Funky Fossil - Rock Chick

By
Dance like no one's watching ... but wait, there is ... can you spot a face spying on the dancing chick?


I created my own background with inks and a stencil.  I started by brushing shaded lilac distress oxide on a panel of white card stock followed by hickory smoke DO through a dotty circle stencil, simple but so effective.  There are some subtle water flicks there too.  The two main images were stamped, coloured with polychromo pencils and fussy cut before shaping slightly and adhering with a mixture of 1mm foam pads and wet glue.  I added some shadow underneath with a metallic silver pencil.


I wanted to add some eyes watching the dancing chick and toyed with the idea of cutting into the door so it would open revealing someone watching from inside.  In the end I opted for something a lot simpler, stamping the face of another rock chick from the set and die cutting into a circle which fitted nicely into the open space of one of the dotty circles.  Mustard coloured matt layer and sentiment from the stamp set to finish.

I've used - 6x6" white card base

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
