Honeycomb and Cogs

Hello,

Just stopping by with a few cards made using some of my stencils for a couple of fab challenges.  First up, I made this card for the CAS Stencil Challenge where we are using embossing pastes this month:

I simply masked of a stripe on the front of the card and inked it with Fossilised Amber distress oxide before using a gold embossing paste through my honeycomb stencil.  I combined the stencil with Reverse Confetti's sweet bee stamp and sentiment to complete this CAS design.

On this card I used gilding flakes with my Circuit Board stencil on grey cardstock.  I like the variegated effect of the flakes!  The sentiment is from MFT and I then painted and heat embossed some of my cog mdf embellishments to create a distressed look.  I shall link this card up at Time Out where we are using at least 2 embellishments on our designs and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where we are creating our own backgrounds.  I shall also link up at Inkspirational where the challenge is to pop it up - the mdf embellishments add that extra dimension.

The products that I have used today are available to buy in my store - www.funkyfossil.co.uk:

Foxy Antics

Hello!

I am stopping by with a quick post to share a card that I have made with my Quick Brown Fox stamps and a few stencils:

I smooshed cardstock in to some distress inks to create a watercolour effect background and stencilled my Leafy Tree in the corners. I used the Round in Flowers stencil very lightly along the bottom of the panel to create a bit of visual texture.  I coloured the fox in with pencils and popped him on the card front running through the woods.

I shall link up at The Male Room Challenge where the theme is Spring and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Animal Antics.  I shall also play along at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge where Anything Goes with the optional twist of Bright and at Seize the Birthday where the theme is Spring as well.

I hope you like this card.  Here are the products that I used to make it:

Sunshine and clouds

Hello!

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and, if in the UK, had a lovely Mothers Day!  I have spent the day with my sweet mum...it has been a wet day but we have crafted and laughed all day :) 

I have made a card inspired by both Inkspirational where the cue is Clouds and at Less is More where the challenge theme is Shine a Light.  This is made with 2 stencils:

I will link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge as well where Anything Goes.

I simply inked through clouds to create a cloudy sky and cut round the edge.  I popped the cloudy panel up over the stencilled sunrays to add some dimension.

I used a couple of stencils to create this card and they are both available to buy at www.funkyfossil.co.uk.  There is currently 15% off everything in store until midday on 1 April when you use the code MUM15.

Hope Blooms

Hello!

It is the weekend already and I can't believe that we have got to the end of March already :)  With Spring well and truly in the air, I decided to make another card with my Boho Flowers stamp set.  This time, I have teamed them up with my Lightbulb aperture stencil:

I stamped the flowers through the stencil and coloured them with pencils.  I inked lightly around the bulb to give the shape some definition and stamped the sentiment inside.  

I shall link up at Addicted to Stamps where the theme is Spring and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes.

I hope you like this design.  I love stamping or stencilling into apertures, they often give a different perspective to the design :)

Both the stencil and stamp set are for sale in my online store: www.funkyfossil.co.uk - head over to see the range of products that are available.

Sleepy Fox

Hello!

I wanted to stop by today with another card made using my Quick Brown Fox stamp set.  I have kept it really CAS to work with the current challenge at AAA Cards where we are using a single image plus the optional twist of spring:

I simply stamped and masked the sleeping fox and inked around him with Tumbled Glass and Crushed Olive distress oxides.  I coloured the fox in with pencils and added a sentiment.  

I hope that you like this simple design. 

I will also link up at Simon Wednesday's Challenge where the theme is Cute.

You can buy the stamp set from my online store - www.funkyfossil.co.uk

Geometric Dragonfly

The sentiment is from Tracey Hey for Alpaca Pals.

Sweet Unicorn

Hello!

I hope that your week is going well :)  I couldn't help but make another card using one of the stamps from my new Chubby Unicorns set.  These illustrations by Kimma from Le Petite Market are just so cute!

I went over my Floral Background stencil with pink cosmic shimmer texture paste and placed it behind a heart aperture.  

I will link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where the theme is cute and for a second time at Time Out where we are celebrating their fifth birthday with cards on a birthday theme.  I will also link up at Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies.

Here is the stamp set that is available in my shop - www.funkyfossil.co.uk:
