Wms sketch

Here is a card I have made for the 

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge.

The Sketch

Whilst I already had my papers out and stamp inked

I made a couple of tags too.

All Of the papers I have used are from MME.

The Text stamp is from Waltzing mouses 

Vintage Banners set.

Brads from Doodlebug.

Its maybe not so easy to see from these photos 

but the paper the 

text is stamped on is semi transparent. 

I am also entering for the CCC. challenge
where they want to see your sentiment as the focal point.

Thank you to so many of you that

 take your time to leave your comments :O)

Have fun!!

Christmas in vintage style

Firstly welcome to my new followers, always nice to see new faces.

I can't belive how many of you there are now!

I was chosen to take part in the Stamp challenge 

along with 3 other ladys for this years 5th Edition of Ett Trykk, 

a Scandinavian inspirational magazine for cardmakers and scrappers. 

I was well chuffed, and enjoyed the challenge!

We were each sent a beautiful photostamp from 

'Kreativ Hobby' 

and was asked to make 2 projects showcasing it.

I chose to make a CD gift envelope (using my own design) and a notepad.

Here is a detail photo of the notepad below.

I have used my Zutter Bind-it-all to make the spine, 

and the text stamp is from Waltzing Mouse.

Here is the CD gift envelope, 

 I have used amongst others papers designed for me by my husband.

This is the backside.

and a side view.

I had so much fun making these projects!

Thank you Ett Trykk for choosing me to take part.

Pure Balm of Friendship

Spring is on it way,

bringing with it new growth and energy.

The sun is shining through the window as I write warming my face and heart,

the snow is melting and I can almost see leaf buds on the trees ;O)

I LOVE IT!!

This colourful card is a result of the inspiration lighter days bring,

but still trying to give a slight vintage feel of spring in the '50's.

I really like the colours of this card, I have used Tim Holtz Distress

Ink pads to age the paper ( Vintage photo and old paper)

~~

~~
A close up of the 'Storyteller' roses, I have used 'star dust' stickles
to give them some shimmer, and attached a pearl to the end of a long pin.

~~
A close up of the bunting I drew and cut out, using 'My Minds Eye'
design papers from the 'Laundry Line' collection.
I have attached the bunting using both glue and 3D tape to give it a bit of depth.
I also used 3D tape to attach the stamp that I have cut out using a spellbinder.

~~
The back ground design paper is from October Afternoons collection; The Thrift shop.
I have been saving it just waiting for the right project to use it, and I am pleased I used it now.
The stamp is from a 'waltzing Mouse' collection.
I have used Archival Ink -Coffee (no thanks i've got a cup of tea ;)
and Distress reinkers to give a touch of colour.
A dress makin pin and a scrap of golden organza ribbon.
I have also used kraft paper and watercolour paper in this project.
