Animal Magic

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 'Animal Magic' So get out your animal stamps and join in the fun.  I had to use this cute mouse stamp and just had to use glossy accents on his wellies,  Went with a crisp colour combo as I love red and white.

We have sponsorship this Month from Tattered Lace


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 Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Use Your Favourite Stamp'

I did use my most favourite stamp but went a little bit different this time.  I used more subtle colours instead of the stronger, pretty colours.  I went kind of shabby chic and roughed up all the edges to complete the look, I haven't done that technique for a long time and quite enjoyed it

We have prizes from Penny Black, Crafts U Love, Sizzix, Stamp Addicts   Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your stamps out isn't it!!!!!!


Now if you would like to be a GDT for us, all you need to do is make a creation to fit the theme following our rules.

Look At My Wellies!

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Tracy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Autumn'
Here is what I did, I used this cute Country Companion stamp, and decided to do something a bit different to what I normally do.  So usually I would cut out my nestie shapes and mount them onto my card with my image on.  Instead I cut the circles out and used the outside and discarded the centres to frame my image.  I used an embossing folder on the piece of brown card but couldn't quite capture it on camera.  Everytime I tried to lighten my card as it seems quite dark, there was too much glare, so no happy medium and it looks much better in real life.

Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.
