Ladies

I must admit I have been neglecting my Fat Book Lists on the Craft Swap Forum since I've got back from Egypt. However, last night I made a start on them, and I do feel better for doing that!

This is one I made using Hot off The Press papers and a lovely stamp by Hero Arts called `Intriguing Lady', which I inked up with an Adirondack `stained glass' ink pad. I finished off with a ribbon stapled to the edge - hope you like it :)

The Sunday Stampers

This week's Sunday Stampers Challenge was set by Lesley in honour of her birthday, and her theme was `Green' (cus its her favourite colour). I dont know why but I dug out this stamp, I haven't really used it much and I dont know why cus she is quite unusual!! Anyway, I made this card, stamped in green adirondack lettuce ink, layered up on different green textured card, added a green ribbon and a brown flower (I know it doesn't look brown, but it is!), and a couple of brads, oh yes, and I used chalks to dull down the white card!

Sunday Stampers Challenge - Love

I decided to take part in a new challenge hosted by Hels called The Sunday Stampers and this week's theme is `Love'! I chose to make an atc, so I dabbed some adirondak inks (raisin and Lettuce) onto my non-stick craft mat and then spritzed this with water and dragged my atc through the mess and then dried it with my heat gun. I wasn't too pleased with the results so I rubbed the raisin over certain areas which made it look a bit better! Then I stamped the images from a Magenta set that I have and embellished with a few tiny black gems and added some ripped brown paper down the left edge - hope you like it!

Green Pages

I've recently joined the 3 for 3 fat book swap on `Our Refuge', and this month the themes are Green and/or Spring. I've decided to do `Green' and this is what I've been making tonight!


They are all basically the same, as in I've used Adirondack Lettuce, Peeled Paint and also shades of green from my petal point chalk ink set.


I didn't intend this to happen but they all seem to have a lady stamped on them! I haven't had this Hero Art stamp long, in fact Sockscat encouraged me to buy this when we went to Westpoint last year as it was `a very good price' - I'm glad I listened to her cus I do like the image and she stamps up really well!


This next one is a stamp I've had for a while and I actually rubbed a baby wipe over the inked background (pinched this idea from Shazzapat) and it gives a nice effect, then I added some fibres to the side.

The last one is more of the same really - I do like her but I've often wondered why they didn't give her any legs!
