Rainbow Lady's challenge # 135 - Winter

This week over at Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog we have a Sketch challenge and the theme is Winter. It is being sponsored by Chi Chi Memories. So do hope you will pop over and take a look and be able to join in with us.



I have used one of Natalie of Chi Chi Memories images of a cute penguin and coloured him with promarkers. He is mounted onto two shades of blue snow paper from Polka Doodles. The border and sentiment were designed and cut in Craft Robo. Three metallic silver snowflakes were used as embellishments.

Thank you for taking a look, any comments you care to leave are much appreciated.

My Scrapling as published in The Craft Stamper

Thought I would post this as I was so chuffed to have it published. The trade it was a scrapling, about two inches by five, in shades of lemon, mauve and sage. The stamps are all Artemis stamped with distress inks. The butterfly is punched from vellum.
Thanks for taking a look, all of your comments are greatly appreciated.

The CD Sunday Challenge New Year - New To You

I had Seraphina's Through The Ages CD just before Christmas and this is its first outing. I think this inage is so sweet and appropriate for new! The backing paper is from the CD too. I cut out an aperture from one lace frame and mounted it raised on the same frame with the image in it. The sentiment is written with the Xyron design runner.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 64 - Impress It On

I used air drying clay for my heart, stamped with part of a panel of a stamp from I know not where. When dry the heart was rubbed with purple perfect pearls. The tag I coloured with Brilliance ink Pearlescent Lavender, then stamped with a La Blanche stamp and DI Dusty Concord followed by another La Blanche stamp around the edges . This time I stamped with Versamark and embossed with Silver pearl. Finally I distressed round the edges with Dusty Concord and added ribbon. I enjoyed working with the clay and this is one of my favourite background stamps.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 134 It's All New To Me

The first challenge of the New Year on Rainbow Lady's blog is It's All New to Me. This is my new dress stamp from Stamps Happen and I have used some techniques that are new for me to use on a card. The card background is another Stamps Happen stamp which I stamped onto an old dressmaking pattern and applied to a base card using Golden soft gel, gloss. I then distressed it with Weathered Wood and Antique Linen. I added lace and card candy and stapled three pieces of ribbon to the card. Using, for the first time, my TSV from Memory Keepers I added a row of stitching. The topper was stamped on a piece of Artylicous paper and on some blue embossed card. I cut out the dress and applied it to the stamped image. I enjoyed doing this though am a bit nervous about showing it as a member of a design team. Hope you will join us this week.

My image for this challenge comes from JS Enchanted Dreams, a present from Santa, as does the first bp. The check bp is from Bearly Mine and the brown card is recycled. Each layer is distressed with DI Forest Moss, layered up and the cord added from my stash.

Crafty Ann's Challenge # 31 - Same But Different

The main image is coloured with Promarkers and the background with water soluble wax pastels. My first go with these so need to practise a bit more.
Would be nice to be on that sunny beach right now, we had some snow again today!
