Hello.  Do you remember I was set a challenge....

Well this is it...

This is my latest purchase a Stamping Up stamp it is called Moroccan Nights.  I have used the longer stamp repeated several times to fill the page.  I used Momento Ink Pads Paris Dusk and Teal Zeal alternatively. The Lanterns  were stamped separately and cut out and coloured, Same colours except for the yellow to look as if they are lit.  I placed some 'jewels' on in the same colours as the stamped rows, put the lanterns on a pad to raise them up and there is the finished card.

I did not have much time left after a busy week, perhaps it should have some sort of a salutation on it, I cannot think of one for the moment.

Lets hope the challenger is pleased with it......

the missing cards

Hello again,  I have prepared the following once before and when near publishing pressed the wrong key and lost it all...so here goes.
Lately I have been making cards . I won't get too ambitious this time.

This is a Crafty Individuals stamp.  I cut out a few plain circles and some of the stamp clocks

and layered them all together.

This is a brushos sprinkled background on water colour card then red Stamping Up card and a Penny Black poppy die cut twice once with gold and then with red to create a shadow effect that you can see with the stems.  It is meant to be off center. 

This one again is Stamping Up card 2 circles on a white background with a Lavinia stamps using a black Momento ink pad.

I used a woodware clear stamp used twice.  The lighter circles  very pale blue and the others a medium blue.  They were painted with  Creative Expressions Iridescent shimmering  water colour paints (blue and green)  Stamped with a Momento Ink pad.

All of the card are 6x6 inches .  I will not rest them again on this coloured card to take the pictures with.

Till the next time.....

Here are three more cards to show you.

I was obviously having an Orange day, they were photographed on brown wrapping paper, a slight improvement on the puce!

The circles are evident in the next two.  Lavinia fairy stamps, a white middle  with a brusho circle and a smaller orange circle.  Stamping Up card orange and the brusho on water colour card.  6x6 white card.

An orange circle with water colour card center with a light shade of brushos a new stamp of mine from Chocolate Baroque.  the rose stamped in Red Momento is from the Steampunk Butterfly set.

Now for a square... with three feathers die cut out of watercolour card which has Yes you've guessed it's been through my brusho factory... and the side strip is from the same water colour card.

You can just make out the three small birds on the feather, the ide is a set of four by Xcut. Oh! and the water colour card was not so easy to die cut, perseverence was needed.

Bye till next time.

I have been set a challenge.......

Hello, the images did not come out well, that is because I took the photos in the bright sun.  I have taken them again and hopefully they are better to see now.

Well that's better except the second one down has a yellow background, the yellow was a brusho painted on the front after putting on the wax.

It was really annoying me that fact that I had published them and they were not right. So I hope you like them

Well you didn't think I only made two papers in the workshop, her are some more....

These have not come out so well and I have not learnt how to enhance them.  As you can see (or not) I like turquoise and all blues.  Will have to more on to another colour.

I shall be making more cards this Thursday so will  have something to post later.

my new pictures from the workshop

What a lovely day it has been.

This is my second lesson from the lovely Linda.  We were learning techniques at the workshop using wax pastels, water-colour inks, brushos, and acrylic paints.  It is fine at the time to try out mixing all the different paints inks etc: ,harder to remember what I actually did.

Just like doing this blog really.

and here is another

The workshop was called decorative papers part one, there will be more to add to this.

I do not think I have completed this in the way I was shown at least I have made another post.

Jay.

workshop at Jenny's

It's me again my first homework assignment.

Today I am going to a workshop at Framincrafty at St Anne's Chapel  to make decorative papers, Your guess is as good as mine, if they turn out to be reasonable you might see them.

Just one I made earlier. nor decorative papers involved.

A Lesson Learned with Linda

Hello Everyone,

My friend Linda is sitting beside me helping me with my weak attempts at blogging.

I am not sure how consistent I am going to be at this it is all a mystery to me and I hope I remember and get better at this.  Honestly you would think I am 90 years old but I am not.

To test out adding photos, Linda has set me small tasks.

I made this card a while ago so I'm afraid it is just for looking at........
