Sunday Stampers - Pretty

I cannot believe it's April since I last blogged, don't think anyone will have noticed, but it has probably been about eight weeks since I crafted. I had to pack up all my goodies as we have moved house and I HAVE MY OWN ICKLE CRAFT ROOM, so it has been worth it. Have a lovely new desk, am trying to keep it clean and undamaged, honest!

Well I have done my first challenge in ages too and as the title says it has to be pretty, check out http://pinkleart.blogspot.com/, go on have a go, you know you want to.

Have I managed pretty, I hope so.

I have used some adoreable stamps from Craftwork Cards and some gorgeous luxury card and die cut pack from QVC, I think the rub on is from Stampin Up.

I have managed to do the Sunday Stampers challenge for this week and am pleased with my effort, the theme this week is words, the word stamp is from Clarity Stamps.

I have used a new stamp which I bought at the Hobbycrafts show at Aintree on Saturday which is from Lavinia stamps, one of my favs. Have persisted for the last couple of hours as have usually packed up trying to use my brayer after going through what seems like reams of paper and getting rubbish results. Still carried on after getting the results I wanted with another new stamp and then went and put a big inky print on it after mounting and making into a card, DOH!

Here is the result.

Well good evening, have finally managed a couple of hours crafting this week, surrounded myself with stash and didn't have a clue what I was going to do. Thanks to Hels http://pinkleart.blogspot.com/ for setting the Sunday Stampers challenge and an idea I pinched from this months Craft Stamper, which I bought this lunchtime. I set to work and made two tags from mountboard, inked with Distress inks and stamps I dug out with a travel theme, some grungeboard hinges a brad which I coloured with a gold Krylon pen. This is how it turned out. Rubbish scanning again, but you get the gist.

Missed challenge 3 due to being on holiday in bonny Scotland but hope to catch up, I say hope.

The theme for this week was birds, so got myself into gear and killed two "Birds", (sorry), with one stone and completed the challenge and a fat book page for the Tim Holtz list on CSF.

I used distress inks in marmalade and aged mahogany, and of course Tim Holtz stamps, I used a touch of crackle paint also in aged mahogany, but try as I may I cannot get it to crackle. Hope you like and thank you for looking.
