July at Stamping Sensations

It is the first Sunday of the month and time for another challenge at Stamping Sensations. This month our theme is

***All Creatures Great and Small***

and our sponsors are the lovely Jean and Malcolm of Crafty Individuals.

My first card was made with CI-523 otherwise known as Happy Cat. the background was created using dylusion sprays including the white one through a mandala stencil from That's Crafty.

My second card was made using  CI 526 and CI 430. The stag was stamped, coloured and cut out, before placing on the background with 3d glue. This was a father's day card, but could quite easily be used for any time of the year.

Please remember we are a stamping challenge and the focal element of your work must reflect the theme (i.e. real animals/insects). Whist we prefer conventional stamping, digital images are allowed. You can check out the challenge rules here.

Do go to the challenge blog to check out the breathtaking creations from my multi-talented teamies. You can also find more details of the fantastic prize!

Stags galore!

I was lucky enough to get the Crafty Individuals Stag for Christmas and it was my first stamp to get inked up. I started off with a 15cm candle...

Then I made a card...

And finally I made a second card with a bit of a Scottish theme, with Burns Night in a couple of weeks

Here are links to the stamps used:
   Stag CI-526
   Baroque splatter script CI-430
   Large Elegant swirl CI-182
   Paisley swirl background CI- 435
The stags were coloured with Arteza brush pens and dots of gold liquid pearls were used to add a little dimension.

Stag Sunset

Here is a lollystick plaque made using the larger lolly sticks, stuck together with hot glue. I then painted it with Acrylic paints (nothing fancy, just some from Wilkos) and stamped with inkylicious stamps and versafine ink. I am going to try another like this with versafine clair to see if I get a crisper outline. I have a couple of projects on the go at the moment which I will share with you soon. The craft fest is in full swing, lol 😁

Autumn Stag

The theme at Allsorts this week is Autumn Glory, and as it is my favourite season of the year I had to play along. My card was made with the new Inkylicious stamp, Forest Stag, zig clean color markers, inkylicious fern stamp, memento inks and ink dusters. The tartan papers were from Craftwork cards.
