Fantasy Stampers - Halloween Fun!

Hi My Crafty Blogs Friends

The weekend is here and the start of the half term holiday for me as well. I have a busy day today we are dropping off the rabbits at boarding. Then we are having breakfast at Ikea before we pick up bits our daughter needs to finish some units. After that my husband will drop me at a craft day.  Then he will be heading off to help at our daughter and her fiance's house. But he needs to be back in the evening as we are going to see Shappie Korsandi at our local theatre ( the one that is 20 minutes walk away). It all should be lots of fun.

The new challenge starts toady on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog the theme is Halloween Fun. As you might know I am not really comfortable with Halloween makes so I was allowed to just use Halloween colours.

The background was created with Pixie Powders and some Distress ink when I wanted a stronger colour. 

The stamp is callled Owl Tree by LC Design. I did some masking and created the moon in the the background. Then I stamped in black and heat embossed with a black sparkly powder. The little wooden owl was darkened with some Distress ink. 

This is a Visible Image stamp. It was stamped in black and heat embossed like the Owl Tree. I used Distress Ink over the top and cut it out by hand. 

I was rather pleased with how this turned out. I am not sure who I will be sending it too. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Good Times - Butterfly

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Sunday, extra happy because we have another day off to look forward to. I am still working on the wedding invitations and fitting in a few other projects as well.

I made this card just for fun so I could use a set of Visible Image stamps that I won in their recent weekend celebrations.

I started by cutting the mats so I knew what size I had to work with for the top mat. I used the free stamp from Crafty Stampers magazine to stamp the edge of the paper with red and black distress ink. I did all the stamping and then I put some clear embossing powder over the design and heat embossed it. 

I stamped the Inkcognito butterfly with CS Perfect Medium and heat embossed it with gold powder. I then used Old Paper Distress ink to ink over the page it did mix with some red distress ink that was left on my craft mat. I stamped the large butterfly separately with Black Soot Distress ink and heat embossed it with clear powder. I coloured the butterfly with Promarkers and then it was cut out. I attached the butterfly just by the body so that the wings could be folded up. 

I received the No Regrets set of stamps as my prize. I stamped one of the stamps at the top and one at the bottom.

I think this would make a good birthday card. I do love the butterfly stamps.

We are hoping to go to Exbury Gardens tomorrow. The Spring flowers should be beautiful. I hope the weather is OK. Have you got any plans for the extra day?

Happy Crafting
