DCM... Beads


This is my card for the DCM weekly challenge and
the theme this week is 'Beads'.
Think I've gone a bit OTT on the bead front but then
anyone who knows me knows I like beads.. lovely shiny
beads, all different shapes and sizes :o) ... anyway where was I..
Oh yes LOL... stamp used is by Inkadinkado, the background
paper I made myself and tinted everything with Color Box
chalk ink pads. Finished off with.. BEADS!!!

Wednesday Stamper - Hats


This is the first time I've had a go at the
Wednesday Stamper weekly challenge
and the theme this week is 'Hats'.
Stamp is 'Sophisticated Lady' from Stamps
Happen which I coloured with watercolour
pencils and added a bit of glitter glue in pink
and white to accent certain bits.

Hat Inchies

This months theme for Joanne's Inchie swap
is 'Hats'!!
I've made nine but only scanned one because
getting to my scanner is awkward and I probably
would have spat my dummy lol
Stamp is by Stamps Happen and it's coloured with
Color Box chalk ink pads.

Friendship Domino Book


This Domino Book was inspired by my daughter
Freya and her school bear Matilda!! Each child
gets to bring her home for a night and write
about what they got up to in Matilda's special
diary... It's very difficult to get her to take her
back!! This was made for a swap hosted by
Melanie and the theme was 'Friendship'.


The image on the top domino is an actual
photo of Freya and Matilda that I've used
paintshop pro to manipulate to make it look
like a drawing of them.
The bottom one is a JS Personal Impressions
stamp and was stamped with black Stazon.
All the colouring is done by Color Box Chalk
ink pads and the effect is actually a lot pinker
than on the scanned images. They were finished
off with a good covering of glossy accents.

DCM Tagged.. Jeans

The DCM Challenge this week.....
'I dare you to make a card using a tag, label, sticker or
anything else you can find, thats from packaging and would
normally end up in the bin. Of course you can ink it, change
it, distress it and add anything else you like! If you're feeling
brave, I DOUBLE DARE you to make it a card for a man!'
----------------------------------
No, I'm not rich!! LOL it was a designer outlet job a good few
years ago but it's the sort of thing you always seem
to keep! Jeans stamp is my own and I used Whispers and
Tim Holtz ink pads along with some k&comany backing paper.

DCM - Fabulous!!!!


Thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and have a go at
the DCM extra challenge and use the card in a swap I'm
participating in too... the challenge is a word theme and
the word is 'Fabulous' :o)
Both stamps are Inkadinkado...



Did someone say Yellow??



This is for an Inchies swap hosted by Joanne and
the theme was YELLOW. I cheated and used yellow
card to begin with, then stamped over the top with
a black Stazon using a Whispers tree Stamp.
