Everybody Art Challenge............Another Card form!!!

It is time for another Everybody Art Challenge and this week our theme is....

Another Card form/shape

I used Mo Manning's little ballerinas - I have used the front image many times but never used inner one before and this challenge gave me opportunity to use them together. The lovely Kjersti's  gave me this idea.

I'm not sure using the shape was a good idea - it made it somewhat difficult to put it all together!!

Lovely hAnglAr or sweet Magnolia

Dies  .  Ribbon  .  Doily

I've arrived in the UK eventually - still waiting for my things to arrive although I can't move into my new home for three weeks - eeeek!!!

I filled my suitcase of crafting goods (no clothes - apart from underwear) but I still had nothing I wanted to use for cards!!!

This photograph is weird - it took three or parts of camera's to get this photo done - the colours are all distorted the pink is actually orange - just a little paler than the orange although the blue and green are reasonably OK.

Tilda is coloured with  Prisma Colours and Polychromos and the papers are Basic Grey Kioshi.   I didn't have a doily tucked away in my suitcase so I substituted with a Memory Box Quin Flourish.  

Materials and Tools 

Stamps:  Magnolia

Medium: Memento Tuxedo Black,  Prisma Colours and Polychromos, Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks.

Papers: Simon Says Stamp White Card Stock,  Basic Grey Kioshi

Dies:   Memory Box Tiffany Frame, Memory Box Quin Flourish, Simon Says String of Hearts

Miscellaneous:  

Tools: Martha Stewart Scoring Board, Tonic Studio Guillotine/Paper Trimmer, Fiskars - Stamp Press, Tombow Multi-Liquid Glue, Scotch ATG Advanced Tape Glider, EK Success Cutter Bee

Simon Says................................Father's Day/Masculine

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for our  Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

FATHERS DAY/MASCULINE

It will be Fathers Day on June 15th, you can also choose to make anything for a Man/Boy

We are showcasing Ranger Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

               I made two cards, the original one (at the bottom) is much nice but wouldn't photograph - the colours are distorted so I finished another I had started some time ago.  I say a similar design ages ago but stuck in my mind - I do like the card itself but is a little pinkish for a Male card.

 

The Tim Holtz  Stencil - Raysis used for the background with Mini Distress Ink Pads,  Magnolia flourish stamps with ColorBox Frost White ink and embossing powder.  I added a Spellbinders Nestability Heart dies with a Simon Says Stamp Large Heart Craft Die Doily and a Sketch Banner with Kelly Purkey stamp Dude.

This is the one original and used the Stencil - Raysis with Tim Holtz Fanciful Flight. I used Embossing paste and used the inks in-between the embossin which I had glitterd. The corrugated card is a base for the stencil. I used a few of Simon Says Stamps to use the sentiment. 

The Tim Holtz Crinkle Ribbon is used with the distress inks.

Thank You to our wonderful Sponsors and Teamie for your great generosity! :)

I used a Joanna Sheen The House-Mouse Triple CD Collection  thinking it would be very useful whilst my Mousies are sailing over to me which will take ???? time.

There are some images to colour which suits me perfectly - just one problem - my printer is also on transit so I couldn't print anything out - brain not connected again!!!!

I decided to use them CD before I started packing all away. I coloured the image and used the papers from the CD along with Bazzill papers.

Materials and Tools 

Stamps: The House-Mouse Triple CD Collection

Medium: Memento Tuxedo Black,  Prisma Colours and Polychromos

Papers: Simon Says Stamp White Card Stock,  Bazzill Sour Grape

Crafting and commenting have ground to a halt - I'm still have finishing packing everything and the Haulage peoples will arrive in the morning.

I have my DT card for Everybody Art Challenge ready - hopefully I will post it before the men dragged me away from my computer.

Less is More.................More than one stamp !!!

It's a pure coincidence that I manage to make a card for Less is More this week.

The theme is More Than One Stamp.

I had only just packed away Tim Holtz text stamp away so grabbed old of itt and I found the Hero Arts flower stamp  moving the settee in my craft room - I wondered where that had gone I looked it for ages

I used the Hero Arts inks and also Simon Says Stamp inks and used some shadow stamping with them Sentiment stamp is C.C. Designs.
