    Use spots or stripes

    November 4, 2019

    Hi friends Its November already and cold and windy here in Scotland. So more reasons to stay in and create! Ha. As if I need an excuse. This month at The Flower Challenge we are incorporating spots or stripes into our designs. I added some striped paper with the beautiful sweet peas by Altenew, gold heat embossed and water coloured with Mijello Mission gold paints. We are sponsored this month and there is a prize! by Top Flight Stamps whose store sells a variety of stamps by companies such as Hero Arts and Crafters Companion as well as some smaller companies. Looking forward to seeing what you create!

    The Flower Challenge May 2019 – Reminder

    May 15, 2019

    Hello everyone It’s reminder time already at The Flower Challenge, and dont forget you can win a stamp set from Altenew, all details are over at The Flower Challenge. My background combines white heat embossing over distress oxide ink blending and the bleaching technique. To ‘bleach’ I used a paintbrush to add water to areas of the image and after a few seconds I dabbed the water off with a dry cloth. Because distress oxide inks are water reactive you reactivate the colour and dab it away. I love this effect. The heat embossed stamps are from Altenew Golden Garden. I stamped some florals from Altenew Golden Garden and fussy…

    Heat or Dry Embossing | The Flower Challenge May 2019

    May 4, 2019

    Hi friends, For the May 2019 Flower Challenge we have the challenge of Heat or Dry Embossing on your cards. If you join in you also have the chance of winning a stamp set from Altenew. For my card I used the Altenew leafy frame, die cut and layered a number of times from white cardstock for dimension. I added this to an ink blended background using Victorian velvet and worn lipstick distress inks. For the central panel I gold heat embossed the floral from Altenew Golden Garden and coloured it with Spectrum Noir Aquatint markers. The sentiment is from Altenew Love Labels. I hope you will also check out…

    I am here for you | The Flower Challenge reminder #29

    February 15, 2019

    Hey everyone Hope your having a good February.  It’s reminder time already at The Flower Challenge. Here is my entry using a brand new die to me from Altenew: Leafy Frame and one of my newer floral stamp sets by neat and tangled. I ink smooshed my stacked frame with distress ink – Victorian velvet and spun sugar. I used the same colours on my watercolour background. The sentiment from neat and tangled is stamped in archival black ink.  I hope you will check out the inspiration from the rest of the design team and join in with us this month.
