This one is very similar to my previous post as I started them both at the same time and was using almost the same colours, I just needed to finish the second one, which is always my biggest challenge lol to finish things.<br />

Here is my offering for the latest <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.nl/2015/09/sdc214-early-halloween.html" target="_blank">Stampotique Designers Challenge</a> Early Halloween. I used distress inks and pens for all the colouring and a couple of memory box dies for the spider, spiders web and letters.<br />

<br />
So here is my attempt, I have to say the OH My Goodness how scary is it to just put ink to card, I dithered around for ages, just in case I ruined that piece of white card, hahaha, it was a bit of a revelation and an experience, one which I will attempt to do more often.<br />
<br />
This card is totally inspired and to a degree copied from Marge McGuire in Stampers sampler Take Ten Winter issue, I think it worked well as one layer, I have made it with my partners Birthday in mind so the stamps used have specific meaning, like his age and our new bikes. It also looks a bit more green in real life.<br />

Oh my goodness it has been ages and ages since I have done a <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.nl/2012/08/b260-sketch-challenge.html">Stampotique Challenge</a> but this sketch one really took my fancy. I had this background in my scraps box, it was made with Dylusion sprays and then a bleach spray over it. After I stamped the text I stenciled some golden stars around it. The main star is stamped on gold mirror card which does not show up so well in the photo but in real life adds a bit of blingness. It was quick and easy to make and I think it is pretty, hope you like it as well.Corinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11647308433159791186noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641484889693178754.post-86801727534005021652012-04-21T02:05:00.000-07:002012-04-21T02:05:10.512-07:00The <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/sdc52-oodles-of-doodles.html">Stampotique Designer Challenge</a> is SDC52: Oodles of Doodles. This is really so way, way, way out of my comfort zone, I love stamps because I can't draw at all. So this was very simple, some Ranger colour wash for the background, I stamped the tree on paper and coloured with Copics, stamped the little flowers then doodled the birds, border, little bird house and a couple of extra flowers. I don't think I love this card, but at least I tried hehehe.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This started out as a plain white file from Ikea, I painted it with Moon Glow Starburst Stains and place some scrunched up cling flim on it while it dried. I then stamped and coloured it in, I had to go over some of the stamping with a black pen as the file is corrugated on the inside and it did not stamp up so well but I like the results, a bit of bling on the crowns just to finish it off.

Well I have a small bag of pieces of card, all cut offs from other projects and I just can't bring myself to throw them away so this challenge was ideal. I glued lots of different pieces onto card stock, regardless of colour but 90% had a texture of some kind. I painted over them all with some gesso then spritzed with a few glimmer mists. Added the stamped image which I highlighted with gel pen and then some words and brads.

Which got me thinking about horror movies which I am not a huge fan off especially when there is something in the house that turns on lights or moves furniture or eats you. Can you see where I'm going with this hehehehe.
