The Fox & The Hives

My rainbow colours are Blue, Red and Green, I created a background with Dylusion sprays and Distress Oxide sprays, I love layering oxide sprays on top of the Dylusions as it gives a lovely chalky effect.  I used various Lavinia stamps to make my scene.  Added a bit of glitter, Job done!

By Moonlight


 












Welcome to my blog, we're at mid way for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, so there's still time to enter if you haven't already.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Fantasy And Magical'   As with all my scene style cards I started with the background, using Distress Inks and creating a moon.  I then placed my fairy and Hare, grounded them and then went on to build the scene.  And of course some sparkle, you can't have a fairy without that sparkly fairy dust.

We have sponsorship this Month from


'be Creative!'

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.



And now onto my second challenge creation for We Love Chocolate Baroque, where the theme is 'Springtime'  I stamped the image from the 'Thistle Butterfly set', onto a circle that was inked then stenciled.  I did two strips along the top and the bottom.  The sentiment is from a set from Chocolate Baroque called Butterfly Perfumery .  I highlighted parts in gold gel pen.


Is the winners choice of an A4 Chocolate Baroque stamp set, or stamps to the same value. We will also be on the lookout for our next Featured Designer selected from entries using Chocolate Baroque stamps.

Tweet Kisses

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

This week it's my turn to host and I would like to see 'Butterflies, Birds & Bees'

So for my background I used Distress Oxides and blended around the edge, then using a stencil I went back over it in the same colour to add some interest, then a few splashes of water.  I stamped a House Mouse image and coloured with Faber Castell Aqua pencils, stamped my sentiment just below the image to finish off.

In A Perfect World

Welcome to my blog, Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all have a good Easter holiday.  
It's a new month for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque 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 'Fantasy And Magical'   As with all my scene style cards I started with the background, using Distress Inks and creating a moon.  I then placed my fairy and unicorn, grounded them and then went on to build the scene.  And of course some sparkle, you can't have a fairy and a unicorn with out that sparkly fairy dust.

We have sponsorship this Month from

'be Creative!'

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.



And now onto my second challenge creation for We Love Chocolate Baroque, where the theme is 'Springtime'  I started this one by masking off around the edges, I used Distress Oxides with a stencil brush to do the background.  Then I stamped the images from the 'Thistle Butterfly set', and coloured them with pencils and highlighted with a Posca pen.  The sentiment is from a set from Chocolate Baroque called 'Life Is So Much Better' and it has two lines to it but I masked the bottom line off and just stamped the first line.

Is the winners choice of an A4 Chocolate Baroque stamp set, or stamps to the same value. We will also be on the lookout for our next Featured Designer selected from entries using Chocolate Baroque stamps.
