Hippity Hoppity

The Monday Greetings challenge this week is "Anything Goes". Here is another fun Crazy Bird stamp with bunny ears from Tim Holtz.

Rock Solid

I made this canvas for a challenge at a local stamp store (Pages in Time). The theme was Rock Solid. I decided to go with a couple who were committed to each other. We were given the pebbles stencil and viva Croco (silver) to work with. I used my cloud stencil and two shades of Distress ink blue for my background. The dolls are from Prima. He has a tie that matches her dress and the dragonflies were cut out of the same paper.

Spring is in the Air

The Sunday CAS challenge at The Outlawz this week was "Spring is in the Air". I thought that this hummingbird was a good depiction of spring.

Happy Easter

Just a fun Easter card that is very spring like.

Another gelato technique. The text was embossed in white on the card stock. Gelatos were then scribbled on and moved around with a wet baby wipe. I added the sequins for fun.

Butterflies

The CAS challenge at The Outlawz this week is to use green and something from nature. I inked my embossing folder with green distress ink and then added the darker green after I embossed. The butterflies are fabric and the wings are popped up.

You're how old?

This month stamp club we played with gelatos. One of the techniques that we did was using gelatos on muslin. We scribbled the gelato onto the fabric and then pulled it out with water. I thought my color combination was perfect for this new Tim Holtz Crazy Cat.

Pretty Flowers

The current Tuesday Color challenge at The Outlawz is a Tic-Tac-Toe Board. The color combination I used was yellow, green (free spot) and pink. Of course, taking the diagonal route that I did, I ended up with two twists - ribbon and pearls. The image and background were colored using gelatos.
