CCC26 & The Artistic Stamper ' SUGAR AND SPICE'

'Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice' was primarily made for Lindas Compendium of Curiosities (Studio L3) - Rusted Grunge and then saw Jennie (The Artistic Stamper) was doing Wings, so wow two for the price of one...........

I used an old Postcard for this tag and stamped a Lace Background and then dragged Betsy kicking and screaming onto it, she was not happy having rusty wings.......So we did a deal and I told her she could bring her dog along, anything to shut her up.......

Now for the truth.........yep have to own up......not got the required colour for the rust, only black and pale blue. So had to improvise and no I didn't use Gravy Granules, although tempted......lol

For all the instructions on how to do it correctly go to Page 45 of the Compendium of Curiosities, then upload yours so we can all see. There are some fab entries again this time and also Lindas' wonderful tag.

Once I have uploaded to the challenge sites I must get dressed as overslept this morning and still in PJs, but will be back later in the day to check out all your wonderful creations. Thank you again for all your wonderful support and kindness and have a happy day whatever you are doing. Annette x

A Garden of Colours for the Unrulys

Hi, my Garden of Colours is for the Unruly Paper Arts Challenge of Inky Backgrounds............

The background was achieved by blowing the Alcohol Inks through a straw which is huge fun to do as you never know how its going to turn out.

The card was then run through my old trusted Cuttlebug with the Tim Holtz large Cabinet die cut then edged with Black Paint Dabber.

Other products used:  Stamp by Kelly Panacci, Butterfly Girl in a Jar by Pringle Hill Studio, Viva Transparent Crackling.   Plastic netting from a bag of tangerines, lace and flower from stash.

Yesterday we went to Sywell Airport, where the hotel etc is totally  Art Nouveau, utter bliss.  Afterwards I went into the Arts and Crafts Exhibition (left hubby in the hotel) held  in one of their very large hangars, lots of demonstrations and beautiful things to buy.  What suprised me, there wasn't a stamping company in there.  Did I buy anything...................of course I did.............lol

Thank you for popping in, will see you all soon.  Take care, hugs Annette x
