Make it Magical at TioT

It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this time it's Make it Magical.

I'm sharing another page from my little Fairy book about the four little rabbits.

I've used a combination of Lavinia stamps to build up the scene for my little fairy friends and all colouring was done with Distress inks.

The rest of the Design Team have some fabulous inspiration for you so pleas pop over to the main challenge page, where you will also find all the challenge details.

Thanks for calling in, Avril xx
 

Mid month Summer Blooms at Stamping Sensations

 It's time for a mid month reminder for our challenge at Stamping Sensations, where the theme is Summer Blooms, or if you prefer, you can always go with the A/G option.  We have some fabulous prizes from AALL&Create for 2 Lucy Winners, just remember you must include some real stamping on the front of your project to be eligible to enter.

I've made a tag using the gorgeous  Bird of Paradise stamp from  Plant Your Dreams (#320)  I stamped the image first, then masked out the flower before inking my tag with Peacock Feathers DI.  I also used a circle mask to cover the flower allowing me to highlight the image.  I used embossing paste through the Lotza Dotz Stencil (#39).  It's difficult to tell by the photo, but the tag is mounted onto a black backing.

The rest of the team have some fabulous samples to show, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

I am going to enter this tag over at Tag-along (and ATCs) as it fits in with the In the Garden theme this month.

Also Beautiful Blossoms has a A/G Floral challenge and The Paper Funday has a A/G with a Fin with Stencils twist.

Enjoy the Flowers

 I hadn't made tags for quite a while - until I saw the new challenge  at Tag-along(and ATCs) and I've really enjoyed making them again,  AND as I won this gorgeous set of tag dies last month in the challenge, well,  I had to use them for my entry this month where the theme is In the Garden.

I've just bought one of the new Tracy Evans stamps - Bloom and Grow and I've used it here on a mop up background, stamping twice but masking out the middle flower.  I've coloured with Inktense pencils and a little white gel pen for highlights.  I also added a little pocket to the back of the tag as it will probably hold money or a gift voucher.

A short post as we're off to do the nursery pick up and a treat tea and ice cream in McDonalds - not for me though!

Summer Blooms at TioT

The new challenge at  Try it on Tuesday is Summer Blooms, so any project relating to Summer flowers

I've used an old Studio Light image but masked off the wording at the bottom, stamped in black on a leftover mop up sheet. It's watercoloured with Inktense pencils and  I've die cut the sentiment from leftover card that was used for the purple layer.

The rest of the DT have some gorgeous samples to show, so please pop over to the main challenge page, where you will find all the details.

Thanks for calling in.   Avril xx 

Summer Blooms at Stamping Sensations

The new challenge at Stamping Sensations this month is Summer Blooms or you can always opt for the Anything Goes option.  There are some fabulous prizes this month from AALL&Create.

For my card I've used AALL&Create 229 Blooming Field which was stamped onto watercolour card and coloured with Inktense pencils.  For a little background interest I've stenciled lightly with Milled Lavender Di

The rest of the team have some gorgeous samples to share, so please visit the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details, just remember, you must include at least one stamped element on the front of your entry.

Thanks for calling in. Avril x 

 

Add Some Text at TioT

                                             

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Add Some Text and as long as it's not just one word or a greeting, we'd love to see you there.

I've made another fun tag, these are great to add to a bottle of wine when you give as a present or whatever.  I've have a couple of sets of 'wine' words that I've had for ages, they've lost their packaging, so I can't remember where they are from.  My lady is again a very old stamp from Flonzcraft.

After stamping my image I used a sticky mask to cover her and then splattered Salty Ocean Distress ink all over the tag and then stamped the words.

The rest of the DT have some great inspiration on using text on your projects, so please pop over to the main page for all the details.

As this tag is 'drink' related, I'm going to enter again at Tag-Along(and ATCs)

Thanks for calling in, Avril xx

Stamping Sensations mid month Our Furry friends

I'm showing another page from my little Fairy Journal which has little rabbits and a playful fox.

All the stamps I've used are from Lavinia and I've coloured the little scene using Distress inks and Inktense pencils.

Edited to add, this was a scheduled post due to a few days away, so unable to add any challenges, but I would like to enter over at We Love Stamping, where the theme is Nature, hope I'm not too late!
