Hellgnome's Death Digis Skull flowers ATCs

Hi all

I have a set of Artist Trading Coins to share using the Death Blooms Digi Stamps by Hellgnome's Death Digis.

I used acrylic paint and  a make up sponge to apply the paint to the base of the coins. I then used texture stamps on the background.

I used marker pens to colour the Death Bloom images.

Paperbabe Stamps Design Team December Challenge A Sprinkle Of Glitter

                                                                        Hi all

I am back with a few very sparkly festive angels using the Paper Angels stamp set. I have used mine to make Christmas decorations but these can be adapted for any project. The Stamp set is on an A4 sheet and comes with an instruction guide. The angles are 14 cm tall once made up so they are a good size for altered art projects and cards.

                                   

I made the dresses out of Christmas themed paper and i used the First Edition Christmas Wishes pad as the paper is like thin card.

There are many different wings in the set and i used glitter card to make them with. I fussy cut the feathers and layered up the small wings with the large.

There are so many possibilities with this set so here are a few more ideas. They would make lovely tags that can be kept.

I had a lot of fun making these up and it is one of my favourite sets.

you can see more inspiration on the Paperbabe Stamps blog  and share your creations on our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/paperbabestampsfangroup/?fref=ts.

Thank you for visiting and i would love to see your creations.

Forever Dark November: Shadow Clocksy Arcadia Pin Up

Hi all 

I am back with my November DT make for Forever Dark. Our sponsor this month is Shadow Clocksy and all you have to do to win some digis is enter a dark themed project on our challenge blog http://foreverdark2.blogspot.co.uk/

I used the Arcadia Pin up Digital stamp which you can find here https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/238815564/arcadia-pin-up-digital-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1

I used the First Edition Marker Pens to colour her in with. For the hair i used Oak House Studio's Garnet Acrylic ink and used the markers to create the highlights.

I used the Gorjuss Girl papers for the layers because they are lovely and grungy. I then cut out some cogs using the Xcut cog set and Neon Cardstock. I stamped over the neon and card base using Susan K weckesser A Little Bit Washi stamps.

Gecko Galz Day of The Dead Cards

                                                              Hi all

I am back with a few cards i made using the Gecko Galz Day Of The Dead stamp set. This festival is celebrated between the 31st October and 2nd November and is a tradition that dates back to the Aztecs. During the festival people will leave the favourite foods and possessions of dead loved ones  at their graves and offer prayers in their memory. The festival is mostly recognised by the colourful sugar skulls that are used to decorate homes and shrines. You can find this stamp set here https://www.etsy.com/listing/246249363/day-of-the-dead-digital-stamp-set?ref=shop_home_active_3. They also run a monthly challenge on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/654948344560159/

                    I had so much fun colouring these stamps in with the First Edition Markers. The one thing that stood out with the sugar skulls was that they are alway surrounded by colourful flowers something i wanted to use on the cards.

I used Oak House Studio Inks In A Bottle to dye white paper flowers different colours. I Just grabbed the brightest colours i had and spritzed away.

The sugar skulls are usually made from well sugar or as a cookie which is decorated with colourful icing with the name of the departed written on them. The idea is that these are then made as an offering to attract the soul of the departed back to the living. 

                            I don't find them that creepy compared to other skulls

There are 25 digital stamps in a set and for around £4.50 this is really good value and the stamps are all individual so you can print them to any size you need.

I used a few of the free papers that you can download off the Gecko Galz Pinterest board

I used the First Edition Bella Rose pad on this card and used loads of red and white flowers from last year's Christmas collections.

You can colour these with as many colours as you like or stick with a colour theme.

                                                    Thank you for visiting

Today i am back with an altered porcelain doll which i wanted to look all waspy and ghost like. I hope i don't give you all nightmares.

For the skin i mixed Grey DecoArt patio paint with Artiste Sea Spray Acrylic paint and did three coats over the body

For the face i painted the eyes black and used the First Edition Markers to draw on the face

Susan K Weckesser INC Design Team: Tumbleweed Houses Halloween Card

  Hi all

               I am sharing  my first project as a  member of the Susan K Weckesser INC Design Team. I am so excited to be apart of this team and can't wait to share my projects with you. So today i have a clean and simple Halloween card to share using the Tumbleweed Houses stamps.  We are following the home sweet home theme on our blogs this month and you can see the rest of the team's makes here http://mysweetearth.blogspot.co.uk

I coloured in the Tumbleweed Houses using alcohol markers so that the colours would be nice and vibrant and then i cut them out and adhered them to the centre of the card using 3D foam pads.

These Tumbleweed Houses can be used for many occasions even Christmas.

Here i stamped my sentiment carefully onto the card and stuck a couple of googly eyes over the Os to add a bit of interest to it.

Summer Themed Cards Using First Edition Markers

Hi all 

i have some bright summer cards to share today. I don't know where summer has gone lately i would never imagine wearing PJs in July while making Christmas projects oh wait this is England it could be snowing next week.

Here i am revisiting the Fun Fair range with its bright colours and fun images.

I think the bears are so cute

Another vintage card but this time i have used mostly yellow which doesn't get used much.

I used the First Edition Markers to colour the stamps. They come in sets of matching colours such as pinks and purples.

Trimcraft Christmas 2015 First Edition Gilded Winter: Be Merry Layout and Sketch

Hi all

I am going to start introducing more scrapbook layouts on to the blog as i used to do before life got crazy. I will also be introducing matching sketches to accompany some of my layouts as well.

I used the Me to You Christmas pad from last year for the background and the 8x8 Gilded Winter pad for the layers. The Gilded Winter pads are being relaunched for this year which i am happy about as i loved them last year but they sold out so fast i never got hold of the 12x12 pad.

Here is my first sketch i am sharing which i hope will inspire you to have a go at scrapbooking. I hope to share a new one every month.

I used the First Edition markers to draw around a stencil and colour it in. These are really good markers that give an even and smooth coat of colour.

I cut the gold foil floral shape out of the patterned paper from the 8x8 Gilded Winter pad. I then painted one of the plant markers from the Forget me not range with DecoArt crackle paint and stamped snowflakes onto it.

I used the First Edition Markers purple set to colour in a wooden embellishment which i used for the title.

Thank you for visiting and if you make anything with the sketch please leave a link to your blog or gallery in the comments and i shall visit and leave some love xx
