Hugs to you

I had these stamps since a while now, which are called Flourishes Set 1 from Tanda Stamps . This is lovely set and I wanted so much to do a few techniques with them but I have managed to so only this one so far. I have stamped onto transparent vellum using white versma colour ink pad.The butterfly is a stamp from clever cut .I have stamped some flourishes images again onto pink vellum this time.Then I have cut out some flowers from the pink vellum and I have attached them onto the transparent vellum using white brads while making sure they match the one underneath. I used my fiskars cutting shape to do the scallop edge and glued everything down onto pink card. Next I have cut the edge of the card and some dotty paper from DCWV spring stack to get a scallop edge. I mount the dotty paper and align it to the edge of the card, then mount the stamped images on top. I finished off gluing down some satin pink ribbon and stamped 'Hugs to you' from Hero Arts set.

I just love these stamps.I think they can be used for many occasions....watch out this space as I will be doing some more with them.....how about heat embossed them??

Celestial

This is the Daring Cardmaker's Challenge for Friday 08/06/07

and the dare goes:
Hi it's Keryn here and it's my turn to set the dare this week. This time I asked my family for ideas for this weeks dare and the best amongst a lot of ideas including power tools etc, etc was Lachlan's ideas for Space. It's been his topic at school this term. (Lachlan is seven and in Year 3). To make in a little easier on you all I've called it Celestial to also include horoscopes as well as planets, spaceships, stars, suns etc. How you use these items is up to you.

Okayyy! These are the materials I took out to do this project as I didnt really know what to make for this challenge....

I came up with...

I have used tanda horoscopes stamsp, and clever cut stamp(fairy), and some chalking for the backgroun. The fairy has been stamped with versamark then brushed over with pearl ex.

Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Daring card makers Challenge - Friday 01/06/07

This is what I've came up with. This is to start me off as I have been lacking inspiration since two days now....complete lack of creativity. I've opted for acetate as I already had some and I wanted to use these stamps since a while now. I find this challenge to be very interesting and challenging indeed. Now that I have been able to unblock the main stop button, I hope to be able to let go now.I will do some more later on.

I have used 'paisley set' from Clever cut on clear acetate . I have also used versamark ink and chalk for a light background with the same stamps. I cut away a piece of the front card and attached the stamped acetate (I have used permanent ink)to the front card with eyelets. I finished off with a piece of card stamped with a tiny 'thinking of you' stamp.

Accordeon Me Book

The inside of the card:I have used the Floral shoe stamp and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I really like this stamp as it is very different and quite unique.I have also used clever cut stamps which gives a vintage feel to this piece of work as vintage is one of my favourite theme. I had some Blue Cardigan design sheet (BCD047- impressionist quote) which I have used as layers.They are quote about artists and Art. I have used a piece with the lettere T as my name starts with T as well.I dont think you could see it on this picture but on the right hand side, I have used versamark ink and chalk to reveal a butterfly stamp.These pages here are the techniques I enjoy working with and the quote about the artists represent the other side of me, my artistic side. I have also included so brads as they are easy to use but yet very effective. They can be an embellishment on their own.
