Cock-a-Doodle Hi

Hello.  Welcome.  Today I decided to play with the gorgeous Rubber Dance Rascal Rooster.  I dressed him in autumn colours and kept it CAS.

I stamped Rascal Rooster with black archival on a white card base and used Promarkers to colour him.  Love that Chilli Red for his comb and wattles!!  I stamped the sentiment from Rubber Dance's Norwegian Greetings.  It basically says Hi, in a cute happy sort of way.  

The Rubber Dance challenge has moved to the new Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on facebook.  Hop over and join the fun.  See you there......

Hello.  Welcome.  A little reminder for the Rubber Dance challenge and an ATC for Janis.

I keep hearing it's carnival season so Rascal Rooster decided to go all Mardi Gras, inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours and the theme of Hearts.
I stamped and embossed Rubber Dance Rascal Rooster and stamped the small heart from Arty Hearty with red staz-on ink.  I coloured the rooster, hearts and background with Promarkers, sharpies, distress inks and brusho's.  One layer very mixed media LOL.

You can join up your makes using the colours or the theme until the end of the month for a chance to win a gift voucher to the shop.  Have you seen the new release??  It's fab and it's on sale!!!  Hop over and check out the amazing bundle deals and don't forget if you spend over €15 you can get free worldwide shipping with my code GTFreeShip

Hello.  Welcome.  An interesting tutorial by Sandy - One Sheet Wonders.   Basically you take one sheet of patterned paper and make multiple cards.  

Here's the 5 cards I made using a 8" sheet of DCWV patterned paper, some brown card for matting and red Bazzill card bases.  Decided to keep it manly.....

This is Rubber Dance Rascal Rooster coloured with promarkers.

  
ODBD Rex, stamped on patterned paper and I've popped up his head to give some dimension.  

A cute santa head from MFP's Holiday Tags set coloured with promarkers and some glitter on the hat.

DRS's Saddle Up Cowboy coloured with distress markers.  

Flonzcraft Giraffe coloured with watercolour pencils.   

I have one panel left.  Think I shall make a gift box for these.  Tomorrow.

I Have Stamps

Hello.  Welcome.  At christmas my niece was here.  She loves to colour.  She wanted a colouring book and I didn't have one.  So I got out some stamps.  The delight on her face when I lifted the stamp.  It was magic.  It is magic.  But I had forgotten.  Until I saw the tutorial by Sandy to make your own colouring book.  

I cut some 10x10cm pieces of cad and stamped MFP's Tiger, Penny Black's Cat, Crafty Individuals Penguins and Rubber Dance's Rooster in black archival.

Here's my little colouring book held together with a wire.  Great to have on hand for the next visit by the young artist.

R is for Rooster

To enter my giveaway go here

Hello.  Welcome.  We are having a lovely week here in Norway with lovely sunny calm days.  It's been a little quiet here in my little corner of blogland as I have been spending much time in the garden.  Look, signs of spring......

Then today some lovely new stamps arrived from Rubber Dance Stamps and I couldn't wait to get them inky.  Here's my first project with the newly released Rascal Rooster, just in time to join The Craft Barn's Alpha challenge for 'R'.  Was so excited when I saw this one.  I keep chickens and this is a beautifully detailed and very realistic stamp.  Love it.  Here he is......

So here we go, rooster n. (US) domestic cock.  I kid you not!!  That's the OED definition.  One feels they could have expanded a little....  I covered my playing card with some Basic Grey yellow patterned paper.  I stamped the background with stamps from the Rubber Dance Round In Circles set, the large circle in yellow and the small linked circles in blue.  I stamped Rascal Rooster, coloured and fussy cut.  Then I made his neck by repeatedly stamping the long feathers from the stamp on a piece of card and coloured it blue.  I will be back with this gorgeous stamp again soon.  Oh, and there's a massive 25% off this new release until 20/03/16.  Go HERE for details.
