LOVE TO CRAFT - MAY #86 -

It's time for another challenge at Love to Craft - don't the months go quickly!  As always we are an Anything Goes challenge and it's so nice to see all the different entries we get.

I've used a stamp here I haven't used before.  I was inspired to use it after creating this background piece on a gel press using Tim Holtz paint in Salvaged Patina and Salty Ocean.  I stencilled some extra bubbles on it and highlighted some of them in marker pen and white highlighter.  

The stamp is from Aallandcreate by Bipasha BK - I love all the extra wording she puts into her stamps.  I embossed it with copper embossing paste to give it an aged look.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Ideaology. I added Tim Holtz Distress Crayon in Tarnished Brass around the outside of the card.

ADDICTED TO STAMPS AND MORE - #486 - MAKE YOUR MARK

I've had this little bunny stamp for quite some time and not used him much.  He's an old one from Aallandcreate by Bipash BK. I thought it was time he got an inking for the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge of Make your Mark this week. 

I used Tim Holtz Distress Markers in the following colours - Pumice Stone and Antique linen for the bunny.  Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn for the leaves.  Spun Sugar and Picked raspberry for the flowers and Mermaid Lagoon for the bow. The Spring sentiment is from an old Tracy Evans set.

THE MALE ROOM CHALLENGE #187 - RIBBON OR TWINE

I hope you enjoy our challenge for you this  month at The Male Room.  I love to add twine to my cards so this was right up my street.  I started my card by using a background I had made with the gel press and some Distress Paints.  

I then stamped the image of the phone box in Versafine Pinecone and clear embossed it. The stamp is from a set called Phonebooth Elements by Bipasha BK for Aall and Create.  

The tag is another of the stamps fromt he same set and I added it in front of one of Tim Holtz' paper dolls - he looks just the sort of gentleman who would be trying to use the telephone. 

I'm adding this into the following :

INSPIRATION STATION - APRIL

Welcome back to another challenge from Inspiration Station. I was inspired by the globe in our picture to create this mixed media tag using stamps by Bipasha BK from Aallandcreate. 

I used a stencil from Tim Holtz and some texture paste to create some of the background.  Lots of grungy inks and stamping to go with the great images which I stamped on tissue paper.  This allowed the globe and phone image to be seen rather than cutting them out.  

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments - SC392

Welcome to another sketch challenge here at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I used a background I had in my stash made with my gel press, some Arteza acrylic paint and a stencil from my stash.  The stamps I have used are from Aallandcreate by Bipasha Bk and are called Little Wren and Background Voices.  I added some thread at the back of the birds tail.
