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 Spy With My Little Eye ... Guest Designer

So lovely to be invited by Ellie from Simply Ellibelle's blog as guest designer for challenge 14 of " I spy with my little eye.... something with wings " selected by Pauline.  A fabulous theme with so many possibilities ... I chose to ink up this wonderful large scale owl with draft lines and geometric styling and created a spotlight die-cutting technique. Owl stamped and heat embossed with clear EP then die cut part of the image into a circle.  To make the background, two different distress inks (one green, one blue) were smooched onto the remaining panel.  I did some light stencilling in areas, blue ink for the hex matrix pattern, white ink for the circles with iridescent mica pigment powder so they catch the light.  Finally some over stamping in smoke blue ink (which looks more light grey) for the doodle patterns and additional words (spread your wings, soar, fly).  Die cut circle has another layer underneath so it's slightly raised and left uncoloured.  Die cut &a

Chatty Bar

The Chatty Bar stamp set designed by Zinski Art was perfect for a fun drink themed card I needed.  Look at their expressive faces!  Images combined with a geometric embossed background and witty sentiment. Background created by applying blue/green ink to a geometric stencil, spritzed with water, placed onto ochre coloured cardstock and embossed through my die-cutting machine to create the embossed pattern with ink transferred like a faux letterpress effect.  Added some pieces of black/gold geo-patterned papers for interest and to ground the images.  Stamped and clear heat embossed images coloured with a mix of watercolour paints, alcohol markers and coloured pencils before fussy cutting and adhering.  Sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a scrap of patterned paper cut into strips.

Let it Snow

Crafting has been a bit hit and miss for me of late as family life has just got in the way but at last a Christmas card made for two challenges, a late entry for  September's CAS Mix Up  and a new colour challenge that has caught my interest called  Color Hues . I masked off a panel on the front of my card base and blended a mix of blue inks to create an ombre effect from turquoise to navy with a few splatters of water to add interest and lift some of the ink.  I've not embossed with dies very much so had to hunt where I had written down the sandwich for my Big Shot!  I'd forgotten how little pressure was needed to get a lovely embossed impression.  I chose a few snowflake dies and positioned them partly on/off my inked panel to widen the overall design then stamped the gorgeous sentiment at the bottom (I do love this flowing font) and a few falling little snowflakes all in navy blue. Some finishing touches just to edge the inked panel with a navy glitter gel pen and some a
