Pip, Pip, Cherrio!

Greetings! Happy New Year! This is my first post for the New Year and it is for the new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge where the theme this time is "Anything Goes!"  I hope that you will stop over to see all the beautiful creations by the design team and then consider creating a piece of your own to share with us at FSC.  One lucky participant will receive a stamp image selected for them by our generous sponsor Ink Art Designs! Please remember that we are a stamping challenge so your creation needs to use stamping as the focal point.

For my own creation, I began with a piece of water color paper and stamped a variety of images from Artistic Outpost onto the panel. I distressed the enter panel with several Distress Ink colors before mounting the panel onto a mat and a card blank. I recycled piece of ribbon adorns the card. Thanks for stopping by! Best, Yvonne

Winter Wonderland

 

Greetings! Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I am here to share my design with you for the newest challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge where the theme is "Winter!"

 

I hope that you will pop on over to see what the rest of the design team have dreamed up to inspire you and that you in turn will create a project of your own to share with us.

 

My card is quite simple.  When I think of winter, I think of virgin snow. I love looking out over fields of untouched snow. I chose this stamp by Crafty Individuals stamped on water color paper and tinted ever so lightly with water colors. The background was created with a snowflake stamp by Oxford Impressions and sparkled up with Stickles.

 

One lucky participant will be selected to win a stamp image by our generous sponsor, Ink Art Designs. Please remember we are a stamp challenge and stamping most be the focal point of your project. Happy Stamping! Yvonne

Magic is Something You Make

 

Greetings! Another month rolls by and it is time for the new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge where the new theme is "Resist." I hope that you will stop over to FSC to see what the Design Team dreamed up to inspire you!

 

For my own creation, I stamped the focal image with Distress Paint in Picket Fence onto a water color panel. I blended various shades of Distress Inks over the water color panel and then gently wiped the ink off of the main focal image with a damp cloth to reveal the stamped image beneath. I splattered various acrylic paints and inks on the background, doodled around the edges of the focal image and the panel itself and stamped a sentiment on the panel. I grounded the image with washi tape. All stamps are by Dina Wakeley.

 

I hope that you will consider creating a piece to share with us at FSC. Remember we are a stamping challenge and your work most demonstrate that. One lucky participant will win a stamp image by our generous vendor Ink Art Designs. Best Wishes! Yvonne

Are You There?

 

 

Greetings! I have been away from blog land since early July and it sure does feel good to be back again. I have missed making art and participating in my Design Teams. I am happy to kick off my return with this post for the October Challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges where the theme this month is "Book Pages" and we are asked to incorporate a book page into our project.  Having moved over the summer and my art studio still in storage, I was thrilled to be able to quickly access a piece of vintage book page in one of the first boxes I broke open.  The stamped image is by Lost Coast Design and the sentiment is by A Cat's Life Press.  I hope that you will stop over to FSC to see all the gorgeous makes by the Design Team and then consider creating a project of your own to share with us at FSC. Remember, as we are a stamping challenge, stamping most be the focal point of your project. And, as always, one lucky participant will be selected to win a stamp from our generous vendor, Ink Art Designs.  Best wishes! Yvonne

A Strong Woman

Greetings! It is time, once again, for a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge. The theme for July, selected by our leader, Shirley, is "Use Your Inks!" I hope that you will stop by to see all the beautiful samples that the Design Team created to inspire you and that you will consider creating a piece of your own to share with us.  Remember, one lucky participant will be selected to win a stamp image selected for them by our generous sponsor, Ink Art Designs! Just remember that we are a stamping challenge, so the focal point of your creation must include stamping!

For my own design, I began by spraying a water color panel with three different Distress Spray Inks. The focal image was stamped on scrap cardstock and then colored in with more ink using TomBow Markers and a water brush pen.

Thanks, as always, for dropping by. I truly value your support.  Best, Yvonne

Liberty and Freedom

 

Greetings! Its a new month and time for a new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu! The theme for July is "RED, WHITE and BLUE!"

 

I am in the process of moving, so my card is quite simply done. I sprayed the water color base with Festive Berries and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink Sprays. I added clip art by Gecko Galz and a Tim Holtz Paper Doll, along with sentiments by Artistic Outpost. Some twine, ribbon and sequin stars complete my card.

 

We are excited to see what you dream up to share with us! Thanks for stopping by.  Hugs, Yvonne
