Lots of Sunshine

Hello!

Have you been enjoying a glorious weekend of sunshine?  I have been loving this warm weather and when I did seek some shelter in my craft room was obviously inspired by the summer sun....

I used my sunray stencil on a panel of white card and used distress oxides - Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral and Fossilised Amber to create the rays.  I die cut the lovely Hello Sunshine from Stamplorations out of black card 4 times and layered them up to give a chunky effect before clear embossing.  I shall link up at Inkspirational where the photo inspiration is:

I shall also link up at Just Us Girls where the theme is Anything Goes.

While I had the distress oxides out I decided to ink up my mandala stencil.  I inked it up three times and cut elements from the top two layers to give lots of dimension.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I shall link this card up at Time Out where our theme is Warm.  I shall also link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes this week.

The stencils that I have used today are available in my Folksy shop:

Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge

Hello!

I am popping in with a project for the February Take It, Make It challenge at Craft Stamper.  I used one of Trish Latimer's fabulous WordGirl stamps - available in her Etsy shop and one of my mdf art boards which are for sale in my Folksy shop.

I primed the mdf with white gesso and then applied some dylusions paints with a brayer before layering up with my mandala stencil and some stencilled stars.  I knocked the colour back a bit with some white paint and then stamped some Stamploration stamps in archival black to add grungy elements.  The stream of stars is from Uniko.  I stamped the girl on some watercolour card that I had coloured with Pixie Powders and then added further colour with watercolour pencils and highlights with a white paint pen.

I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by,
