Inkurable Stampers- Paint

Hello all!

I have my Inkurable Stampers' March entry to show you!



This card was really simple to make: I stamped and embossed the large flower stamp, splotched on various colours of paint, stamped smaller flowers and sentiment, then added some twine to finish it off!
The flowers were from a Kaisercraft set and the sentiment is from Darkroom Doors "all occasions" stamp set.


Thanks for stopping by!

Inkurable Stampers- Bookmarks

Hey Everyone!

I was very happy with the theme for this month at Inkurable Stampers! You can make any type of bookmark you want so long as you use one stamp!



I made a set of two "puzzle piece" bookmarks for my dad for this challenge. Other then a load of measuring, I stamped ,punched and stitched to make the bookmarks.I used papers from the wanted collection by Cosmo Cricket along with matching cardstock. The stamps were from a few different stamp sets, but the hand is by Cherry pie art stamps and the words are mostly from tim holtz and kaisercraft sets.


These bookmarks are to replace ones made by my brother and I when we were toddlers :)

Inkurable Stampers- One layer wonders

Wow! this challenge got me procrastinating, but i was thrilled when i finally started. It's a bit like making mail art-just go for it!




I used the stampotique honeycomb background stamp around the edges, clear embossed for a resist effect, with weathered wood and bundled sage to distress it. The feature stamp was this Stampavie Bear & Robin stamp. I used Lead pencil, white chalk pencil, white gel pen and black felt tip to colour it in grayscale. A small christmas greeting from darkroom door finished it.

Have a go at Sarah's challenge blog here.

p.s. there may be a few odd looking things, my blog is going through a bit of a revamp ;)

Inkurable Stampers- Shabby Chic Cristmas!

Aaah! Hurry hurry hurry! Last day to enter the Inkurable Stampers November Challenge!!

These are my christmas cards for my friends (first one shown is the one I am entering)

(click on above pictures for a larger image)

Once again I used my "Oh Joy!" papers (and got to use all the different ones!). The puzzle peices were with sizzix dies, stamped with various christmas stamps and distress inked. The tim holtz music stamp is fast becoming one of my favourites! Twine and cotton tied with a charm around the puzzle peices (each mounted) and Darkroom door christmas wordstrip phrases finished it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Inkurable Stampers July challenge!

Hello!
Here is my entry for Sarah's latest challenge over at Inkurable Stampers:

A close up so you can see the depth in the card.

I started of with some purple basil for the base of the card. I stamped onto white card the "Precious Moments" stamp from stampavie, which I cut out and coloured. I stamped a Tim Holtz bird stamp in black(from lost&found set), and the flowers from the "Sweetest Bug Icons" Heidi Grace set I stamped in peeled paint for some background. I used purple buttons and some cotton for flowers. I put a "hugs & kisses" sentiment from the darkroom door "All Occasions" (VERY useful) set in the middle. I folded the paper(from Bo bunny flutter butter range) in a corner for an added feature.


Thats all from me for now,

Mailart!

This months challenge over at Inkurable Stampers was mailart. I found this so fun, and I made three :D
This one was actually the second one I did, but it is the one that I am entering into the challenge.



These were the other two. On all three I followed the same process:

1. Versamark and clear emboss first stamps.
2. Distress ink :D
3. Other Stamps.
4. Extras(distress stickles, dm, etc.)
   

They were all pretty simple, but SO FUN to do!

Em-e out!

Inkurable Birthday Challenge #3

Hi all!
Sorry I haven't been posting much, but it's not Christmas and there's not many cards to do :P
It's my amazing Mum's birthday today, and I made her a card which could be entered into the Inkurable Stamper's Birthday Challenge(#3):






















The challenge was to use a technique called spotlighting, which you can find out about here at Sarah's bday challenge #3 post.

It was a pretty simple design, so I don't really know what to say as you can pretty much see exactly what I did :) The stamp is just a mounted stamp, I don't know the brand. The "love you" stamp was from Kaisercraft's "Love" clear stamp collection, and the PP is from the "Kaiser Prarie Lane" collection.


Mum and I made aprons the other day, so I might upload a photo for you :)

Thanks for stopping by,

Inkurable Stampers Challenge

Hi everyone!!!
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted.
Sarah at inkurable stampers January challenge is to make a paper art doll. I made a little bride and groom, both about 4inches/10cm tall.



I used the back of bazill cardstock to make stamping and drawing easier and clearer. All of the bride's jewellry is made of Kaisercraft clear rhinestones, and the flowers, and the groom's hair is punched out with a very small flower punch. The brides hair is Ranger distress stickles (vintage photo) and her veil is a small piece of white organza. Both the bride and the groom's outfits are Versamark stamped (darkroom door floral stamp and kaisercraft love clear stamps) and embossed(clear with sparkles on the bride and clear on the groom).
