BIRD SONG

Hello!
Tonight I have made a tag for Try It On Tuesday challenge.
This week it is all about birds and bees.

I applied Distress Stains Faded Jeans,Broken China and Forest Moss to manila tag.
Stamps are Love Birds and Wildflowers VOL2 from Darkroom Door. All stamps were stamped in black Versafine ink. Weathered Wood Distress ink swiped around outside edges of tag.

This was a fun and quick tag.

Scrapmatts House

This was made at a Scrapmatts class while at the Brisbane Craft Expo.

Just realised I have a couple of things to add to the front cover.

Was a lot fun painting,inking and assembling the cover.
The house album has 6 chipboard pages. I have some ideas brewing for the pages.
Will be adding lots of ribbon and fibres to the book rings.
I was going to put an old family photo in the frame, but decided to use this gorgeous image instead.

ONE LAYER CARD

Susan, over at Simplicity has challenged us to make a one layer card using stamped images and/or sentiments.
NO extra cardstock
NO embellishments
NO masking
No sponging

CAS (clean and simple)

We could layer with ink.

On a folded white card I stamped the Reindeer in Barn Door distress ink.
The sentiment stamped next in black versafine ink.
This was surprisingly fun to do...so I made about 12 cards in a few minutes.

Some with a different sentiment.

Some I had to add a little bling

See the bling on the nose?

And then got carried away!

All stamps are from Darkroom Door 'Christmas Reindeer' set.

HOT CHRISTMAS

The Artistic Stamper has a challenge to use HOT COLOURS.

I needed to start on my Christmas cards, so this is what I made.

Its a very quick and simple card.

Distress Stain Wild Honey over white card.Then swiped Wild Honey distress ink direct to paper at random and around edge of card.
Stamps are from my favourite Darkroom Door 'Christmas Reindeer' set.
The Reindeer and words inked with Barn Door distress ink.
'PEACE' was stamped on white card,cut out and adhered with foam tape. The other two words were stamped direct to card.
Gold Kindy Glitz for the antlers.The black card base make the colours even more vivid.

I think I will be making a few of these simple Christmas cards for people who are likely to throw it away!

Distress Stains make it so quick.

HELLO!

Quick and easy card today.

Wild Honey distress stain applied to white card. Stamped Darkroom Door word stamp in black Versafine ink. Stamped just the HELLO in Dusty Concord distress ink on scrap white paper,cut out and edged in Wild Honey distress ink. This was popped over the black HELLO with foam tape.
I then took a larger piece of white card and stamped the Darkroom Door Scratches background stamp in Dusty Concord ink. This piece was used to mat the word panel.Then adhered to folded black card.
