Time for fashion

Are you ready? time for another challenge! and time to introduce another new sponsor, a little while ago we were approached by Leo of Flonz Stamps in New Zealand so we bit their hands off and for the first challenge they are offering :

first prize: coupon for $20 in my shop (with free shipping)

my own personal prize for a vintage style card that I love: coupon for $20 in my shop (with free shipping)

all competitors who will send their works to this challenge will receive a special 12% discount using this code in my shop.   Code to use GMABP

Wow!!!! Leo's been so generous to all our followers :-) You deserve it you guys are great!

The lovely Hazel, has chosen the theme for this challenge, she's chosen Fashion as the theme, and she especially loves 1950's fashion because it reminds her of the dresses her mum used to wear. Seems like a few of the DT me included felt the same.

We're still in winter here in New Zealand, so sorry the photos a bit darker than I'd like, I've been waiting in vain for it to get brighter.

Have a great week, I can't wait as usual to see what you all come up with.

Journal Page

I've been doing more with acrylic paint gesso and sprays recently both on canvas and in journals. Here's a page from today.

I started by gessoing and spraying with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist, and while still wet mixing in the  spray. I waited for this to completely dry. I then put the page face down on my craft sheet where there was some spray left from another project. I added tissue tape, which i coloured with Versa Colour ink pad and gold acrylic paint.
I stamped with stamps from Rogue Redhead Designs Carnival Dream set- the couple and stars.
I then sprayed some more, added a big streak of Arcylic paint which I dry heated with my heat tool, to create bubbles.
I then coloured and added my words with pens and markers.

I'm entering this page into the following challenges:

Paint it at Simon Says Stamp and Show

and Anything Goes over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges where it's their 1st birthday :-)

Dance With The Moon

I had a spare 40 minutes before picking the kids up from the bus, and I really wanted to play along at Simon says Stamp and Show this week as it's All Girly :-)

I've cut an ATC out of chipboard, covered in tissue tape then covered in Picket Fence, then added various inks, sprays and stamped the frame and silhouette. I then added the cute girl chatting to the moon image.  To finish I added embossing powder, micro beads, pearls and a layer of Beeswax.

I love the texture that the mixing of the beeswax and embossing powder produces.

I'm also entering this little inky ATC over at Fashionable stamping challenges where they what us getting inky.

Buttons and Bows

It's new challenge time at Craft Room Challenge, thanks for sharing all your sporty crafty pieces, there were some fun entries in our last challenge. For this fortnight I'm the lucky hostess and I've chosen Buttons and Bows.  I'm hoping you get inspired in lots of different ways. My fellow DT members have produced some gorgeous pretty things.

Here's mine: I've made a shabby chic card, with a Friendly Plastic button that I made my heating up 2 colours and running a toothpick over them like you would icing on a cake. Then popped through the Big Shot with a circle die. Punched some small holes and Volia! a button.

I've collaged my own background by stamping and sponging, and randomly added some embossing powder.

Have you guessed our sponsor yet?? yep that's right Liz from Rarebird has given us another cool prize for one lucky winner.

Stamps: Crafty Individuals and Stampers Anonymous.
Cardstock: Stampin Up!

Relishing Twinchies

I Love twinchies!!! for all their size I love how you can actually get heaps of detail on them. For these twinchies I've used the Relish Reading  set at Rogue Redhead Designs.

Twinchies are 2 x 2 inches in size and usually have a sturdy base like chipboard, you then add whatever you fancy.

I started with my chipboard base and then added tissue tape. I then added some inks, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, stamped my chosen images from the Relish Reading set then embossed.

I'm going to enter these over at Simon Says Stamp and Show No Rules Challenge.

Have a great weekend everyone, sadly I'll be working, but I'll catch up with you all next week.
