It's All In The Words...

The Tanda Teaser this week is 'All In The Words' ...

''We want to see cards with words used as the main part of the card. There are no restrictions on what you use, you do not to have to use Tanda stamps, but it would be nice - you don't have to be a stamper either, just use whatever you have in your stash in whatever style you fancy!!''

I bought the stamp unmounted from Ebay, so I have no idea whose it is...well...apart from mine that is!! ^.^
The same goes for the flourish...my friend She sent it to me along with some lovely fairy stamps a year or so ago...but...there's good news for the tiny flower!!! That's from Stampin Up! :0)
♥ I have used Brilliance ink pads to stamp the images...and then colour washed over the text with the same orange Brilliance. I have dotted SU! Dazzling Diamonds Glitter in the middle of the flowers, although it's not showing up too well in the picture...too late at night I think!! ^.^ ♥

Christmas..... in August!!!!

For me that's unheard of...I'm just not that organised, but on My Time To Craft this week 'Christmas' is their challenge!
Papers are Anna Griffin (thanks Lindajay! :) ) ...and the image has been coloured using Brilliance and Tim Holtz Distress ink pads...

So that's one down and ...........several more to go!!

Pink, Pink and More Pink!!!

The challenge theme from My Time To Craft this week is 'Tickled Pink'! 'This week's challenge is - Ticked Pink! So add plenty of pink to your projects!'
So, while I was getting messy with inks for the Sunday Stampers challenge I decided to make some pink mess!! *.*

The large tag's background is a mixture of Pink Brilliance and 'Worn Lipstick' pink distress ink...then the flourishes stamped with Fuchsia Pink Stazon. I have doodled a running stitch round the edge in a pink Gelly Roll pen.
The small tag has been stamped with a Bella image and coloured with pink chalk. I've then coloured Bella with pink Sakura pens, and smudged the edge of the tag with a pink chalk ink pad and again, the pink running stitch. Oooh...and not forgetting pink eyelets and pink organza ribbon!!! ^.^


I hope that my pink tag, on pink tag, will be pink enough for the pink challenge!!! *.*

Oriental...

The challenge on Sunday Stampers this week is 'Oriental'. I have to confess that this theme is always a challenge to me anyway!! ^_^

The photo doesn't really help my case either I'm afraid, as the background has Galaxy Gold Brilliance wiped randomly over the Fired Brick distress ink, and Galaxy Gold Oriental butterflies stamped on too...but you can't see it! In the flesh, it does actually break the red up, so you'll need your imagination for this one!! ^.^

Hidden Spring!

Well, I've finally finished it!! My first ever...'Hidden Depths' ...the brand new challenge from Simon on Craftswap Forum!


The challenge is here...the theme is 'Springtime'


The inside...





This was white cardstock cut and folded per the instructions given by Simon. The inside was covered with Brilliance ink pads, then rubbed with a cotton wool ball to give the high sheen. The images have been stamped on using Timber Brown Stazon.

The outside has been covered with two designs from the Funky Fairy 'Meadow' range of papers and a piece of organza ribbon is tied round to finish it off ^.^
