12 Days of Christmas 3 French Hens

A bit of a struggle with this one due to lack of hen stamp but eventually solved it with an illustration instead. Cheating a bit I know but there was nothing else for it!

12 Days of Christmas - Day 3

Here is my entry for Day 3 - Instructions on my blog as usual.

12 days challenge - day 3

Here is my entry - I could not resist showing my true colours :o)

The hens are from a children's stamp set I have had from ages, bought from either Aldi or Lidl. I randomly stamped Fleur de Lys (Clear by Design) and embossed with clear EP to create a resist, then coloured the background with Adirondak Butterscotch and Impress Spring Green. The hens are stamped in Versafine and coloured with Impress inks.

12 Days of Christmas Sunday Challenge

Here's my entry for day 2 and I have to say I'm really enjoying this challenge. Can't wait to see how inventive everyone is for the later days.

Days one and two

Here is the first day of Christmas: pears by Paper Artsy, bird by Wendie Rhodes embossed with Blonde Moments EP. Ink is Adirondak dye ink.

and here is the second day: another Wendie Rhodes bird, stamped on card with Adirondak Woodland and on acetate with Brilliance mineral. The background is inked with Adirondak dye inks and stamped with Prima clear stamps. I searched for small alphabet stamps and then remembered my Provocraft wheel - just the ticket!

Week 2

Here are my 2 turtle doves! Some stamping on this one, a feather stamp on the wings!

Week 1

Yes I know it's late but I have decided to join in this challenge in a slightly different way. I hope that's ok. No stamping (although some may sneak in on future pages!) but I am going to create my pieces all from fabric. So here is my Partridge in a Pear Tree...Details on my blog!

Sunday challenge #58 O for Orient

Here's my effort - I never seem to be able to get the gold foil to photograph properly though!

O for Orient (eering)

Well Ive been a bit cheeky here because I dont really like Oriental so Ive done Orient-eer instead!

Sunday challenge No.58 O for Oriental

and mine, inspiration from craft stamper mag July 09 cloisonne article by Carole Cann
(I have edited this to a better photo)

'O' for Oriental

I guess purists would quibble about whether this was a tag or not but as I'm keeping it I thought I'd like to do this a bit differently. The 'O' is the handle on the door which opens into a sort of oriental screen.
