D for....


... dog! Here is my inchy for the alphabet challenge on the Inchybyinch blog.
Following comments I thought I would just clarify: the 'D' stamp is one I bought years ago - I bought one or two a week until I had the whole alphabet (they are all 1 inch square which is very useful for this challenge). The little dog is from another stamp which is actually him (or her) peeping out of a gift box - but just the right size for this inchy.

I must confess that when I read the ingredients for this challenge I thought it would be rather difficult! However, it proved to be far simpler that I imagined. First of all, the latest edition of Craft Stamper magazine was delivered on Saturday with this wonderful free stamp designed by Art Journey. Then I started to rummage through my stash to find some funky foam and craft metal - I know I've got some somewhere but probably buried under loads of other stuff - and my search unearthed a yellow die-cut wavy border in funky foam and a filigree metal flower embellishment. I stamped the image three times in different green inks and Brilliance Cosmic Copper, coloured the funky foam border with Copic markers, and heat embossed the metal flower with copper embossing powder. The other stamps I've used are by Stampin' Up.

RSS Challenge week 13




I've finally managed to finish my fan for the Ready-Steady-STAMP! challenge! I was trying to decide how and where to include the 'hearts' ingredient when I remembered that I had this lace with pink hearts on - so I was able to use one material for two ingredients!! LOL
Just realised I should perhaps have mentioned the stamps used here - various images including Art Journey, Crafty Individuals and Paper Artsy.
