Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge ......

Good morning .......

It's Friday!  It's the 1st of November!! ....... and this is the first of three blog posts from me today ..... yes THREE!!!  What was I saying about things calming down a little ........ not yet they're not!

First up, it's the Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge.

You know the theme .... Anything Goes, just remember to include some actual rubber stamping on your project.  Also,  please don't forget ...... keep to just one project only on your blog post, and include a link to the Craft Stamper Challenge post.

It might be November, and less than eight weeks until the big day but, I still can't get my head around making Christmas cards.  I wonder if I can get away with bought ones this year!

I have however, been waiting ages to show this little guy .......

He's from a clear stamp set called Warrior by Tracey Hey ..... and he's soooo cute!!

Just look at that face!!!!!! .........

I stamped, coloured him using ZIG markers, and fussy cut him twice ...... once in full, and then the second time I just cut around his head and glorious mane.

I brushed Distress Inks onto the centre of a piece of white card stock and then splattered with water, allowing the water to sit for a few seconds before mopping up the excess with a paper towel.

I used a wobbler spring to layer the lion ..... 1. to add dimension and 2. to give some movement to the stamped image

I then added this to the front of my card and stamped the words simply in black ink ......

To finish off I added a few dots of glitter glue here and there, and a few ink splatters.

As always there's prizes up for grabs .........
The challenge winner (randomly chosen) will receive this gorgeous PaperArtsy stamp set ....

Or ...... you could be our next Design Winner, chosen by the DT, and they will get their winning project published in the Craft Stamper magazine, a winner's profile and the chance to be a Guest Designer on a futuure Blog challenge.

Happy stamping!

Thanks for popping by ..... have a great day.
I'll be back later with another blog challenge and a fabulous fun Blog Hop!

Cherrio until then ......

Happy Tuesday ......

Oh dear ..... not the best of starts to September.
Here am I, thinking I'm all organised, when suddenly I realise that my post for this month's Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge hasn't gone live ...... argghhh!!!
Put it down to the fact that I've no idea what day of the week it is ...... hubby's been off work, we've had crafty get together's on days when we don't normally have them, and the schools are not back yet!!  Confused or what!! (it doesn't take much!!)

Anyway, I'm here now ...... better late then never (phew!!)

As you can see, this month's challenge has a colour theme ....... Pink and Grey to be exact.

I love this stamp ...... how cute are these little guys!

And .... the sentiment comes in the set too .....

I simple stamped the image using a grey ink and then added a touch of colour to just two of the alpacas using Distress Inks

A touch of glitter glue for a bit of added sparkle, and I finished off with a strip of card coloured with Distress Ink along the sentiment banner.  I think this would make a cute anniversary card.

You've got until the end of the month to play along with the challenge .... see you in the gallery!

I've got the little man here today.  It's the last day of the summer holidays, so he's making the most of it ..... back to school tomorrow.
It's going to be quiet around here.  Hopefully I'll get back on track .... what day is it?!!!

Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the res tof your day.

Cheerio until next time ......
