Mid month reminder at Penny Black and More Challenges for "for boys and men"

Morning!!

Here I am with your mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges for this months challenge theme of "for boys and men".

Now, I know this is primarily pink and green but some men like pink right? - My husband loves to wear pink tops, shirts and shorts!!!

I've used my new Penny Black stamp again for this sample which is 40-604 Wiz and just at the edges included the die cut trees which are 51-270 Beneath the Birches by Penny Black.

I've created a distress oxide background and coloured him in with Spectrum Noir aqua markers and just like my sample at the beginning of the month, I've allowed the ink to bleed slightly which I think is a fabulous inky look.

Do come and join us at Penny Black and More Challenges, you've got until the end of the month to join in and there are prizes to be had:-

Please remember that this is a hand stamping challenge and the main focal point of your artwork must be that of a hand stamped image, no digital images are allowed.

Thanks for stopping by,

Luna Fairy for entry in to Stamping Sensations Challenge this month..........

Hi there,

Here is another of my Luna Fairy samples and I'm including her in her own blog entry so that she can be entered in to the current Stamping Sensations challenge of anything with wings.  Well, I thought we have fairy wings, butterfly and I think that's a pretty moth with wings too!

So here's a detailed description of how I got there with this one:-

Luna is such an enormous stamp that this time I decided to show that you don't have to use the whole of a large stamp if you want to make a near normal size of card. This has started life on a 7 x 7 inch piece of watercolour card and popping Luna down to one side enabled me to take the card down in size and gave me enough room to add other elements with her.

A distress oxide background and Luna is coloured with Zig clean color markers (which I am so enjoying using at the moment - they are so vibrant).

The small flowers and book down at the front have been 3D'd on 3D glue gel but that doesn't show too well on a photograph.

Mat and layered with black and a nice shiny hot pink mirror card.

I would like to add this to the entries for this months challenge at Stamping Sensations of things with wings:-

This one was great fun and made me smile - it's a "happy card"!!!

Luna Fairy

I am attaching Luna to a post on her own so that she can be shared in the Allsorts challenge of sun, moon and stars this month.

Luna was one of my samples done for Pink Ink Designs for yesterdays shows and here is in detail how I got there with her.

She has a distress oxide background and has been given that huuuuge spotlight of a moon using a mask made with masking paper.  Coloured with Zig clean color markers and faux bleached around her to give her "energy".

This was a large card measuring 9 inches square as she is such a large stamp!

Finished with my new obsession of Swarovski hot fix crystals, they are so beautiful, they "blink" at you as you move the card!.

I am entering her in to the Allsorts challenge of sun, moon and stars and the link to that is below:-

My samples for Pink Ink Designs this week.........

Hi there!

Well, I'm guilty as charged I'm afraid, I have neglected my blog a bit as I've been on my holidays and then when I came home I have been so busy making samples for TV.  Then in amongst all of that I decided to move my whole craft room to another room in our house!  To say I was exhausted is an understatement but I'm all moved in, can't find anything now mind you, but I'm all moved in and am ploughing on and am very very happy to have some room for once!!!!

So, here I am making a special effort to share my samples that I made for yesterdays Pink Ink Designs shows on Hochanda.

The new stamp sets are Pinky Inky (the Octopus) - isn't he fabulous!!! Seahorse Swirls and Luna Fairy.

So here they come, hope you like them......

I would like to enter the first Luna one in to the current Allsorts challenge of Sun, moon and or stars or something for baby:-
