Lotstodo Week 2 - In the News

Hilda has set the theme of 'in the news' for week 2 of the Lotstodo challenge. I stamped my flower images with black stazon directly onto a newspaper, mounted them onto card, cut them out and used tattered rose distressed inks to colour them. I used Crafty Individuals background papers and stamped a few dandelion images onto the paper, again using black stazon. 2 of the flowers are flush to the background and for the middle one I used foam pads. I put a black gem in the middle of each flower to embellish.


This is my second piece for this weeks challenge. I used the tape lifting technique demonstrated in full in the techniques blog. The picture has also been uplifted in the same way. I randomly stuck the tape over the fat page. Coloured with latte, ginger and caramel alcohol inks, added an embellishment and used safmat to add the words 'years gone by'.

Atc's

I applied acrylic paint with a piece of cut n dry to create these backgrounds. I chose three colours which complimented each other for each background. I then used the tape lift stamping technique to create the images. Black stazon was used on them all

I created the background for the one at the top on the left using the shaving foam technique, just using the one colour and stamped the image with black stazon

I created the background for the one at the top on the right, using acrylic paints, by applying minimum amounts of paint on the brush and stroking the card in various direcetions. I used saddle brown stazon to stamp the image

The bottom one is created using the colour layering technique. I then added a tree image using timber brown stazon. I attached this to an atc which I had previously stamped the edges with fern leaves using saddle brown stazon

All these techniques can be found on our newly created blog Technique Zone

Wednesday Stamper Challenge - Newspaper

I created this atc for the challenge set on Wednesday Stamper - newspaper. I used the transfer technique but I think I should have been a bit more random with where I stuck the tape instead of putting it in lines!!! The image of the lady that you can see is taken from a newspaper along with the writing down the left hand side. I used alcohol inks to colour and stamped the word create across the bottom using black stazon ink

Especially for Caz

This is the one I've done for you using my metal which I am very fond of. I read in a post somewhere that you wanted blue or butterflies, so now you have both, hope you can use it. Backround is stamped with weathered wood distressed ink using the harlequin PBS stamp. All the drawing is freehand. Hope you like them



Been as though you can't wait - here is one of them, it's loosely based on travel, the eiffle tower is crackle glazed, a stamp and jigsaw piece have been added and the metal watch face charm and a springy thing, I did also add an old key, but it fell off, which was quite a good thing coz I'd forgotten to allow for holes to put it all together!!!! Background is done using the transfer techinque with selotape to enable it to be covered using alcohol inks, images have been stamped with black stazon
