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,

Catch up

Well i think its been a little too long since I posted a project, so im catching up with a few.



As my first project of the year i did an art title page. It took me ages to work out a design, but i finally got it. I sketched all the tentacles first, then coloured them in with pastel pencils, and gave them a little outline with a normal black pencil. I rubbed out all the smudges in the art letters and outlined them with a thick charcoal border to give them punch. Finally I went around the edges of the page with a bit of brown pastel.





A different view.













I did a bit of fiddling around with this kinda thing. They are suprisingly easy, so i will give you a quick tutorial :)
1. You will need a compass. Draw a full circle the size you want it (keep it in cm).
2. Use the compass point to make holes 1cm apart, horizontally and vertically. You sould be able to see them in the drawing. The holes should be in the circle and out the circle, about the same amount of holes outside the hole as the diameter or radius(I can't remember, so do diameter to be safe :P) of the base circle.
3.make sure you haven't changed the compass size since the base circle. start with one of the holes right next to the center hole. draw with the compass from where it meets with the base circle on one side, to where it meets with the other.
4. Do this with all the holes until your circle looks like mine.

I hope this tut is ok, if it is confusing i will do another one better explained :)


I am about to start on a scrap LO for school(gotta love homeschooling :D ) and i am working on a felting project, and a temari ball with mum, again for school. you can find out about them here.

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).
