Rainbow Friend Birthday Card

I used my flowers tag to create this card for a Rainbow Friend's birthday, over on the Creating Rainbows forum. Above is the front of the card, whilst below, is the back. I used a Wendie Rhodes stamp for this, embossed in clear, then splodged and painted with my alcohol inks, which I have not used in ages, and really enjoyed!! I do hope she likes it... don't think she blogs, so won't spoil the surprise!! I used some paper as an insert, from the flowers disc by Stephanie on her CD, and made use of the scrap left over, as a backer for my stamped image.

Thanks for looking!!

Audrey Hepburn - a Lovely Lady ATC

This little ATC is for Think Monday Think ATC and their challenge Audrey Hepburn. It is almost wholey made in My Craft Studio, with a coulple of embellies from my stash. . She made most of her best work in the Sixites. She was a very beautiful lady who died at my age of 63!! Sobering thought...

A Cupcake Symphony in Red!!

Re-visiting Marie Antoinette this week, for Small World of Inchies and Twinchies. It has taken me a while to get a new idea, as my moo , for make a Moo or Two, was featured in the sampler... So I decided to play with photo images again, for this 2"x2" piece, using 3 different pictures from Google and My Craft Studio. As she is playing an instrument in the righthand picture, I also added a sheet of music into the mix. I think she looks like a cake in the middle photo, hence the cupcake title!!

Time on my Hands

This 7"x7" piece is presented for 2 challenges - TGIF, hands, and ABC Challenge, B for blue and brown. Early ideas for the "hands" challenge were already used by a couple of other people (note to self - get going more quickly or change your time zone!!! LOL), so I had to think again. Hands on clocks seemed to fit the bill, so here they are....

Most of the stamped images are from the UMount plate, time, plus a dandelion-lookalike-agapanthus by Stampendous, and a couple from the set Avante Garde, by Stamp in the Hand. I did something for the background that I have never managed before - I used My Craft Studio to import some images from Google, then manipulated them until I was happy. I ran the card through the printer, and printed directly on to it. The stamping was mostly done straight on top, and embossed with clear ep. The whole clock was given new hands + hands and the little clock was perched on to the new minute hand... Daft but "cute" - well, as cute as I ever do!!!!

Silly Moo - They can have My Cake...

This was fun... a moo made for this week's challenge at Make a Moo or Two, Marie Antoinette. Ok!!! I KNOW the Eiffel Tower was not built yet, but I am being an artist!! The cake was a small Cuttlebug folder and the stamps are my new set from UMount - they only came today... The frame around the picture, from Google, was made in My Craft Studio. It is just a bit of silliness, hence, "Silly Moo" - well she was, apparently...

I'm Dreaming of a Masked Ball - TGIF

NO stamping what-so-ever again!! boo hoo!! But I did enjoy making this little 4x4. Did some alcohol inks and fluffy stuff for this TGIF challenge - masked ball.
