Sunday Sketch & Stamp # 34


Gorgeous sketch over on Sunday Sketch & Stamp this time - really simple but great for having lots of fun with. Thought I would try a bit of resist technique with my new Inkadinkadoo stamps, then jazzed is up a it with lots of coloured gems.


Having done this I then checked out another of my favourite challenge blogs Sir Stampalot only to discover that this month's challenge is BLING, so I am also entering it for this challenge too.

Latest Quirky Crafts Challenge

Just a quick post to tell you about our latest challenge over on Quirky Crafts. This time is my recipe in which you must use the following in your creation:

2 different patterned papers, 1 ribbon, at least 1 eyelet and some shrink plastic.

We are trying to encourage the creation of other crafts and not just card-making, so if you are reading this and have not yet joined in our challenges - pop over and have a go. Thanks x

Here is my creation - a grungepaper keyring; coloured with distress ink - spiced marmalade and with two shrink plastic Sizzix flowers and stitched together. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out and it was nice to make something other than a card.

WOYWW


Ooh - very late to be adding this WOYWW entry this week, but I have just come back from Stamp Addicts project club and thought I'd take a pick of my desk with tonight's creation plus all the other 'stuff' that's going on at the mo.

Have a craft / food fair going on at my local farm shop on Sunday, so am trying to get lots of cards ready to sell then. Been playing with bottle tops too - 80p ish for 50 in Wilkinsons, and new pencil pot that I won in a competition for my watercolour pencils (but no room to put the pot!).

Sorry must go to bed now, but have a good nosey round and comment tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by and looking. x
