H.O.M.E.
I bought a plain white set of letters with the intention of making a cute decoration for my sister’s kitchen and the following photos show you the results. I firstly painted the shapes with some acrylic paint – just mixed brown/white/yellow until I got the colour I hope I remember rightly...
Hooray for Hollywood
The February Challenge set by Michael Strong was chosen because he loves the Oscars and his family have an Oscar Night Party – with awards! For my entry I made a ‘red carpet‘ from some red velvet ribbon laid along a pavement containing some stars from the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I used...
Michael Strong Sat Sketch
I hope I can manage to enter all the challenges throughout the year on the Michael Strong group – it’s only two per month at most so it should be do-able. The main image was made using the large Cloisonné Flower which I stamped randomly over some glossy card stock using a Versamark pad. I...
Michael Strong December Challenge
For the month of December the lovely Michael challenged us to use the template he provided. It is basically a box, there’s a tab to close it so if you wanted to put a small gift in there it could be very useful (thinking chocolates jewellery…..). I’m afraid mine is anything but...
Spooky Colour Challenge
Gosh it’s been a busy time over at the Michael Strong group — yet another challenge. There aren’t usually two in one month but the pink challenge was for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this Spooky Colour Challenge was to remind us to just have fun. So, we had to use just 4 colours:...
I don’t ‘do’ pink but..
…as it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month I took up the challenge to make a pink card. There was also a sketch if we’d rather do that so I decided to do both. We could use one other colour if desired – as you can see, I chose black. On the main pink card base I stamped the small coffee...
Michael Strong Sept Challenge
The September challenge was another sketch – there’s an image of that shown below. I had just received my prize stamps from Michael – they came here from California via my son, David (they’d been delivered to his home but we left before they arrived in May ). The sketch looks like...
Telescoping Samples
I shall be demonstrating this technique at Stamp Club next week so have been preparing a few samples. We’ll be using squares at first as they’re easier to cut out – we don’t have die-cutting machines available – but I’ve cut out sets of circles too for a second attempt once...
A couple more cards
I recently treated myself to the Michael Strong Kimono stamp with its matching die – they are lovely and the die cuts beautifully in my GC. I tried some Iris Folding with decorative papers and really like the way it turned out. The flowers in the corner are cut with a Martha Stewart Punch and there...
Flippin Card
Well, I totally forgot my bother-in-law’s birthday! Daft thing was, I had the idea already in mind, knew which of my new Flippin Stamps sets I was going to use etc. – just forgot to get on with it. So, in one hurried evening I made this for him. He is an avid gardener and makes his own ales...
