Welcome to my newest follower Donna.

Thanks so much for following my blog.

Double post

Our May challenge and our FINAL one over at 

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is Cute Creatures!

As always there is a fabulous prize

so be sure and get your entry/entries in!

I went with this poor giraffe and made a bookmark.

The background was made on my gelli plate

using acrylic paint and sponges

but I did mask off my giraffe first.

I then added some embossing paste (TH)

and a leaf stencil (SU).

At the bottom I added some green fun flock

to ground my giraffe.

I removed the mask and coloured him

up with markers.

I stamped the sentiment and chopped it up

to fit down the centre of the bookmark.

I finished it off with some black wool.

The Giraffe is from an old SU set

called Back on your Feet.

For our May challenge over at

We Love Stamping

the theme is 

All Creatures great and Small.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too

so come and join us!

For my card I used a cream base which I didn't like

so I inked it with green ink.

I then stencilled the background using a stencil

from IndigoBlu in green ink and

ran it through my sewing machine.

Next I stamped the gorgeous fox (IndigoBlu)

and coloured him up with markers.

I ripped around the edges of him

and before sticking in place,

I added some string so it would

show behind him.

I stamped and inked the sentiment,

chopped it up and placed on my card

to finish.

In the pink!

It's time for our May challenge over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where I have chosen the theme of PINK.

You can add a little or a lot, up to you,

OR you can go with the anything goes option.

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate

using a mix of acrylic paints in pink and white.

I laid a piece of lace over the paint

to get the nice soft texture.

Next I stamped some text along one side using

Gorgeously Made stamps (SU)

and stencilled some dots with 

TH embossing paste on the other side.

I stamped some flowers in pink from

Painted Seasons (SU) and arranged them

at the bottom of my tag.

I punched some butterflies out of the

waste paper from the gelli plate and

positioned them around the sentiment

from Framed Florets stamps (SU).

I finished by added some pearlised enamel

dots in red and added some lace

tied with ribbon to the top.

I would like to enter this into

For my ATC I used the gelli plate again

with a piece of old lace material and

pink and white acrylic paint.

I added more petals to the flowers using

the pink paint and a brush

and then embellished with some colour

using acrylic markers.

I finished with some faux stitching,

pearlised enamel dots and a

sentiment.
