Sunday Stampers -Little Ole Wine Drinker Me

This Sunday Stampers Challenge was to do something with wine.

Again, I am wondering what I can use. I do not have a stamp with Wine bottles, glasses, grapes, you name it when it comes to wine.

So I start searching some clip art I have, and ran across the two that I used for this weeks challenge. I first stained my ATC with my Violet and Soft Rose Ink Pads. I glued my clip art to my ATC. Using my Karen Foster - Small Formal Snap-Stamps using my Ruby colored Cats Eye. Then using the Rose Stamp from my Rhonna Farrer Flower collection, I Stamped the rose to the side.

Sunday Stampers - Cool for Cats

I am running a week behind for my Sunday Stampers Challenge

I am thinking what can I do, I do not have a stamp with Cats on it.
I have been wanting to make more ATC's, so I was looking through my Fall ATC Collection by Leisure Arts and I come across these cute children with their cats on Halloween. I know its awful early to be doing anything for Halloween. But I had to have something for this challenge.



First I mixed some orange acrylic paint with some Gesso and painted my ATC card. I glued my little girl and her cats onto the card. Using my Acrylix "Close to my Heart" Love Tag Stamps, I stamped "friends and love" onto the card. I distressed the edges of the card with my Color Box - Fluid Chalk Ink Pad in the Dark Brown color, I also distressed the whole top of the card with this. Then I embossed the edges of the card and used my word stamps to emboss the words. I used clear embossing ink.

I also painted this ATC card the same as before. I then stamped the card in black with my Stamp Craft small floral stamp. I distressed the edges of the little guy and his cat and glued him down. I stamped "Trick or Treat" onto the card with my Karen Foster -Small Formal Snap-Stamps. I also used the Dark Brown Color Box-Fluid Chalk Ink Pad on this card. I used it to distress the edges also. I then embossed the words and edges of the card.

Springtime Pictures

In the Garden is the Monthly Challenge for May on the The Artistic Stampers Blog. The beautiful Scalloped Die Cut paper is from my RAK from WILNA....I love it. (Thanks again Wilna)

I stamped the stems and leaves using the "Flower" collection by Rhonna Farrer. I also used the same set of stamps to stamp the flowers onto felt and then I cut them out. The Daisy's are from the Wright's Ribbon -Venice Daisy Series. I then attached the buttons to the centers of the felt flowers.

I stamped Spring with Karen Foster Snap Stamps - Small Formal set. I think they will be my favorite stamp I have...you just arrange your words together snap them together and then stamp...really easy. I used Ruby Color Box Pigment Brush Pad on the stamp.

I added paper flowers and brads to the top of the page. Also around the mat under the pictures I used my "Lace" style scissors to give it a soft edge.

The spring pictures were taken this Spring as the earth came back to life.

TFL,
