My Favourite Stamp

Morning Guy's

This week at Creative Inspirations we want you to sow us

your Favourite stamp.....

Mmmmm bit of a tough one eh, my all time favourite is the gorjuss

hippie chick from sugar nellie.

I haven't done a card but i altered a cheap clock i got form wilko's.

It cost me £1.20..

I sanded away all the white paint and distressed it with my distress inks,

the flowers I sprayed with shimmer spray, added a few pearls

and a sentiment and voila......I love it.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges....

Papertake Weekly.....Bingo I used, Pearls, Blooms and Free space(inks)

Sir Stampalot......What ever you fancy

Craft Your Passion.......Anything Goes....

Make it colourful Pink week

Morning guy's,

Just a quick post from me today

I wanted to share this image with you.

I spent 2 hours the other night colouring the tree and the treehouse,

then i started the fabulous Annabel and it all went wrong......

I was using a combo of pinks that i had never used before, Antique Pink,

Dusky Rose & Baby Pink...

The baby Pink was too light and it just looked a mess, I screamed threw it on my desk,

walked away calmed down then came back to it..

I rescued it by adding a little Cool Grey 4 under the pink and i totally love how it turned out.

I'd like to enter it into this weeks Make It Colourful Challenge......

The images are all from Make It Crafty and the papers behind the

images are from TiddlyInks...

to even enter the challenges before but then i thought if i dont

push myself to try new things then no one else will.

Anyway here it is.....This week its all about unusual hair colours,

no brown's, blacks, or blondes i choose BLUE and i must admit it took me

about an hour just to do the hair...I think it was time well spent i love it..
