Serindipity cards

These are cards I made for a challenge, well 2 challenges really one was the star challenge and the other serendipity, so have to admit I cheated and combined the two, the other card is what I made with bits left over from the first one and most likely have enough for yet another card.

I had forgot how good using your scraps could look it is so long since I had done this

Card for my Nephew

Just made this for my Nephew, it is his birthday today. I always struggle for men cards unless it is my Hubby can make him a cheeky one as he doesn't mind.
The stamp is from I brakeforstamps, love her images of the cowboys and the Indians, sounds like a movie.
Can't get on as often as I would like as it is school hol's I seem as if I am always minding the Grandkids, love them to bits but too tired for crafting when they have gone. Well that is my excuse and am sticking to it

Little Indian girl

I had a tag published in Rubber Stamp Madness and these plus some others were a gift from Della at I Brake for stamps. I was so chuffed to get published as never done anything like this before.

Anyhow made this today from 2 of the stamps hope you like it

a challenge card

This was a challenge layout done for OSA group, must admit it took me a while to do. Well it is my second atempt, first one was rubbish. Any how I just stuck to blue and white to make it a bit easier, hope some of you like it

Monkey business

Got this stamp off a friend and have just made this. Right up my street. Had to post it, mind I could of wrote something quite different on

Printed background

Just got this CD and must admit I love it, it is backgrounds but a lot more besides, so when I can't get the effect I want I can print it. The stamp is a sugar nellie and I have coloured it with my Promarkers, still getting used to them I have always used felt tips. Love the way they blend together

Sort of recycling again

Wish I could spell, anyway made this card out of something my daughter was putting in the bin. The hand made paper and you know me hate to waste, The centre image is mounted on silver mirrow board but it never show up on a scan does it. The stamp was a gift from a dear friend. I think the company is artistic outpost, there are some nice bird stamps on the plate too

Card I made for a friend

I made this for a friends birthday, can upload it now as she has got it, her favourite colour is blue, so this is what I come up with. I am pleased to say she liked it, can't remember where I got the Betty boop stamps. The cake is Magnolia and the background stam is I brakeforstamps, the words are stamping up I think

Blue and white

Love these colours together, the scan is not brill, but never mind. The stamps used are Judikins and the background is shaving foam which I have never tried before and must admit I like the effect.

Delicate card

The scan does not show this card great as it is very shimmery, I made it at a friends shop when I was on holiday at another friends and it was easy to make but just looks lovely I think anyway. We stamped in versamark then brushed shimmer dust over. then made the butterfly seperate and attached it to the ribbon.

Junes ATC swap

This swap was called in my garden, so I thought I would do one of the fairy's that reside in my garden, isn't she lovely

MM card

A bit different colours for me, the flower is very glitzy, I have just got this stamp, well not just got, first time I have used it

My finished deco

Not a brill photo, but here is my finished deco, a swap I organise on Katy's Corner, I love doing this swap, as you get fab work off different people each time and they are lovely to keep

Dragon card

Well I finally got round to finishing this card, been going to do it all week. I hope you like it, the image is from Elusive images and the background is encostic art. Hope I have spelt that right as there is no spell checker on here and I am the worlds worst speller

Tatty head tag

Have done this very quick tonight as just wanted to see what it looked like, a friend of mine designed this stamp and I think she is so clever. Wish I could draw. Anyhow well done Jo and to Caz for making it into rubber

Another shimmer baground

This is the other one I did, I have uploaded another one done with this stamp but think this one turned out a bit better. Anyhow hope you like it

Background

These are done with some shimmer paints I bought (boobed as were not what I thought) but spread some on a card and spritz it with water then put the other one over the top and swizzled it about and this is what I got. Don't think it turnrd out too bad

The birds, well the fist one is Tim Holtz and the other is Elusive images

Indian Chief

Well what do you know another Indian, I do feel this need a little something extra, am going to think on this and see if I can come up with something. Then i think i better play with some different stamps for a while
