Working With Scraps

Hello.  Welcome.  Last night I grabbed some pre-stamped pre-cut stuff and sorted out what was ready to use and what needed colouring or clipping.  Then tonight I decided to put some of these items together and made this

Gorjuss Girl The White Rabbit was in the scraps, as were the little pink flowers, which are Cheery Lynn BAF#3 embellishments, and the background.  I made that with brushos and some stamped and embossed Paperartsy flowers.  Then I didn't like it.  But framed with Cheery Lynn Emperor Swan border and with Gorjuss girl standing in front it looks pretty good.  

The bunnies are from Tando Mini Rabbits set.  I left them naked.  A pink rhinestone finishes each flower.  

I added a blue card layer that I smudged with Stormy Sky distress ink and mounted on a raspberry base.  

Off to see what other gems are lurking in the scraps box.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Party Blooper

Hello.  Welcome.  I was working on a inky, painty, mummy masterpiece but it is not as I imagined.  So I made a CAS party card instead with a cute little rascal from Panduro.

I coloured with sharpies and distress inks.  The sentiment is from Rubber Dance Happy Birthday set.

Hoo Are You Looking At?

To enter my giveaway go HERE 

Hello.  Welcome.  I had an idea and it became this.

 I started with a couple of metal charms from Korthobby

I cut the large charm in half and backed it with green glitter card.  I added some gold mirror card behind the owls eyes and two green rhinestones.

I cut a valley fold base card in white and die cut Taylored Expressions Southwest Cutting Plate from the same white card.  This gives a lovely faux embossed look.  

I added a green layer behind the card.  

The happy birthday is a stamp from Marks Finest Papers Tiger set.

Dandelion Tea

To enter my giveaway go HERE

Hello.  Welcome.  Just a quick post with another make for the coffee lovers blog hop using the remains of my cup from yesterday.

Glad they printed that fun design on both sides LOL.

Bright green and dandelions.  A sure sign of spring.  I used a gold textured card with black inked edges and a piece of lace printed paper.   I cut the label shape using a spellbinders die.  The teacup is a stamp from The Artistic Stamper that I stamped, embossed, fussy cut and coloured with distress inks.  I cut Cheery Lynn's Dandelions many times from white card and arranged them around the label shape.

Coffee With Friends

To enter my giveaway go HERE

Hello.  Welcome.  A while a go I went to town and had a coffee.  It came in this cup

So the thrifty crafter rinsed it out and took it home, cos I loved the colour, and the texture and the smile.  When I was cleaning up earlier today this popped up and I decided to repurpose for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I cut a section of the cup into a cup shape! and added some tabs to keep it raised off the card.  I made a painty background using acrylic paints and a brayer and added two metal heart charms from Korthobby.

I added some coffee sachets.  

Love that smile

Flying With Butterflies

To enter my giveaway go here

Hello.  Welcome.  Have you seen the new stamps from Rubber Dance?  I am smitten.  I used a piece of splatter background I made for my altered clock as a perfect backdrop for this beautiful new stamp from the Fly With Me set.  

I stamped and embossed the butterfly girl and coloured with brusho's.  I coloured her legs with an orange sharpie and stamped her wings with green ink and the Vintage Script stamp.  The butterflies are from Antique Botanicals and the sentiment from Affirmations.

You can get 25% off these new stamps til 20/3/2016.  
And there's still time to join the Rubber Dance challenge

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.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
