One Powerful Hour - Fantasy

I made my ATC using an Oasis goddess stamp - think she is called Persia, but not sure, I used Versamark ink and chalks, edged the ATC with green Chalk eyes, from the Peacock Queue, and finally added a red teardrop faux ruby on her forehead and coloured her headdress with gold ink. Why not visit One Powerful House and join in with this great challenge.

Theme Thursday - Hats or Crowns

I used part of a Stamps Happen stamp for my ATC, coloured with chalks and Marvy Le Plume pens and a bit of glitter.. Pop over to Theme Thursday to see all the gorgeous hat or crown creations.

TMTA - Cars

The theme over at Think Monday Think ATC is
Cars, so I used a cigarette card of a car, a sign from some gorgeous blog candy I won a while ago from my SBS Sister, Theresa, and a small stamped globe of the world.

SBS 24 Challenge - Birthday Card..

I made this pleated card for a friend's birthday - also made the box for it to sit in. The buitterflies are peel-offs stuck onto acetate and coloured with peel off pens, stamp is Hero Arts and I also used my Fiskars border punch.. Apart from the name tag which I stuck on the card, it could be used as a general card for any lady who likes a bit of lace.

One Powerful Hour - Black Background

I made this ATC for a private swap group I belong to, and thought it would be perfect for this challenge, since it took minutes to make. I stamped a white ATC background card with red accents, added the Googled image, coloured her hat with red felt tip and red glitter glue, added a red and white embellishment to the bottom of the ATC, and bingo - finished ..One Powerful Hour is the place to go to check out all the black backgrounds, some awesome pieces of art !!

TMTA - alcohol technique

TMTA has a lovely challenge this week, there is a link over on their blog for you to learn how to do it. It involves alcohol ink on clear acetate. I used Stream, Lettuce and Wild Plum inks, plus a few faux jewels and flowers for embellishment.

Theme Thursday - Glamour Girls

Theme Thursday this week has Glamour Girls as the challenge theme. Here is my card. The image was printed on acetate and backed with blue holographic card.

TMTA - Eyes

This challenge is used quite often, and most people use beautiful women, or pretty little girls as their images. Since I stamp most of my challenges, I thought of a totally different take on this theme - hope you like it. The Rubber Stampede pear was inked with Verdigris and Pheasant Gold and edged with Burnt Copper from a ColorBox set, and the eyes were in my stash. Pop over to Think Monday Think ATC and check out all the gorgeous EYES.

Saturday's Workout - Fossil Stone technique

Fabulous challenge today at SaWo pop over to see the gorgeous creations using this fabulous, easy technique, there is also a link on how to do the Fossil Stone backgrounds on their blog. I made two ATC's using Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks, and just a few embellishments. On the Chinese one, I used Peeled Paint and a touch of navy blue and just two stamped images because I loved the background. Enlarge them to see the detail.

TGIF - Zettiology

TGIF - Zettiology

Pop over to Thank God it's Friday this week, if you want to find out about Zettiology. I love the word, never heard of it before mind, so I went to have a look see - and I loved it, since I don't have any of the stamps for this project, I have made my own ATC in similar style - I used part of a Hampton Arts stamp, and Clarity stamps.

I've been having a lovely time recently, painting. I have mixed gouache, H2o's and Marvy and Whispers pens, so lots of different painting and colouring mediums - I stamped the images first with Black Stazon and then set to with my colours - hope you like them!! All I have to do now, is add a greeting here and there, and voila !!
