Stampotique circles challenge.

I am just in lurve with Stampotique stamps at the moment, space I'm really not much of a colour but I have really enjoyed using these . I used distress inks and a white and black gelly pen with a waterbrush.   I am really quite chuffed with how this turned out and look forward to playing with them lots more.

 Are used Neenah desert storm card to stamp on and unicorn white heroarts ink.  Well to be honest I stamped loads of this cute girl in a variety of colours and inks.  Are you distress inks in spiced marmalade and tumbled Glass and weathered wood.  At first I thought I'd made a huge mistake as I come round the edges with the black pen and it was all smudgy but I persevered and kept playing around and love the way she turned out . When I fussy cut her I deliberately did a bit Jaggi as I think this suits the style of the stamp.

 I made the background using shattered coredinations card and a crafters companion embossing folder.  I love embossing this card and then sanding it back to reveal a really cool grungy look.  I used paper smooches thanks Die and cut it out of the desert storm card, white and the coredinations . I offset them slightly then used a bit of wink of Stella and glossy accents.

 Hi Cut out a few of the circles using the blue side rather than the black, added a bit more wink of Stella and glossy accents. the little sentiment I made on my computer .

 I make this card for the stampotique circles challenge

thanks for having a look, the stampotique challenges run until 5th of May so pop over and have a play

 take care

Bring on the bling with frillie and funkie

Hi, not sure if you remember me but I'm  Tracey... the fibro has been kicking my butt, and my fingers and my... well... Everthing for just over a month now. I've been struggling to make sure I do for my kids and work which hasn't left me much me to craft with ;)  Dr has signed me off for a week as I realised I was pushing myself towards  much bigger flare if I didnt pay attention to the warning signs.  I'm not gonna waffle on About this anymore on this post but I am gonna shAre some research and tips soon.

I am popping on as I have made a card using a fabbo Flonzcraft stamp I chose from my lucky win over at Frillie and Funkie (which btw becomes fillies and flunkies.if you don't keep an eye on that auto correct chaos causer !!!!) I just love this stamp I have sooooooo many ideas for this but as their challenge this week is "bring on the bling"  I just had to turn it into a tree that grows gem leaves... now wouldn't that solve some problems ;)

The idea for the shaped cArd was from the Stretch your dies online class. This idea was by Debbie Hughes

I used lots of mica boss to.hold the distress glitter on the sides, I used x cut border dies also covered in distress glitter to form the flowers at the bottoms.  I stamped the gorgeous stamp twice and fussy cut some to the larger leaves which I then embossed and embossed and embossed which gave them a lovely rounded look.  A final sprinkling of gems, a sentiment  and voila.  The  Flonzcraft stamps are just absolutely awesome they give a really good finish and I can't wait to play with them again.  The challenge is always have a really cool thing so definitely worth checking out

I wrote this bit after the bit that follows... really if you are sane you should just mosey over to Frillie and Funkie Right now … Still here , you really gonna carry on... I need you to remember Dr two things, I warned
You, and I take lots of meds... oh and my kids will find this so funny and as I can't seem to copy to paste it elsewhere, and the FF deadline in about 4hours it following has to stay...
I was sitting here and   I was struggling with my silly old fingers hitting all the wrong keys when something popped up, after some faffin I realised it was my kindle writing what I say!!!!  Now we have some teamwork to work on , and she really needs to get my accent but will get there and morphing the Sampha crafting. What the heck ... I am using the voicey thing and thought it was going really well, although I sound and feel like an eejit taking to a comp although morphing is Sampha could be fun... anyone tried it.. heard of it... I'm a little scared to Google it!!! Anyway the next bit was me getting all OMG thank you God what is this finger saver thingumy.

 Oh my god I'm so excited I've just realised that I can talk to my Kindle and she will write what I'm saying it doesn't seem to be working again but she's back I am going to have to learn how to use this properly I think it being excited doesn't help that was me getting excited definitely worth looking into oh my god how much pain for save my fingers is just unbelievable that last sentence means I definitely need to go play with it more learn to talk slowly probably enough for dollar voice and I would usually you and what about, punctuation!
