Happy Scribbles

What makes me happy?  Playing with Distress Inks, definitely.  Stamping, yup.  Scribbling, uh huh.  So today I'm very happy making this card.

Inked up the stamp with Distress Inks, spritzed and stamped, then scribbled à la Papertrey Make It Monday #203 inspiration by Ashley- doodling with stamps.  I used one of the wildflowers from Larger Than Life, and the sentiment from Wet Paint.

There's a hint of clover in there (if you ignore the shape of the leaves.  Just look at the flowers.) so I'm playing along with Simon Says Monday Challenge - A Hint of Clover.

And it all makes me happy.  So I'm playing along at Less Is More - This Makes Me Happy :)

Papertrey 8th Anniversary - Take Three

Third and final post for Papertrey 8th Anniversary. This next card is for Challenge 5 - Spring into action - use a stamp set that hasn't seen ink yet and Challenge 7 - Heavy Metal - use only metallics and neutrals.

I've had the robot set for ages and never had the excuse to use it.  I stamped the heart from Wet Paint in his belly and embossed it with silver, and added nailhead for eyes.

This next card is for Challenge 8 - blue ombré:

Washed a piece of mixed media paper with Distress Inks and spritzed, then stamped Larger Than Life wildflowers over it, and mounted it onto white card.

That's all folks (for today anyway!).

Papertrey 8th Anniversary - Take Two

Back with a couple more challenges for Papertrey.  Click here for the first two.

Challenge 3 - Make a Tag for a Bag

I used a Waltazingmouse stitched tag die, sprayed some Dylusions into the corner, then stamped using the Wet Paint set.  Tied it on to the handle with some lime and black polkadot ribbon.

Challenge 4 - Build a Bouquet

Larger than Life, Communique Curves Sentiments, Distress Ink Minis and splatters!  I'm also entering this one into Simplicity One Layer Challenge - You Blend.

Back soon with the last two!

ETA: Just re-read the rules for the Build a Bouquet - only used one floral set.  Oh well!

Papertrey 8th Anniversary - Take One

I'm entering a few of the challenges at Papertrey, so I've split them into a few posts.  Here's post No.1 for Challenges 1 and 2:

Challenge 1 - Colour Recipe and Sketch

I've used the Wet Paint set together with a Penny Black die which I've covered with encaustic wax.

Challenge 2 - CASE Maille Belles

I chose this card by Maille:

Maille Belles

Here's my version, which I'm also entering into Simplicity One Layer Challenge - You Blend.

The tree is made a from a wildflower in the Larger Than Life set, sentiment from Communique Curves Sentiments, house from The Bee's Knees Houses.

Back soon with the next instalment!

Butterfly Garden and Magenta ATC Swap

I'm playing along with Make It Monday for the first time (now that I own some Papertrey Ink stamps - thanks, Maria!).  The theme is watercolour splats - how could I refuse?

I'm also playing along with CASology where the theme is Garden:

And with Simon Says Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Clean and Simple:

Butterfly by Clearly Besotted, all other stamps by Papertrey Ink

I took part in an ATC swap on the Magenta blog, and Mariette posted all the swaps on Wednesday.  Here are the ones I submitted - take a look on the Magenta blog to see what I got in return, and all the other gorgeous ATCs in the swap.
