Another month and another challenge over at St Lukes Charity Card challenge

Patterned paper, Ribbon, Gems, Pearls, Charms, Flowers, Punches, buttons, Embossing and String.... you are asked to use only 4 of  items on your card but you are allowed to have a focal image and sentiment.
My 4 items that I have chosen to use are:  Textured Core-dinations whitewash paper which I have sanded the bottom half and embossed the top using an embossing folder. Ribbon and pearls.
The focal image is one of Joanna sheens stamps this one is the 'Wild rose'. I have stamped onto watercolour paper and used Distress Inks to colour.

New Craft shop visit....

 

On Friday I took myself off to visit the new craft shop that has opened in Yeovil Stamp'N'Craft 

had a lovely long chat with Beth (the owner) over a cup of tea and she told me what new stock had come in since my last visit.

Oh joy.... lots and lots of new Penny Black clear stamps...well it would have been rude not to have bought any wouldn't it?

Beth has a brilliant selection of stamps in the shop and amongst them are Joanna Sheens 'Wild Flower' collection and a couple of those just fell into my basket also...lOl..lOl.

My card today is one of the Joanna Sheen stamps I bought, Roses.  Stamped and coloured with Promarkers, Sliced a diagonal section off my card and used the small single rose that is also in the set to stamp a background using a Versamark ink pad. Decided then to have a little play with my alcohol inks to make a border colour to match my image. Senitment is also included in the set.... If you are in the Yeovil area the Stamps'N'Craft is well worth a visit...

Bah Humbug.....

Our challenge this week from Bah Humbug is Santa/Father Christmas.
I have used one of Joanna Sheens Vintage Christmas images from her CD,and made a frame which I have sponged and then added a corner embellishment.
Main backing paper is also from the CD but I have added a some sheet music of a Christmas carol which again I have 'aged' with distress ink.

Bah Humbug.....Challenge

This weeks Bah Humbug challenge 'Silhouettes'
I found very easy as I had an image already printed off.
Image is from one of Joanna Sheens CD's, Dancing with Shadows', printed onto acetate and then I have mounted it onto white glitter card. Kept the card very simple by just layering up black, silver and white card.
Brads were used to attache the acetate to the card.
