Chocolate Orange

I used a white tag and inked it up with Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks, I also used Versafine Vintage Sepia.   The stamps used were Script Background, Honeycomb Background and Nature 1.  Some Ribbons and metal flowers from my stash. The pearls were white and I coloured them with Burnt Umber Promarker.

Have a good weekend.

Things with Wings

The challenge this month at Indigo Blu is Things with Wings and this is my entry.

I inked with Peeled Paint, Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass Distress Paint, spritzed with water.  I embossed the Floral Swirl stamp with Wow Brass embossing powder. The butterflies from Live Love Laugh stamp set were stamped, cut out and embellished with small pearls.

Thanks for looking.

Poppies

The theme this month at Stamping Sensations is poppy inspired.

I used a 6 x 6 card blank, matted and layered white embossed card on black.  I used Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  I stamped the poppies and coloured them with Lyra watercolours. Finished off with ribbon and pearl from my stash.

Shabby Chic

This is my version of Shabby Chic - not quite sure if it is or not.  Anyway it is an 8 x 8 canvas.

I painted the background with Pebeo Acrylic paint - Antique White, Ash Brown and Pink,
I stamped Indigo Blu Script Background with Festive Berries Distress Ink, then stamped  Indigo Blu Floral Swirl and embossed with Wow brass embossing powder.  The words are from Poppy Meadow Set.  The flowers and leaves were stamped with Live Love Laugh stamp set and coloured with cosmic shimmer paint, cut out and decoupaged on to the canvas. Lace, pearls and brass embellishments from my stash.

I really enjoyed getting messy and inky with this and hope you like it too.

First Christmas Card

I got this Indigo Blu Baroque Christmas Tree last week and couldn't wait to ink it up.  So first Christmas card of the year done and dusted and many more to do.

I used an 8 x 8 scalloped card.  I used dark blue ink and stamped the edges of the christmas tree to make a backing paper.  I used Manchester Tart gilding flakes on the main image and embellished with a few gold gems.  Matted and layered on blue pearlescent card from my stash.

Summertime

Just jumping in at the last minute for Indigo Blu Challenge.   I have had my son, wife and 2 gorgeous little granddaughters over from Denmark for a holiday - so very little crafting done.

I have inked the background card with Distress Ink then stamped and embossed with silver wow powder. Some little gems to finish.

Altered Heart

When I saw this wooden heart with hook in a Pound Shop, I immediately thought "I could alter that".  So here we are. 

I painted it with Gee-Soo Good and then painted some Pebeo Red Acrylic paint on top.  I stamped Honeycomb Backgound, Script Background and part of the tree from Nature 1 stamps randomly in Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I then stamped and embossed the flowers, leaves and bird from Live Love Laugh stamp set, coloured them with Distress Ink, cut them out and decoupaged them on to the heart.

Flowers

I love Indigo Blu stamps and this is such a pretty stamp.

The background of this card was coloured using Pan Pastels.  Stamped and embossed with gold and the flowers stamped again, cut out and decoupaged.  The flowers were coloured with Cosmic Shimmer paints.
A little bow and bird cage charm from my stash.
