Stampotique designers Challenge 171 ...... Favourite colours

This week Nellie is our host and she has challenged us to use our favourite colours, use as many colours as you want, we all favourite colour combinations, colours we turn to when we lack inspiration! Nellie said her colours were Blue and Green, mine are now Pink and White, due to Lara clothes mainly being Pink and White! 

So with this in mind I set to work.......

I decided I had  not done a scrapbook page for awhile and it would be nice to use some fabric and stamp on fabric as well, so I made this Using 5 Stampotique rubber stamps !

Here are a few close ups of the stamping on fabric

Now that's my project, its over to you to show us your favourite colours and join in the fun at the SDC blog, there is a link on the right hand side of this post. 

What's on my Work Desk Wednesday

Here is my desk this week....

I have not had any spare time to clean up this week... As you can see in this close up! 

I have been busy making design team projects for Craft Stamper Magazine and Stampotique and just not had any clean up time!!

Here is a fabric scrapbook layout I've made using Stampotique rubber stamps, I enjoyed using fabric for a change !

It's been a busy family weekend and week, so little time to make anything else much this week, 

Although pumkins have been carved, cake pops and cup cakes made .....

"Here is my desk

At the front left the Lara album I'm doing for my daughter with lots of PL cards I have made myself. I went to stay with a crafty friend and went to the crop at Otley on Saturday with three friends, here they are crafting away

We had a good six hours and I worked on my PL cards...

Above that is the remnants of a set of party invites I quickly made for a friends little girl, she is having a tea party for her birthday and needed some invites, so I put these together for her.

At the back on the stand is my Stamptique card for this weeksStampotique Designers Challenge blog.

There are a few rubber stamps dotted around my desk and some bits of the lara album to the right, as I have been putting pages together.

Here are a few of the Lara pages I have been making...

I also made this set of cards for the album

I made a couple of ATC's for a swap

And have done another page in my daughters Pregancy album, I included the sonnet she wrote to her unborn baby while she was so ill. This has since been published in two books!

Craft Stamper "Make it Take it" inspiration

The current challenge is about multi coloured stamping ..... Have you tired it yet? Why not have a go and join in the fun......here

Here is a journal page I did in my daughters Pregancy Journal using multi coloured stamping 

She was really sick with Hyperemesis Gravidarum and was hospitalised as she had lost 10% of her body weight in a few weeks and was so weak she could hardly stand! 

She wrote the sonnet to her baby when she came out of hospital ( it's been published in a couple of books) and was feeling a little stronger.

I Set to work with these three Stampotique rubber stamps

I put gesso on my background paper and sprayed it with ink.

I then inked the stamps with the markers and randomly stamped all over the page 

I then put paint round the photo's and journal page 

Then put the page together

So why not join in and have a go at multi coloured stamping 

There is a great prize of rubber stamps to be won!

Stampotique Designers Challenge 168

Book Text is the new challenge this week at the SDC blog!

Corrie has set us this challenge...I would like you all to use book text. This is such a versatile material and when I get stuck I regularly reach for an old book to use the pages. I think everybody has a old book or magazine lying around they can use. I can't wait to see your creations, have fun !

So with this in mind I set off and made this page in my journal

I started by making the surround with brushes 

Then I started on the main images using a page from my dictionary!

The two stamps I have used are 

And 

Next I Did lots of inking and masked my images

Then removed masks And added colour 

Then Added some snow and Matt and layered with the yellow

And that's my journal page for Corries challenge this week!

Now let's see your challenge and join in the fun!

There is a link to the challenge on the right hand side of this post..... So come on join in the fun!
