SS Lost in France

Well here are some more of the little squares, these do actually only measure 3x3 inches, but seem to look larger on here, much the same as before, homemade papers, stamps from various places, a bit of glossy accents and wax seals, crackle paints, sorry the stamp at the top is the same as Angie and Rachel used, guess we all went shopping at the same place LOL. hope you like them and I believe there are just 2 left to complete, hooray and thanks for looking xx

A Stampbord Explosion

This 12 x 12 Stampbord collage has been made using 16 pieces of 2 x 2 Stampbord Tiles. I have done various backgrounds on each tile, some with Alcohol Inks and Distress Inks, Embossing and Crystal Laquers. what I can tell you that every stamp I used came from http://www.theartisticstamper.com there are the new Clarice Cliff, the new Linda Luckin and some older ones there ( quite a mixed bunch) I have scratched out on some and Shrink Plastic words on others, most have been finished with the edging done with a Gold Krylon Pen.

sorry the pictures not fantastic, hope you like this and thankyou for visiting my Blog, I appreciate your comments xx

My Time To Craft Challenge, Quotes And Sayings

These cards for My Time To Craft Challenge are using my own made background papers, suprise, suprise !!!!!! the first card is all script stamp background in broken china and faded jeans distress inks. the stamp is from an E-Bay seller and I thought it was quite different so bought it. I have matted the image on Silver Mirri Card and put blue brads in for decoration, now the message stamp I love but with out running downstairs I am not sure who by.

the 2nd card is using different homemade paper, its been done with perfect pearls and water and painted on, then the stamped Diva on the top ( same seller as above) she is matted on Silver Mirri also and on Blue cardstock. the script is using tea dye and broken china distress ink pads and a litlle spiced marmalade thrown in for good measure, the script again not sure who by ( gosh I am hopeless LOL) but is also on silver mirri card but at an angle. hope you like them both and thanks for looking xx this challenge is fun as I have loads of quotes I could use, might have to do more .

Craft Stamper Projects

I made these from some designs from an old Craft Stamper Magazine, You know I am dragging some old stuff out and you can blame Lydia LOL, sorry Lyds had to blame someone. the reason I am bringing it out as I think the Blog does make it look better ( though that might not be such a good thing!!!!!!)

Well remembering what I used it fairly hard without having a rummage in my stamp stash, as thats got rather large think I will just say I have used Rubber stamps, if anyone recognises any then please do tell. I can safetly say that all the papers the Images are Stamped on I made with Alcohol Inks and used my faithful Rustic Gem papers and Plain Cardstock.

hope that you have enjoyed looking at these as much as I did making them, thankyou all xx

Sunday Stamper Challenge Oriental

I used Artistic Stamper Ephemera plate 1 for the background stamps, then again broken china and faded jeans distress inks, alcohol inked background for the stamped man(crafty Individuals stamp) matted on to silver Mirri card and silver brads in each corner.
I am totally hopeless at describing what I have done, but hope you like them x
