Winter Wonderland

Artistic Stamper has a 'Christmas' challenge and DCM a 'Winter' one so here is my Winter Wonderland. I stamped the scene using black Stazon and Art Impressions and Stampscapes stamps then coloured it using Cosmic shimmers, inks and Lyra crayons with water. The whole card is very sparkly and shimmery, difficult to reproduce in the scan. Oops forgot to add My Time to Craft 'Seasons' challenge too.

My 'Blue' friend

Here is my entry for this month's Artistic Stamper challenge 'Animals'. The background paw paper I printed out from My Craft Studio cd and layered it onto a blue card. I added blue ribbon down the side and two photo corners. I stamped the lovely cat face with black Stazon, masked her and stamped with the Cracked Earth stamp also in black. I coloured her eyes and nose with green and pink chalks then sponged blue chalks onto the crackle background and mounted her with a blue ribbon. The reason I call her my 'Blue' cat is we had a blue ( some would call her grey) Korat with exactly the same facial features and her name was Blue - we lost her at 16 a couple of years ago and I still miss her terribly.

It's an Artistic Stamper Winner

Wow, I am delighted to say this card of mine won the May Challenge over at Artistic Stamper and I shall be receiving some lovely blog candy Floral Stamps as my prize. Thanks to all on the challenge site, do check it out if you get chance, there is an Animals challenge this month.
