Happy Little Stampers September ATC Challenge

The theme is 'Ocean/Sea' when creating either Artist Trading Cards or Artist Trading Coins.

 Do pop over to the Happy Little Stampers blog to see the inspiration from my team-mates.

This picture shows my ATCs.

Some while ago I made the following two ATCoins using Leigh S B's MerWitch - and these were my inspiration!

Today I have used the positive and negative of a seahorse die cut (cut from deckle card) with details formed with an alcohol ink background. I added scraps of card and peacock feathers distress ink.

I then added Stickles and embellishments. 

Hope you will join the challenge!

Addicted to Stamps and More - Make your Mark #357

Just checked this scheduled post only to find it has not posted!

Sorry to be late!

Here's my Make Your Mark card...for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More
This challenge requires a card using markers or colouring pencils or the like - making your mark...

Whilst staying in Australia for the last couple of months, my daughter could find many trifold photo cards with different shapes.

Back in the UK so far I have only found round and square apertures.
This card has a circular aperture behind which I placed a piece of alcohol ink background overstamped with archival ink and a floral stamp. I used a matching stamp to to stamp with black Versafine over the background and below the circle. I transferred some of the alcohol into the lower image, adding extra colour with Copic markers.

 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!

  This month the theme is 'Krafty Christmas'

Our sponsor this month is Pattie's Creations

Patterned Paper Challenge September 2019

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of
 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper

This is my third kinetic card based on Mrs A's current Butterfly Challenge , K for a Kinetic card. She gives instructions on how to make one here and although there are now two versions I stuck to number 1. 

The wheel is as follows but I have just used the fold, lime green in the paper and butterflies.

The base paper 

and paper behind the butterfly and tag were from paper pads from The Works.

I used a large Tonic butterfly die.

The stamp on the tag is from Little Claire.

I will link this to the Butterfly Challenge #127 

Hope you will join the Patterned Paper Challenge!

Happy Crafting!
