New Home...personal stamp challenge no 4

Hello All,

Today is another rainy day here on the south coast!! So much rain everywhere lately!

Anyway on to today's card I have made a new home card for my neighbours they are moving away as I write this.

Onto my 4th card in my personal stamp challenge, to try and use my neglected stamps.

I am using some free stamps I got from a magazine, I stamped them and masked some to make a scene, then coloured in using my Promarkers.  I then matted it onto some brown and cream card. I then attached a piece of patterned paper from papermania the secret garden paper pack to my base card. Added a piece of washi tape and then the image. Finally a tag decorated with washi tape and a greeting,ribbon.

This is the stamp set I used.

A Perfect day.....

Good Morning,

I have a card here made for the new challenge over at Artistic Inspirations, the theme this week is anything goes/Animals.

I have used a lovely image from Floppy lattes. The winner of this weeks challenge gets a voucher.

I printed off the image and coloured it in using promarkers, i then layered it underneath a stripy piece of patterned paper (from the secret garden Papermania paper pack), which i die cut out an arch shape and a smaller one to frame it, to try and make it look like a window. I used Sizzix Tags rounded framelits.
I then added a few flowers from my stash and a greeting stamped from my stamp collection onto some patterned paper from my stash and then matted onto some brown card, both were cut using another couple of sizzix dies.

New Baby Boy .....

Good Evening, 

This is my own personal challenge no3 to use my neglected rubber stamps!!

I have made the card below for my friend she has had a boy! So exciting! I have made a matching tag too.

I have used the dies below to cut around the image which i coloured using promarkers, I also die cut the kraft card beneath. Attached a piece of blue gingham paper, some ribbon, bow and some stickers I stuck onto clear vellum then cut out, and attached to card as if on a washing line. Finally I added some hessian string and a metal charm. The tag I just stamped and coloured using Promarkers, and added a faux stitching around the edge.

These are the stamps I used, they are from Stamposaurus. So cute aren't they?

Hot flowers......Rubber stamp personal challenge 1

Hi everyone,

I have decided to challenge myself to try and use my rubber stamps that I own, as I have so many and lately I have been neglecting them! I have loads I have brought but also quite a few freebies from magazines. So without delay here is my first card.

I have made this card with hot colours in mind.....

I stamped the large flower corner along with the butterfly and greeting, all from the freebie I got from cardmaking and papercraft magazine.

I then coloured them in using Promarkers, and die cut them using a sizzix clear scalloped square die. I used colours which matched the printed backing paper ( Another freebie Kate Knight tropical papers ). I added a little bit of ribbon to finish.
