Stitching up a challenge!

This week's Saturday's Workout theme is stitching. I LOVE to combine hand
stitching and beading with stamping,
so here are three cards I
finished this week.

The stamp on this one is
from Impression Obsession.

This stamp is from Quietfire Design.

Suzanne's beautiful hand calligraphy goes so well with pretty stitching!

This stamp is from Quietfire as well.

Tag You're It!

So I found this fun new challenge site...Tag You're It, and instead of vacuuming, taking my dog for her long walk in the park, and weeding my garden, I'm playing in my happy room with this tag challenge. Uh-oh. FUN though! Here's my first entry for this challenge. This week's tag theme is to create round tags. I love this Tin Can Mail baby face stamp, and I think she looks so cute on the Rubber Stampede daisy background.

Make a Moo or Two

This week's challenge is to use only brown-beige-crème
on our creations. These wee little things are such fun to make.
Here's mine for this week. Go have a look, join the
challenge at "Make a Moo or Two!"

Wednesday Stamper Challenge

This week's Wednesday Stamper challenge is to alter playing cards. Here's my offering. I added the "K" and the diamonds digitally, printed out the image, glued to a card, then stamped and pop-dotted the hats (Just Johanna).
Thanks for this fun, quirky challenge!

Wings...sunglasses suggested for viewing (lol)

This week's Arty Girlz challenge is "Wings." I used a Tim Holtz stamp for the main little girl image,
stamped on glossy with Ancient Page Coal Black ink, then masked it, brayered over it
with a Kaleidacolour inkpad, then stamped Penny Black lace flowers and
Lazar Studio Werx leaves stamp with StazOn.

Thanks for the challenge Crissi and Julie, thanks for the inspiration Kim,
and thank YOU for visiting today.

Challenges

The Created by Hand challenge this week is to create tags. The current Daring Cardmakers
challenge is to use beads. So here's my tag incorporating both challenges.

Paisley

I'm so lucky to be able to get together with a group of very talented local women, to share ideas and to stamp. We challenge one another, and this session's challenge was to create a card originally done by one of the
group’s stampers. So I was inspired by this paisley card from Julie and created something of my own.
I used Impression Obsession stamps, designed by Leigh Hannan. I gold-embossed the
paisley six times, then painted with Twinkling H2O’s. It was a GREAT design.

So here's my card

And here's Julie's card, Thanks so much for the inspiration Julie! Be sure to visit
her blog to see some lovely work.
