HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS #434

A great sketch for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I grabbed a background I had in my stash and used it as my background.  

For the bottom shape I used a stencil and some Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Inks - one of my favourite colours.  The top shape was stamped with a stamp by Francoise Read called Notebook Page and I stamped the flower again on top.  

The flower stamp is from Sam Poole called Butterfly Walk and I added some of the other stamps from the set to the background.  The sentiment is an old one from Clearly Besotted. 

CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - 100TH CHALLENGE

Welcome to our 100th edition of Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge. 

Wow isn't that something.  And to celebrate I am offering a prize for one lucky winner.  I look forward to seeing all  your entries and, as usual, please ensure that your projects are mixed media.  If you are unsure we do list in our Rules what counts as mixed media.

My project is a Tim Holtz style Accordion Folio.  I created the folio myself rather than purchase the ready made one - they are very easy to make and they can become quite addictive.  This is the second one I've made in a month and this one just had to be a Christmas one using some of Tim Holtz Ideaology pieces.

HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS sc425

Another Sketch Challenge for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments and I look forward to seeing what you do with this one.  

I started my card by using some of the new Cosmic Shimmer Botanical Stains by Sam Poole in Carrot Top Green and Tea Leaves and I also added a bit of Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Spray Stain.  I then used one of the new Francoise Read stamps from Creative Expressions  called Worn Notebook Page which is a great background stamp.  The thistle in the circle is from another of the new releases called Discovery.  

I added some Tim Holtz linen fabric ribbon behind and added some lace to the bottom and some thread behind the circle. 

HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS CC415

We have a lovely soft colour palette for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  My card uses a new stamp by Francoise Read for Woodware Craft Collection called Three Butterflies.  I used three of the colours for the butterflies and kept the Petal Pink for a soft water coloured background.  I added the sentiment from a set from Colorado Craft Company called Olive Branch and popped it on dimensionals and added a co-ordinating bead to finish it off.
