just ribbon

Hiya everyone, I'm on a double tonight, not wine unfortunetly lol, but challenges. Firstly Just magnolia, not sure how long I'm going to manage this challenge as at the moment I've only got three magnolia stamps, I think a little shopping trip is in the pipeline. This week they wanted us to use pink and green, well that is one of my fave colour combo's at the moment, it changes every month depending on what new papers I have, the second is a wonderful sketch from Raspberry ribbons, you really must pop over and take a look at the yummy ribbon kits they have, I've used K&Co paper, magnolia stamp, three different widths of ribbon layered on top of each other, I couldn't decide which colour so opted for all three,rest is from my stash. Hope to be back on Friday MIL is coming for dinner tomorrow night. Then its another long weekend, how I wish I could have Mondays off every week.
Bye for now

simon says

Hi, this challenge came at a good time, I needed a pot to put my paper stubs in as they were rolling around all over the place, so I had an empty gravy granuel tub so I wiped it out covered it with some K&Co papers cut some smaller pieces of coordinating paper and punched it with my Fiskars threading water punch. Stamped a Sarah Kay country girl and coloured her with my prsmas cut her out with my new nesties and then mounted her on the pot.Added a few flowers and Whala!

Stamptacular


Evening, well I thought I would have a go at a new challenge site I found called Stamptacular Sunday, link at bottom of post, and they wanted us to include a bird on our card. So I used my Leanne Ellis stamp Talking to the birds, K&Co paper, ribbon fom stash and prima flower. I coloured her with my prismas and I went a bit over the top with my chalk, it isn't quite as dark as that in real life. Had a very relaxing day with family and friends, and to top it off we had a chinese for tea hmmmmmmmm I shall now drink at least 3 pints of water and be up all night weeing, but its worth it.lol. Hope to be back tomorrow.

Merlin

Hiya, I was so pleased this morning my new stamps from Stamptivity arrived, i only ordered them on my lunch break on Monday, what brill service. As soon as I saw this stamp I new it would be perfect for my eldest sons birthday, he loves mystical things and used to do role play where he was a wizard, So with it being his Bday this month I thought why not, he also loves comic books so last year he got a spiderman card, you wouldn't think he is 29 this year lol .The sketch I've used is from Sketch and Stash and of course the new is my stamp, the old is my DCWV papers I've had for ages some of them are just for stroking. I coloured him with my Prismas , the swirl top left was from a HOTP set of swirl stamps, i did his wand with Debbi Moore metal magic and used a bit of Glamour dust on the edges of the paper.
Hope to be back on Friday.
