A little bit of retro

Today is new challenge day at

Crafty Catz.

Our theme is

Anything Goes.

I seem to use mostly digi images these days, so I have made a decision to go back to using some of my older rubber stamps.

So I have gone back to my old Magnolia stamps. She has been coloured with alcohol pens. The background is made up of lots of colour coordinated patterned papers and die cut bits. Some distressing to the edges of the papers and round the image. I've really enjoyed doing this card, it's been a long time since I last used these stamps, think I will have to do more.

It's now May, this year is going so fast.

But lets have a new challenge at

The Crafty Catz.

Our theme is now always

Anything Goes

So for this weeks inspiration I've gone for something really simple. I've seen a lot of this cards around and thought I would have try. It is simply die cut circles, in 3 sizes or more, cut in half then layered up and misaligned. Then just added a sentiment and a leaf spray. There are endless possibilities and so quick to do, I really want to try lots more.

Wolf

Another month gone so another challenge starts today at

The Critter Crazy challenge.

Our theme is anything goes

as long as a critter is the main image on your card.

I think this is an old discontinued Clarity Stamps image of a wolf. It's been stamp in grey archival ink. The 2 corner panels are stamped using distress ink with added water to make them look like watercolour. The panel behind the wold has been stencilled in a very light blue using the Clarity stripes stencil. Then all has been layered up using dark blue card, with a die cut sentiment in dark blue too. I think makes a great male card.
