I have been creating, but not quite finishing anything ... so last night I did a "finish it off" session. But before I show you those cards, I want to share a card I had a go at very early this morning. I was really lucky to in an online classes CAS course, and day 2 was an OLC card. I was really inspired by Amber's card, and thought i could adapt it using Waltzing mouse stamps (offbeat set I think).
OK I am absolutely rubbish at masknig off for stamping large areas so its not prefect, but not bad for a first attempt at this. I cut a square out using my nesties and then laid the 3 patterns I wanted on my block. I inked them in Purple Twlight and stamped them using a mouse mat ... needed a bit more pressure at the edges. I love this effect and think in the right colours it would make a fab masculine card.
Challenges:
Less Is More - predomniately purple
Ragged Princess was coloured at the weekend and she has sat on my desk waiting for the mojo todo something with her!! She is coloured using promarkers and flexmarkers and the I cutout and layered onto digi papers (Raspberry Road I think) and a paper doilly. I added a rose to her hand and some flowers.
Challenges:
Kreative Stamp Friends - Winter (well winter colours!)
Stamps&Fun=Creativity - sketch
Addicted to Stamps - January Blues
Anything Goes - Anything Goes
Passion for Promarkers - inspired by a song (where the Wild roses grow by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave ... she looks so like I image Eliza to look!)
And finally
Pippi from Sugar Nellie ... Elaine has a bit of a thing about Pippi, and after threatening my stamps with a curse I finally inked her up last week. While I was at it I inked her twice, and so this one got coloured in on Sunday. I used warm grey promarkers to colour the image and the dp is created using a Tattered Angels screen and pumice stone DI. The cardstock is distressed using my TH distresser. Some dyed seam binding and a layered flower to complete it. I used the
Sugar Bowl sketch and theme ... jsut a couple of days before the new challegne to get your cards done.
Challenges:
Samuel Taylor - distressing
Craft Your Passion - mythical creatures
Everybody Art Challenge - shabby

What lovely cards. I'm a WM and purple fan, so your LIM card really caught my eye. I think you're right about a bit more pressure at the edges, but it's a great guy card. Would you mind if I CASEd it?
