The Stamp Man Blog Candy

The Stamp Man is giving away some great blog candy and you have until December 15th to join in, so have a look and have a go it must be worth it.

Black, White and another

This is a card for the challenge over on Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog this week it's black, white and one other colour, so I have used pink to highlight the flowers.

Tag it on challenge

Over on Dragon's Dream Tag it on challenge blog this weeks challenge is to use alcohol inks with a face theme, I only thought about this one image but now I stop and think I do have something else that would do. I have used red pepper, aqua and pearl mixative then used a bit of gold to highlight, I have also used promarkers to colour the image in, finished off with some threads I got free on the very first C&C roadshow which they don't seem to do anymore.

It's good to see that Frankie is up to posting and setting challenges again, go and have a look at her blogs she does some amazing things.

Easel Card

I feel like I've been a little more productive today and have even managed to find time to make this card which I am entering into the Basic Grey Challenge which this week is glitz and bling, hopefully this little offering will fit the bill.

I have used paper from the Two Sccops range and added some crystals, glass glitter and a couple of Flora Doodles, sorry for the poor quality of the picture but the flash has reflected and it is too dark to take it without.

Crafty Ann's 1st challenge

This card is made from a free download from My Craft Studio and I have decided to use it to enter into the challenge from Crafty Ann's challenge blog. This is her brand new challenge blog and the first one is celebration, well we tend to celebrate most things but as it is so near to Christmas I thought I'd use this, pop over and have a look and if you can give her your support you'll find her here

This is the first tunnel card I've made from MCS and it went together fairly well, although you can't tell there are five layers on this one. Hope you like it.

I made this for one of the girls over on Rainbows forum, couldn't show you before but it's her birthday today so it's ok now. This is made using tapestry card and images and backing paper from the Eastern Treasures cd from Joanna Sheen, I have printed it onto linen ink jet printer paper and it gives a fantastic result, the images are so sharp and I only have a cheap printer using a ciss system. I just hope she likes it.

More Candy

How's this for some candy worth having,
pop over to Jacque's blog and see
for your self, fabulous items to look at too.

This is for a workmate who's birthday is on Wednesday, I have seen a few of these side step cards around so thought I'd give it a go.

Yet more birthdays

This is for my sister who's birthday is at the weekend so I just hope it arrives in time.

The challenge over on Rainbow lady's blog this week is anniversary so this is my entry, it is made with a picture from the Joanna Sheen cd Hollywood Vintage which has now been discontinued.

More super Candy

Well over on Bev's blog there is a fabulous array of things in her candy and you only have to link your blog on Mr Linky to be entered, what could be easier and everyone is in with an equal chance of winning so get over and make that link.

Art Deco birthday

Sorry the picture isn't straight but I guess you get the idea, I've printed the image and the backing paper onto semi gloss photopaper and matted it onto black satin mirri card.

The gold and white panel have been put the the Cuttlebug and the ribbon and flower have been coloured with rose pink promarker to tie it all together, the panel is quite large so I have made another 8" square and hopefully it works alright.

Fab blog candy!!

You have got to check out the candy available from Jak, this is such a fabulous thing to offer and just by linking from your blog and leaving a comment you have a chance of winning. Get on over and have a look, you have to be in it to win it and it's open until 29th October so lots of time left.

Halloween Swap card

Over on Rainbows forum this month the swap theme is Halloween so I have made this card, I don't know if I have a vivid imagination but the patterned background looks like it has faces in it and the fairy in the crystal ball has bats on leads. The crystal ball is glued onto folded acetate to give it a bit of movement, it was made with the My Craft Studio cd's.

I Love Promarkers Challenge

Another card for another challenge, this time it is for the I Love Pro Markers Challenge Blog we could use any colour but follow a sketch. This time I have done something a little different for me as I don't do many cards for boys, I have used a freebie image and it was from Tales From Pollycraft

They do a Friday Freebie and Feathers the Dragon was one of them a few weeks ago, I just couldn't resist him.

One card , two challenges

This is my entry for the Passion for Promarkers and The Pink Elephant challenges, I don't know what has come over me but I seem to be on a roll and while I'm in the mood I'll just carry on.

The Passion for Promarkers challenge is any colours and polka dots and the Pink Elephant is a sketch challenge so hopefully I've fullfilled the criteria for both of them.

I think this is my last for today but you never know I may still have time for one more before I go out for my tea.

Another 8 inch square

This size of card seems really popular at the moment and as this is for a lady of 83 it is ideal, so much easier to see. You can't tell from the picture but I have decoupaged some of the flowers on the panel and then sprayed with gold glitter, the flowery paper is also sprayed with the glitter. I have put a panel of the paper on the back and a small version of the topper, I think it finishes it off well.

Another challenge!

I needed a card for a friends mum and usually she get the traditional type so thought a cutie would be a nice change for her, I can also enter this into the Sketch and Stash challenge as I have used my new cd Popcorn the Bear which I got at a bargain price from that well known auction site. You should go and have a look at the challenge and some of the DT cards as they are stunning.

A Paper Gerbera

Just for a bit of fun I made this flower yesterday and am quite pleased with how it turned out, what do you think?

I've completed a challenge!

I'm very bad about joining in with challenges but Rainbow Lady's this week was to include an owl, well it would be rude not too as they are such wonderful creatures.

I did make a start on one cut with the Cricut but it didn't work quite as well as I wanted, I cut the design a little bit too large, so have used an image from JNM cd from Joanna Sheen. I have decoupaged the owl but it doesn't really show and I printed onto linen inkjet paper and it is so sharp and I think I'll have to buy some more as I have used quite a bit already.

Do pop over and have a look and see if you can join in too, the more the merrier.
