Everybody Art Challenge....................A Sketch

It is time for Everybody Art Challenge and this week we have a sketch for you. 

I am over in the UK a the moment and have little computer use, which doesn't help as Blogger seems to be playing silly so and so's at the moment. I uploaded my card at the challenge  then it disappeared  - how I will have to see if it can be re-uploaded.

I have listed as many of the 'ingredients' as possible but difficult to use some. 

After Simon Says new challenge tomorrow I think I shall try and stop uploading cards until I get back home!!!

Simon Says.....................Emboss It !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Thank you for joining us for the  Ice Inspiration 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

EMBOSS IT 

Dry Emboss, Heat Emboss or use Embossing Paste 

We are showcasing Embossing Folders 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 have been packing things away, ready to move back to the UK, I thought I would back all the thinks I can manage without or not use much - I found a back of  Core'dinations Whitewash I had forgotten all about. I thought it would be good to use the embossing folders as they would show a little definition which I sanded using my  Basic Grey Precious File set.

I used Spellbinders Curved Borders and the Cuttlebug folders Seeing Spots, Spots & Dots & Swiss Dots.

LIM.......................Hearts

I've manaage to finish my other card for Less is More- it took ages for the embossing paste dried - I think because the weather is so rainy and damp.

I used Wendy Vechhi White Embossing paste over the stencil, once it had dried I used the daubers to colour over the paste and then used Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter glittered it with a pencil - I think it shows the paste and the glittering. 

The sentiment is Avery Elle All Occasions Tag set

          

Everybody Art Challenge................Snow !!!

The sweet image is called 'Taste of Winter' from Mo Manning - I've coloured her with Copics and given here a fluffy had and cuffs with Fun Flock. I've used Frantage round the  edges - I really can't make my mind about this stuff - perhaps I need more practice!!!

I've kept the design pretty simple - I do think a lot of Mo's images speak for themselves - for this one I just added some sheer ribbon and attached a snowflake and pearl.

This image is similar to the Hopper in the wooden bach -  (called Bunny Bath) - I've always used that one before so it was time to christen this one.  I created my own background with with a Obsession Impression Cling Stamp Houndstooth stamp with  Bazzillcardstock in  Icy Mint.
In case you are wondering what the hell are those circles on the left hand side I thought I should explain.
I cut about 30 circles with of various sizes with Spellbinders Classic Circles - I used the Icy Mint and coloured vellum - the idea being bubbles - I think I can safely say it'a a failure - if I had more time I would have replaced them with some/anything else!!!
