Inkurable Stampers July Challenge

The challenge over at Inkurable Stampers this month is to make a stamped project using playing cards.

I nearly by-passed this one only cause its a little out of my comfort zone ;0). Anyway i knew the kids had an icecream container of playing cards that didn't have full decks so i went rummaging through and found the one to use on the layout. It just so happens that my name starts with "A" duh!! and it had "Australian Made" in tiny little print on the card. And well i am Australian made, lol so that sparked a little more confidence in being out of my comfort zone and making something with my playing card ;0)

 

 

 

I started by stamping in black a Kimberly Poloson Nature's Flora - Tapestry stamp and after deciding that it looked yukky i binned it!! But i really don't like waste so i retrieved it and squished some red and white paint over it using a credit card, (this helped to cover the marks from being in the bin)!

I also stamped the bottom layer of white under the "a" with the same stamp. I used all urbanlily leftovers from a class I taught down at Jamiks and finished with the hand drawn border around the pink cardstock.

All in all i was pleased with the end result, when i finally got there, lol!!

Thanks for stopping by.

I have made a card for a blogging buddy for her birthday for this challenge. (its going to be a little late ;0)

Heidi Grace clears stamp from the "Sweetest Bug Icons" set that have been coloured using tombow markers and blended with a water brush.
The blue lace i found at the lifeline shop in it original wrapping that had a price in pounds on it!! So i guess its old!! Love the colour. Some assorted ribbons held together with staples a bit of kaiser bling and a hand doodled border to finish.

Inkurable stampers April Challenge

Hello!!

Finally i have found a spare minute to upload my challenge for the Inkurable Stampers April challenge which is:

TO USE THE INKURABLE STAMPERS BLOG COLOURS OF ORANGE, BLACK AND WHITE IN YOUR PROJECT.

Well i did have something else in mind when i was thinking about this challenge but that all went by the wayside and this is what i ended up doing.....

 

I completed this with very limited supplies on hand while on holidays at our caravan. I wasn't planning on doing any scrapping but i did take some new and old stamps down and some black stazon ink as well as my Steadler triplus fineliner pens (love these pens!!) I was intending to do some stamping, really just mucking around.

I didn't have any adhesive of any shape or form, so i scrounged around in the cupboard and came up with some black electrical tape, thats what gave me the idea to work a page for Sarahs challenge, so the black thick lines you can see are electrical tape.

 

I have been quite taken with the twinchie challenge that was one of the challenges from the Inkurable Stampers Cybercrop weekend, but unfortunately i just didn't get time to do any, you can see the fantastic entries here. So I decided to randomly grab whatever stamps were on my desk and to use them each in a twinchie. I literally closed my eyes and grabbed. Coloured in with orange, stuck down with electrical tape and the big numbers were cut from an old "Madison" magazine that was floating around. I added some stamped flowers in black, again coloured them in orange and added a hand drawn doodle on the bottom left and a bit of journaling to explain what i did.

 

the little bird is from Heidi Grace "We are Family" clear stamps.

 

this groovy flower Heidi Grace "Reagans Closet"

 

and this last one from the "we are family" stamps as well.

 

I enjoyed playing just for fun and with limited things on hand and to use non scrapping items.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out the Inkurable Stampers Blog for lots of inspiring projects.

Inkurable Stampers Challenge

Hello!!

Well finally i have participated in an Inkurable Stampers Challenge!!  My friend Gina from Gingerbread told me about Inkurable stampers some time ago, and while i often go and have a look i have never participated.

But this time i did!

The challenge is to get out the alphabet stamps from your stash and use them. I am in the process of altering a book to put my cards in that i have had published so i used this challenge to get me moving on doing the title page. Now i just have to work up enough courage to pull apart the book and repurpose it (an old encyclopedia Britanicca)

Its also "bring a friend month" so a quick email to Gina and she happily agreed to be my friend and me hers, lol!! phew!! ;0)

Anyway this is my take on the challenge

 

I used my Making Memories Foam Stamps and my Stampin Up Rough Edges Alphabet stamps.

   

 

I gotta tell ya, it didn't look like this in the beginning, lol!!

Paint works wonders for covering things up ;0)

Anyway i was happy with the end result and finally i am starting on a project i have been thinking about for a while!!
