This Thursday, Daring Cardmakers and Layers of Colour

Hi all
Have not been so well over the last couple of days but have managed to do a bit of crafting . So here is my peice that fulfils This Thursday opposites attract.( I thought the contrast between the coloured paper, and the black and white stamped image would work well.)
Daring cardmakers Cards with A peel ( I adore these peel off corners I bought loads of them. I used to be a peel of hater but for the last year I have found peel offs have improved and you can do some snazzy things with peel off pens and make some really doody butterflies see pic)

and layers of colour berries challenge
so this is my finished peice . The bird is actually on an acetate spring so that it trembles as if flying Which you can't see on a photo


I have also been playing with Fantasy Film dip kit that I got from Fred Aldous and I am really impressed. I created a daffodil. I am going to put this inside an explosion box card. Won't that be amazing to find this fragile daffodil inside

thats all from me for this morning will be back this afternoon with some challenges

Thought you might like to see this. I was looking through Craftster and in their "What do I do with this" section someone asked about Cigarette cartons the big ones, and this led to someone asking what to do with cigarette boxes. So inspired by my unfortuanly bin full of cigarette packets I set to work
This is what I came up with

Hope you like it. It uses tissue paper and paint to cover the box . The sealed with glossy accents. The bolt is coloured with alcohol inks . Its says Trash or recycle reuse , Inside I am going to make a matching book all about recycling tips

Rainbow Ladys challenge this week was make something oriental .


I made these a little while ago but there is an available project download sheet HERE My favorite is the decoupage bird

This Thursday, Created by hand, Saturdays Workoutand Sketches by tamara challenge entry

Well I have combined a few challenges again. 1st of all This thursdays, Clearly clever I have used Starburst Stains and Moonshadow inks which I think fit the title Clearly Clever. If you like them you can buy them at http://www.thestampman.co.uk/ I have had moon shadow inks for a while but today is my 1st time with Starburst stains and they are ace. I want them all . Plus I have used a Cherry pie art stamp , which the lucky winner of next weeks This Thursday challenge, will be able to choose a whole stamp plate of.

Created by hands challenge was pastel colours . so I created my main feature peices in pastel Starburst stains.

Saturdays workout was Raster backgrounds, so I used the stains to create a raster background to stamp on.

As the final challenge I fitted my four completed peices, into this weeks Sketches by tamarachallenge

So what does my completed peice look like

I wish it had photographed a little better the stamped images are a lot more defined in real like ans the whole thing shimmers
Oh well thats my Challenges for today.
