That Craft Place Challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is Anything Goes.

I have used this adorable fish digi stamp Lisa's very own Ditzie Digi Design. It comes as part of  digi stamp set called Something fishy, and you get 2 of these cute fish, accessory stamps and sentiments :). I love the colours of this Echo park dp - goes perfectly with the fishy blues.  I added some stretchy webbing which I stretched and shaped to look like weeds.  Finally I added some crystal beads to be a bit like bubbles.

That Craft Place challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is Charming.

I went for something a bit different - I used the fab cherub mask and inked it up in barn door, vintage photo and walnut stain distress inks.  I then went mad and decoupaged the brown masks onto the red one!!  Having layered the face up I spritzed it with glimmer mist.

I created the background using metallic distress stains, firec brick and vintage photo distress stains.  When it was dry I used sequin waste and inked thruogh it using walnut staindistress ink.  Finally I added some frantage and the key.

Its New Years Day and That Craft Place  are having a facebook group challenge :)

my best friend has recently moved house and I made this canvas as a housewarming gift for her.  I primed the canvas with pewter crackle paint and then placed the Tattered Angels butterfly screen on it and sprayed over it with dylusions spray.  Once it had dried I kept the screen in place and inked over it with chipped sapphire distress ink.  Finally i stamped the butterflies and sentiments from Visible image and added the pearls.

That Craft Place Challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is Christmas.

 

I used this beautiful Ditzies Designs Nativity stencil, and inked it using Chipped Sapphire distress ink.  I used the Ditzies Design star stencil to create the background, simply using the Ranger embossing dabber over the stencil and then sprinkling embossing powder over and heating.  I had to repeat the process a couple of times to get the card covered.  Finally I stamped up the Visible image sentiment in chipped sapphire distress ink.

I used Clayton from Visible Image, and coloured him using my copics.  I used Lisa's own brand of stencils, Ditzies Designs, to create the background.  I used barn door and faded jeans distress ink, and moved the star stencil around to get full coverage.  I added some raffia lace for a bit of texture and stamped out the sentiment from Ditzies Designs.

I hate pink so I went for something a bit different, a Scrap page as I ran the race for life in July ...

 

I put trainers on for the first time 9 weeks before race day ... bit of a challenge but I did it with my best friend Jo.  It was a really hot day and I was just so glad when it was over!!  I used a 12x12 pink paper from Lisa and added some journalling using a nestibility, again from Lisa, and made the cancer ribbon emblems from ribbon, again from Lisa.

That Craft Place challenge

 Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is inspired by music - 

I was inspired by a beautiful card Cheremane made and basically pinched her idea!!  I stamped the music stamp onto cream cardstock, and then distressed round the edges using victorian velvet distress ink.   I stitched round the edges of the cardstock. I stamped the butterfly onto the cream cardstock and then cut it out.  I curved the wings to create dimension and added the sentiment below it.  Finally I added some pearls.

That Craft Place challenge

 Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is stitching.

I used this large Hero Arts collage stamp and stamped it in versafine sepia ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I used my Spellbinders circle nestibilities to create circles in some cardstock.  I used the cardstock and distress ink to create this spotlights of colour over the stamp.  The embossing resists the ink so you keep the orginal colour.  Finally I matted it up onto kraft and black cardstock and stitched it with my sewing machine.

That Craft Place challenge

 Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is ibbon and lace.

Something a little different from me again - I made a lace flower by simply stitching along the edge of lace and then gathering it into a circle and fadtening it off.  I used a section of the rose ribbon trim that lisa sells, cut it off and sprayed it with fired brick distress ink to stain it.  Having stitched it onto the lace I added a brooch pin to the back and then fastened it on a piace of flet so it can be easily removed to wear.  Finally some pearls.

Visible Image DT post

 Today I am showing you something a little bit different usingstamps from the Time After Time set from Visible Image Stamps.

I used the stamps to decorate a paper mache mask and wing ...

 Having painted the mask using gold acrylic paint, I used the crackled and gears stamps from the Time After Time set to add detail to the mask.  

I added charms attached to key chains and lots of frantage ...

Stamping onto uneven surfaces is quite easy if you are using unmounted stamps, and the great thing about these Visible Image stamps is not only are they made of polymer, but they are also clear so you can see exactly what you are doing.  As they are quite thick etched stamps they easily stamp up when bent and plied with so you can really play around with them. They also have the advantage of being quite tacky so they stick well to your fingers!!

I inked up the stamp with it on my fingers ...

 Then simply placed it where I wanted it to be and rolled it across and eased the stamp round the curves on the mask.

I repeated this all over the mask - and applied different amonts of pressure so I got partial stamping, and sometimes stamped again before adding more ink so I had a shadow or ghost effect.

 And for more inspiration don't forget to check out the Visible Image's facebook page, and the Visible Image blog where we have a monthly challenge.  This month's theme is ...
