My samples for the new Pink Ink Farmyard series........

Morning!!

Well, time once again gets the better of me but you'll see from the samples below that I've been very busy in my crafting world!

This week saw Pink Ink release their new farmyard series and they just keep getting better and better.  Not only are the stamps the best quality that i've ever worked with but there is no end to what you can do with them from normal stamping to heating for use with Angelina Fibres.

So, this release features Cool Mule, Pigtastic, Henpecked and Cow's It Going.

I have attached all the samples that I've done so far but without a shadow of a doubt, there will be many many more made with these quirky characters!!!

A bit of a photo heavy post but I do hope that you enjoy catching up to what I've been up to over the past month.

Thanks for stopping by,

Mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges for "Animals"

Good morning!

Well, we're half way through September so I'm here to remind you about this months Penny Black and More Challenge which is "Animals".

I went my usual way with this one "off piste!!!" - well, who wants to be "normal"!!!!

I've used the lovely set called Animal Wisdom by Penny Black 30-352.  I reversed one of the sheep to make this in to a lovely anniversary card - could be an engagement card or if you really want to be different, a wedding card too - especially if it's one of those country style barn weddings!!!

I have created the background with oxides and stamped the foliage from the Penny Black Delicate Silhouettes set 30-417.

The sentiment is completely out of my head and computer generated.

Backing papers have been created by myself using Pearlywinks sprays - great fun!

Please be reminded that Penny Black and More Challenge is a hand stamping challenge and the main focal image of your artwork must be that of a hand stamped image, not a digi or die cut.

Please do come and join us at Penny Black and More:-

New theme at Penny Black and more - Animals

Good morning!

Here I am with a sample that I've made for Penny Black and More Challenges new theme this month of "Animals".

I've used Penny Blacks Natures Friends 30-261 and Restful 40-567.

Just two tones of blue have been used on this card, distress oxide Faded Jeans and Salty Ocean.

The main sentiment was one from my stash to compliment the peace and joy that I've stamped around that back mat which is also from the Natures Friends set.

Do come and join us over at Penny Black and More Challenges:-

BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE MAIN FOCAL IMAGE OF YOUR CREATION MUST BE A HAND STAMPED IMAGE.  NO DIE CUTS OR DIGITAL IMAGES AS YOUR MAIN FOCAL POINT WILL BE ALLOWED.

Well, that's another Christmas card done!

Thanks for stopping by.
