In My House There Is.....

This is the first time I have taken part in a challenge over at In My House, and I admit I struggled with the shape. The theme was Doll, so I used the Russian Doll stamp that I made and stuck it onto a background made with Glimmer Mists and Distress Inks. The dolls are painted using Distress Inks too. The flowers are punched.

Button Dollz!

The challenge on this weeks Wednesday Stamper is Button Dolls. I have never done one before and it was great fun! I took the opportunity to use my Russian Doll stamp, painted her face, then added the buttons which I alcohol inked. The wings are a Graphicus stamp on an alcohol ink background. I added a couple of gems, a loop and some sparkly fabric and there she was! Thanks for the challenge.

Music, Sweet Music..

This weeks Gothic Arch challenge was Music & Lyrics. Well, for my second ever arch I chose Kate Bush's "Babushka" as my theme. The reason? This is the first relatively successful stamp I have created myself, and I have been itching for a chance to show it off! I had a stamp making kit for Christmas from my wonderful Fiance, and have been struggling to produce a good impression from one of my own drawings, but this one almost worked perfectly.
The image is stamped onto vellum that was alcohol inked, then layered onto gold miri (which looks black in the scan!). The background is dye inks on semi gloss paper, stamped with Graphicus & Paper Artsy.
