Gingersnaps Gets Into Gear......

Hi,  still following the Steampunk theme at Gingersnaps we are getting our Cogs and Watches  into Gear......at this point I have to say I don't possess any of these metal items, so did the best with what I've got.

First is the Thinking Man..........thats odd you say.........lol,   but when you ask someone a question and parts of their face twitch a bit while they are thinking of an answer;  we always used to say I can see the wheels turning..............Ok so its a bit deep, but I am that kind of woman, weird...............

TeePee Cards are all over Blogland at the moment and this is mine using  the Gingersnaps theme.

Products Used:
Stamps by BLine
Creative Expressions Embossing Folder
Inks: Big and Juicy, Stazon and Distress Inks

Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful creations and don't forget to pop over to Gingersnaps and see what the rest of the DT created for your inspiration.

Have a great day and will be over to visit you all later on as have loads of cooking and baking to do today.  Take care and thank you for popping in, hugs Annette x

Creative Expressions Calling Card Challenge

Hi, Creative Expressions are seeking a DT.  The well known company is based at Kettering, which is not far from me in Wellingborough.  The remit is that you produce a  Calling Card which must have some rubberstamping on it and an ATC in the project.  The rest of the requirements you can read if you follow this link http://www.creative-expressions.uk.com/jobs/designteam.php  

I am submitting this ATC as would love this to be my Calling Card because it shows my love of colour and design.  The background is silver cardstock which has been dry embossed, then sandpapered, plus smeared with black paint dabber. All colourings of the Stamps have been done with Whisper pens, then cut out and layered ontop of the main image and added Black Stickles. Unfortunately I cannot remember who made the main stamped image as all details were thrown away quite some time ago so if anyone knows I would be grateful, then I can amend these details........other stamps used are by Technique Tuesday and TJ Designs.

So what would your Calling Card look like, would it reflect your personality?  Sounds huge fun doesn't it.  So why not follow the link to Creative Expressions and have a go.

Will be back later for Paint Party Friday.  Hope your day is going well and thank you for your huge support and wish me luck please as would love to be a part of the DT.  Hugs Annette x
