Ready-Steady-STAMP! Challenge

Here is my entry for the latest Ready-Steady-STAMP! challenge, on the theme of the sea. I have recently bought this little wooden mini tray from Crafty Individuals and thought it would be ideal to use for this one. I painted the tray with acrylic paint before adding stamped images with foam pads and silicone glue. I have used all the ingredients except one - an oval.

Wedding card

I've just been away for a lovely week at Knuston Hall in Northamptonshire on a calligraphy course. Here is a wedding card I made while I was there, including some of my calligraphy!

Greenhouses

Three little houses made for the latest house swap on Craftswap Forum - the theme this time is 'greenhouses'. The houses have to be green and include flowers. I have used various stamps on these, including the lovely tree on the middle one which is by Crafty Individuals.

Stampotique Challenge no. 4

The theme this time for the Stampotique Designers Challenge is Easter. As I am going to be busy for the next week I knew I only had limited time last night to come up with something for this challenge, so I decided to stick to small and simple. The background for this was actually a piece of scrap paper that I had used as protection under a variety of other projects! It had on it various inks, little bits of stamping, gesso, even a smear of glue! All I have done to it is to give it a quick spritz of yellow Glimmer Mist. Then I stamped Sheer in black, added the Easter eggs, and rub-on wording at the top.

... KING. I've used one of my favourite stamps by Tim Holtz for this inchy for the Inchybyinch challenge.

RSS Challenge 17

Here is a card for the 17th Ready-Steady-STAMP! challenge. The stamps I have used here are: boy by Art Journey, text by Paper Artsy, and leaves by Basic Grey. Although it doesn't show up very well in the scan, I have used sticky foam pads in several layers, and the central green panel is raised quite a lot from the base card (which is cream).
