Ellie & Squeak Stamp

Hi! I recently won a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp, and I just had a go with it for the first time tonight:

I've tried to keep it fairly simple, and just added a bit of shine with Stickles and Liquid pearls.

I'm entering it into the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiments: "Baby"

Moving Along with the Times: "Baby Baby"

Quirky Crafts: "Quirky White"

Cutie Pie: "Cute as a Button"

Feeling Sketchy:

Uh Oh, New Obsession Sets In...

Oh my goodness, I LOVE Brushos! So I'm still making a mess and trying to work out how to use them, but I'm having a lot of fun and might have to go get some more colours...

I made this card with watercolour paper, clear embossing the stamped image first, and letting loose with the Brushos and hoping for the best. I used a snippet of leftover card for the butterfly, once I'd trimmed the image down. I decided not to add gems or glitter - I just love how the colours have blended, so I'd like to leave it as it is.

I'm entering this in the challenges listed below. A couple are CAS, so I hope this is CAS enough... there is some white space on the card, and the image is white...

Allsorts: "Add a Butterfly"

CAS-ual Fridays: "Embossing"

Seize The Birthday: "Embossing"

Less is More: "Snippets"

The Shabby Tea Room: "Summer Picnic"

Brushos... and a whole lot of mess!

Hi! Here's my first card made using Brushos! I have lots of discarded bits of card and lots of mess from failed attempts, but I really like how this one turned out! Next time I'm going to clear emboss the image, as this time I stamped in dark grey and planned to have a subtle background but the paints just took over and went really rich and vibrant. I had too go over the stamp with my white Uni Posca pen, as you could hardly see the image! But anyway, here's my first Brushos card:

I've included a couple of close-ups to try to show the rich, vibrant colours - I should have waited until tomorrow to take photos in daylight! Anyway, if you haven't tried Brushos, they are extremely messy, but they are beautiful! I think I just need a fair bit of practice...

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Shopping Our Stash: "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"

Simon Says Stamp: "No Ordinary paper" (watercolour paper)

Dragonfly Dreams: "Midsummer Delights"

Deep Ocean Challenge: "Summer Fun"
