beautiful butterflies

Oh my goodness it's been soooooo long. I thought it was time I added something to my poor neglected blog.
this is a card made for the MIL. It was a backgound that I had prepared during a class I was taking and I liked that the colour was almost like a sky blue, so what else to add but some butterflies flitting about.
All Stamps are Rubbadubbadoo - birthday block and monarch
All inks are kaleidacolor - blue breeze and desert heat.

SQ Feb sketch challenge

Well the 10th of the month has been and gone so the sketch challenge is up over at stampersquest. This horse card was made using Rubbadubbadoo stamps with a hero arts sentiment. It was inspired by Kitties tutorial at Stampersquest which you can see here. I had fun drawing in the fence but was not brave enough to attempt a tree so I used one I already had.






This card uses the same sketch turned on its side.
I've used darkroom door stamps and ?Distress Inks? with lots of distressing of the edges with scissors and fingernails.



Go and look at the other Artistic guides interpretations here. And as the readers cards are contributed you can see them here in The Sketchbook.

African bodice dress card

Here is the third card I made for the Stampers Quest January issue focussing on Masking.

It is my advanced level card - go to Stampers Quest to see how I made it and check out the other masking projects while you are there.

All the stamps I have used are from Rubbadubbadoo. If you still haven't done it, I recommend you go and have a look at their catalogue.

Faux ripped wallpaper card

Here is the second card I made for the Stampers Quest January issue focusing on Masking. It is my intermediate level card - go to Stampers Quest to see how I made it.

All stamps are from Rubbadubbadoo. They are the same stamps used in the previous card with a different focus and masking technique.

Solitary Lion card for the 'discoverer'

Here is the first card I made for the Stampers Quest January issue focussing on Masking. It is my beginner level card - go to Stampers Quest to see how I made it.

All stamps are from Rubbadubbadoo. I recommend you go and have a look at their catalogue - with the NZ dollar, as it is, at the moment it's much more economical to "buy New Zealand made" no matter where you are.
