works well showing off beautifully the old family photo.

I've used Autumn Traditions DSP and Rose Red, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla Cardstock.
Stamps Used: Pendant Park and Winter Post.
Other: Two Way Bird Punch and Kraft Taffeta Ribbon.

Gift Tote


It was my daughter's friends birthday yesterday-the big 10- they went skating- fun!!! Here's the cool gift Tote I made for her pressies- Pixie pink is one of my favourites ( Farewell Pixie pink on the 31st August) it has a lovely blue hue to it.
Fifth Avenue Floral Rose Stamp brings some class and combined with the Scary Skulls Wheel (Also retiring) this Tote looks great.
