Getting from A to B...

Carolyn has set a new challenge, " A to B". I suspect we are supposed to go for the travel aspect, but I don't have that many travel stash, so I thought I would go a little more literal in my interpretation. So here is my A to B card. Hope you like it!

Eaty Days

The second project out of the box...I started but couldn't finish because my copper ink ran out :( so I have put it to one side for now and will finish it as soon as I can. So I picked another. Now, the other half and I like to try different food from different countries, but again it is quite difficult choosing where we "go" next on our foodie journey. So we had been picking names from a bowl, which was fine, but, well, not really ideal. Cue my next project.... a box for the country names to go in! This is now my second altered box, and I think it looks kind of cool!

Floral with Zutter!

This week's challenge on 4x4 Friday is "Floral". I finally got myself a Zutter, so this is the cover of my first ever book. Hope you like it! The stamps are Paper Artsy, sponged Kaleidocolor and a little bit of glitter!

Second chance!

Well, I get to show this off after all! This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is Asia, though I originally did this for their History theme, I missed the deadline! The terracotta army stamp is from Paper Artsy. The background is alcohol inks on handmade paper, and all other stamps are Paper Artsy too. Dymo labels painted with gold ink finish it off nicely!

Geometry ATC

This week's challenge at TMTA is Geometry. I must admit I struggled a little, but this is my ATC. You can't really see it now, but there is actually a "tree" in the background!

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.

Man Oh Man!

This week's challenge on Think Monday Think ATC is Men. Strictly speaking, this is a boy, but I really like these Paper Artsy stamps, so this is my submission! You can't really see it on the scan, but the hat and coins are raised, decoupage style. The background is left over from cleaning my brayer....more to follow on that soon! Anyhoo, hope you like it! x

It's definitely not monday!

Here is my entry for this weeks Think Monday Think ATC challenge, which was numbers. After giving it some serious thought, I remembered those painting by numbers things I had as a kid! It didn't quite turn out as I planned, although I'm not 100% sure what I had planned! The number stamp is Paper Artsy, which I brayered with Kaleidocolor. The bird stamp was from Katy's Corner. I think trimming the corners has added movement to the whole card.

Well, I finished this ATC off today, I know the image is a little crooked, but I still like the end result. I started with a hand watercoloured background, then stamped the Paper Artsy image over the top. I think I got the stamp in just the right position!Highlighted with a bit of embossing, and Bob's your Uncle! Thought I would submit this to Wednesday Stamper's open theme for this week. Enjoy!

Think Monday - Think ATC!

Here is my first entry to TMTA.
The theme this week was to create an ATC featuring a tag, but I decided to make mine from a tag! The tag was the right width, so I simply folded over the top and used the string as a fastener. I sponged with Kaleidacolor and swooshed distress ink over, then stamped and embossed with Paper Artsy stamps. I'm quite pleased with the end result!

For a Friend..

Here's an ATC I made for a friend who liked one I did a while ago. I promised him I would make one just for him and send it. So this is Andy's Asian ATC. I hope he likes it! As it's an open theme for Wednesday Stamper, I figured I would enter this there too. I hope you all like it!! The stamps are all Non Sequitur and Paper Artsy
