Mellow Yellow

Hi all hope you are well,

What did i say the other day, kids are on

school hols and it bucketing it down

here today. After all that gorgeous weather 

we had last week as well, I'm back in my 

woolly jumpers again.

Anyway my card will brighten up the day

even if we don't see the sun.

It's for this weeks

Papertake Weekly Challenge.

The theme is Anything goes with 

the option on using a Monotone colour 

scheme.

As always this challenge is sponsored by the 

wonderful 

Lili of the Valley.

 With all the sunshine last week i 

decided to create my own bit of sun

and went for a yellow theme.

I wanted to play with my steampunk stamps

and stuck some angel wings onto a 

pretty Kanban dress stamp.

The wings also (loosely) act like the hands on a clock.

The clock die is Tim Holtz.

Flowers Wild Orchid and market finds.

The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.

I used promarkers to colour the image in.

The paper is from Papermania's yellow

capsule collection.

Short and sweet for my today i have
lots of projects on the go that need
my attention.( Any excuse).Lol.
Thanks for stopping by and please check
 out the wonderful creations from 
my other papertake teamies they are all
fabulous.


Take care

Steampunk Dress

Hi all hope you are well.

The Kiddies are back at school so i can get 

back to normal, i never seem to have as much time for 

crafting when they are at home.

Before i get onto this weeks Papertake card 

i wanted to say a big Thanks to the team over 

at Simon says stamp challenge 

I won last weeks challenge

WooHooo!

a massive $50 voucher to spend in their

store.

It took me all of five mins to spend it

and more (don't tell hubby). 

Can't wait for it all to arrive and have a play.

Right this week over at Papertake 

it's an 

Anything goes week

with the option of adding bling and sparkle.

Which is sponsored by the 

fab girls over at Lili of the Valley.

I have tried something a bit different this

week. I love the new stamps that Kanban 

have done in the new Steam punk range.

I saw them on C&C, ummd and ahhd

then managed to get the Vivien set off

ebay. The dresses are just fabulous.

I have also tried another new technique

colouring onto kraft card, that's a lot 

harder than you think.
I have only tried with my Polychromos pencils 
at the moment, it did 

look good, i then sprayed the dress with 

Crafters companions Spray and sparkle 

glitter and it dulled the colours down a lot.

I'll not do that again.

The papers are from Raspberry Road

Renaissance set. I got the clock and old 

advert images off the internet which i distressed

with old paper and vintage photo distress inks.

I have added Platinum glitter glue for a bit

more sparkle.

That's all for now  hope to see you at 

Papertake

Thanks for looking 

take care
