Colour Challenge #4

I managed to combine this weeks Wednesday Stamper theme of Fleur De Lys with this weeks colour challenge! The 'Orange' on the background, isn't orange at all in real life, it's definitely 'amber'- don't you just love scanners? The weird thing is that all the other colours are actually fine and are pretty accurate! Stamps are mainly by Non-Sequitur

Wednesday Stamper - Turquoise

This is my effort for this week's Wednesday Stamper. It's a 6 x 6 card.

Details of stamps used, etc., are on my blog

Tutankhamun Card - Colour Challenge #2

By strange co-incidence my Colour Challenge here at UK Stampers this week is Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise & Peridot this week. These gem stones (especially the Turquoise and Lapis) were used by the Egyptians in their jewellery so I was able to combine my colour challenge with the theme over at Wednesday Stamper this week which is Egypt!

Stamps: Tanda Stamps (Egyptian stamps) Judikins ( hieroglyphics & marble stamp)

Wednesday Stamper - Grunge House

My entry into Wednesday Stamper this week was a Grunge House - thanks to Sid for his inspiration and a template from Sugarloaf.

Stamps: Aud's Designs, Stampington, Hero Arts

Inks: Wisteria Fluid Chalk ink, Black Soot and Old Paper Distress Inks

The eyes see everything

my entry for this week's Wednesday Stamper is "the eyes see everything", and it is a belated tri-fold card for a friend who's birthday was last week.

I used my Keepsake Card Craft score board to create a tri-fold, and then cut along a diagonal line over two of the folds, and folded in the opposite direction on two of the folds.

The covered the longest panel with the watercolour pattern, the second panel was covered with the hearts, and the third with the watercolour pattern again. Next I inked up my Oasis French Manuscript stamp with Timber Brown StazOn, and stamped on plain copier paper. I then sponged on Peeled Paint and Tattered Rose Distress Inks with cut'n'dry foam and torn, and added to opposing sides of the second and third panels. Actually, first I had added ribbon to the sides, but this just didn't do anything for me, so I took it off and added the Manuscript paper - remember, a mistake should just be looked on as a creative opportunity!

Stamped the eye (in Peeled Paint) and the face (in Tattered Rose) on the longest panel.
I prepared a plate of pale green cardstick with one of my favourite Non-Seq stamps (the lady with the tear), coloured with my new metallic penciles, and added glossy accents to the jewels, tear and lips. Added the French Manuscript around the edges, and matted onto gold cardstock.
Placing this plate so that it overlapped onto the first panel.

"the eyes see everything" from Paper Artsy Femme Plate 2 was stamped, scanned, re-sized and printed out on to plain copier paper - then coloured with the Peeled Paint and Tattered Rose Distress Inks. After tearing out the words (except for "everything") I added a tiny amount of Versamark around the edges and Galactic Gold EP and heat set. This was added to the first panel. "everything" was coloured with the Distress Inks, and just aligned on the second panel with the wording on the first one.

Peeled Paint Distress Ink was just then run around the edges of the card.

White

This is my entry for this week's Wednesday Stamper. The theme is 'white' and I must admit that this was a real challenge for me being the colour crazed person that I am! The alphabet is a Green Pepper Press one. It's the first time I used it and I LOVE it!

Hangover Challenge

OK, so I've cheated, I did do this for Wednesday Stamper, but had fun doing it so it was relaxing. I did get to use a stamp I have not used before - the lady in the hat. I've had her for ages but have never got round to using it!
