Pick-Up A Penguin

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is my turn to host and I would like to see 'Let's Make A Start On Christmas'

Being a fairly big image it doesn't leave much room for embellies, I don't know the brand of this stamp but I think it's so cute.

This week is our lovely Susan's turn to host and she would like to see 'Sparkle & Shine'

I used this image as I love to add loads of sparkle to the butterfly, I made a background, stamping with a Big & Juicy ink pad, and again used lots of glamour dust to give lots of sparkle.

This week is our lovely Mervi's turn to host and she would like to see 'Pink October'


I coloured a House Mouse stamp, a cute one as we were going pink.  I made a lace rosette to embellish, I haven't made them in a long while, it was quite therapeutic, and they are simple to do.

Hugs

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Brenda's turn to host and she would like to see 'Colours Of Autumn'

To start with I used some brilliance ink in Coffee Bean colour and stamped my image and used some clear embossing powder, then heat embossed it.  I then water coloured it using distress inks, something I haven't done for a while, it was nice to have a change. I stamped the free hug coupon the same way, I think it's a do-crafts stamp but not entirely certain. The rest is pretty much straight forward.

It's In The Bag!!!!

Hello everyone, and welcome, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Autumn Glory', so for my image I did some masking, I stamped a Beatrix Potter image, then stamped it again on a post it note and covered the main image.  I then over stamped it with a Magnolia fence stamp to create a little scene.  After die cutting the labels I inked the edges with distress inks.  The background is a piece of patterened paper, that wasn't very detailed, I used A backgound stamp from The Stampman around the edge  and embossed with embossing powder.


We have sponsorship this Month from Penny Black with the following prize:-



And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.
