COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES - WEEK 11

Hi,

Its another exciting adventure for me as this week the fab Linda of Studio L3 has chosen Page 36 of C of C which is Blended Batik.... sponsored by Eclectic Paperie. I for one had never heard of this technique before, so woo woo I thought, brilliant, lets give it a go. Obviously we are not allowed to disclose the techniques, BUT, I will tell you a domestic appliance I had not picked up in over 6 months had to be used and my husband nearly passed out in shock when he saw me using it..............lol

My Huge Flower (it wasn't mean't to be that big) was made from cardstock and fabric Rose Petals which I inked and stamped, and the Bronze Plate which the bird is perched on is a Bronze Metal Garden Tag which has been embossed and inked with one of Tim Holtz folders.

If you get the chance please visit Linda at Studio L3 and see some brilliant examples of this technique from some great crafters.

I am also entering this tag for Hels Sunday Stampers which by chance is Flowers!!!!

Thank you for popping in and for your wonderful support. I hope you like my tag as it was great fun making it. Annette x

' BE INSPIRED '

Hi

Made this tag to go with the CD Birthday Card for husbands birthday, as you probably can guess he plays the piano..................

The Hand was a free download from Mirkwood Designs (thank you); Stamps by TJ Designs and Tim Holtz mask and distress inks, the backing paper was from old stash.

Challenges entered: Sunday Stampers and Drunken Stampers

It amused me no end to create this and I hope it amuses you as well.

Thank you for popping in and all your wonderful support. Off now to make my poor husband something sloppy........ Mince........ as he has just had a horrible down the throat x ray today so he should be able to swallow this without hurting his throat..............aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh. Annette x

CHALLENGE CARD

Hi,

Hope you are all OK.... I had the most wonderful time watching last nights Proms on the TV, it was 'Sondheim's 80th Birthday Celebration', I was clapping away on the sofa with a big grin on my face, it was inspiring. My favourite pieces were 'Sweeney Todd' and 'Into the Woods'.

Now I expect you wonder why am telling you all this........well.... it inspired me to make this card. The red etc was the blood from Sweeney Todd and the trees from Into the Woods.......

I used 3 stamps to make the card, (two being old ones and one new one) distress inks, and glossy accents. Luckily this fits into 3 challenges, how cool is that.........lol

Gingersnap Creations Color Challenge of Yellow-Orange-Red

The Sunday Stampers Week 114, Something Old, Something New. and

The Artistic Stamper's New Challenge Blog which is also Something Old, Something New.

Hope you like it as I was so happy making it after that night at the Proms, albeit from the sofa.....

Have a Happy Day, Annette x

CHRISTMAS DOMINO BOOK

Hi

Have been trying to submit something for Sunday Stampers for ages hosted by Hels Sheridan who creates the most fabulous projects. The theme has to include 'Love or Life'.

Hope you like my Christmas Domino Book, they are so very tiny and I think I will have to change the Candy Cane Charm as it looks enormous in comparison to the size of the book...lol I used Alcohol and Distress inks, glitter and Stickles plus that brilliant Studio Matt medium. The stamps were Paper Artsy and Lavinia Stamps.

I think this will also suit the challenge at Tuesday Taggers.

Thank you for popping by and supporting me in my efforts. Enjoy the day, Annette x
