Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #520. Diecuts and/or Stencils

 

This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #520 at Addicted to Stamps and More

This card started with a white card blank, matted with brown.

I added the die cut, cut in orange and placed on some designer paper.

Finally  added some gems.

Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

  

Happy Crafting!

I haven't got a photo of my desk today as it is nearly 8pm and too dark to take a decent photo. 

In any case there is nothing new on it!

I am now up to ICADS number 23 - I have yet to do today 

If you want to see more of these they are blogged here

This is my Tiny pieces of Art make.

 This month the theme is steampunk and I have done Week 3.

I decoupaged a Gecko Galz image with a layer of clear acrylic on the window.

That is all I have for you this week...hopefully next week I will be able to share more - and that my room is tidier!

Happy crafting - hope to get around you all this week. 

Happy WOYWW!

ICAD 2026 part 3

This is this year - the first month's themes and the themes for the whole 9 weeks.

I have done the next few days, following the prompts and sometimes the theme. 

This takes me up to yesterday.

Day 17 - crossroad

I used Robert Frost's poem with some images from Conjurer of Dreams - Why the cow? You may well ask!! Put together in Canva.

Day 18 - elephant

This is just a collage of scraps book paper, photographs I took those top two images in Ahmedabad when I was living in India some years ago.

The letter and the other image come from The Antiquarian Bibliophilia sticker book.

Day 19 - liminal space

An image from the internet with book paper and a quote from the book I am reading.

Day 20 - strata or stripes

Another image from the internet with stripes of washi (Tim Holtz).

Day 21 - moon

I used Emily Dickinson's poem The Moon with stars (Art by Marlene stamps) and images from The Antiquarian Bibliophilia sticker book.

Day 22 - pomegranate

Using Word putting together the poem and the image from the internet. I finally added the flowers.

Day 23- shibori

This is fabric, an image of shibori cut in pieces and hole reinforcements.

Tiny Pieces of Art in June

At the beginning of the year I started a year long challenge courtesy of Linda Pearson on Facebook

I decided to use index cards as I had a little booklet of these in my stash. 

I like this format as I have been doing the Index Card a Day Challenge during June and July for some years now.

This is how far I have got so far:

This month's prompts are as follows:

So far I have made

Week 1

This used images from Stamperia, ink drips and splatter and a variety of metal bits.

Week 2

This used an old image from Gecko Galz, rub-ons from 49&Market, book paper, sewing thread and a metal key.

Week 3

Another image from Gecko Galz, decoupaged and layered with some clear acrylic in between.

This image is the freebie from the current

Steampunk Challenge

at Gecko Galz and I will link this image there.

I will add Week 4 at the end of the week...

Happy Crafting!

Here is my workdesk:

Rather a dumping ground - lots of stuff from op shops and Temu!

I am now up to ICADS number 16. 

If you want to see more of these they are blogged here

This is my Tiny pieces of Art make.

 This month the theme is steampunk and I have done Week 2 - Steampunk Vintage Ladies.

I used a Gecko Galz image with rub-ons, book paper, sewing thread and a metal key.

Because we have been away the last three weekends I haven't done a lot of crafting. On the way back from Paynesville this weekend however, we called in at the Gippsland art gallery in Sale. There was a new exhibition Gippsland Gothic by Frank Mesaric. I have added a couple of photos:

And there is a permanent exhibition of Annemieke Mein's work (which is amazing!)

Happy crafting - hope to get around you all this week. 

Happy WOYWW!
