RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE..........AUGUST 2022

 

 Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I do hope you will all have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

The weather has been fantastic this summer hasn't it.

 

Today I am posting my entry into the August Rudolf Challenge over at

SCARPPYMO'S BLOG 

 as it's not my month for my DT I can enter the challenge.

 


 



These are both 6"x6" size cards

I used Cardio Stamps and stamped the designs by hand and only used my stamp platform for my verse inside.

The sentiment stamps are Woodware.

Got this idea from the You Tube just put my take on the images.

The You Tube I got the ideas from was Attic Lane, and Aldrige Crafts.

I used a selction of DOI to colour the edges and the matt layer of the circles.


Thank you for your visit and precious time.

PARTYING IN THE SUNSHINE

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I do hope you all have something nice planned for the weekend.

Been having a play again with my Lavina Stamps and inks this morning.

A few years ago I promised myself to do more stamping cards and never did it.

So hopefully I will rectify this now.





This is a 7"x7" size card.

I inked my cardwith DOI Rustic Wilderness/ Spiced Marmalade/

and Fossilized Amber making sure I used a mask for my sun.

I then stamped all around the card with first and second generation stamping with my Lavina Snow Shrub and Falling Ivy stamps in Versa Fine Clair Ink in the colour of Shady Lane.

I then spritzed it with water and my fan brush.

I stamped my Pixies in Versa Fine Onyx Black and highlighted their wings with a glitter sakura gel pen sprinkled some fairy dust with the pen also.


Thank you so much for your vist and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

SISTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I have recently be buying some new stamps and have been having a play with them.

This card is made with Lavina Stamps, and all the stamping was done by hand.

I have been watching Jo Rice on You Tube to help with my fear of stamping and inspiration.

I was quite pleased how this turned out for my first attempt.

 



This is a 7"x7" size card.

I inked my card with DOI in the colours of Faded Jeans/ Mermaid Lagoon/ and Broken China.

Then I spritzed it with my water fan shaped brush.

I also used a spray bottle with pearl mica mist and water in it, but it doesn't show up on camera.

Then I stamped the Lavina Snow Shrub stamp in first and second generation stamping with Versa Fine Ink.

I then stamped the Lavina Stamp Small Pixies in the sky and added some Sakura Glitter pen to their wings and some small dots as their Fairy Dust.

As these stamps are Nbus I am trotting off to  Darnells to enter Nbus challenge.

The type written sentiment was from a Hunkydory Book of type written sentiments.

I have also made a Christmas one similar to this one and added a moon as I thought that was missing on this one will show on the Rudolf Challenge next month for my DT.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I used silver rainbow mirri card for the bottom matt of the card and box.

Then I used pearlised card for the top layer.

I made a corner pockets on the outside of the card and the inside of the card, and then edged them with ribbon.

 Then die cut heart shapes to slot into them with the recipients names and a verse inside.

Flowers and leaves from my stash.
