More Stampscapes Atc's

Hiya
me again
yep
same stamps again - but different results!!

These two above were my new blues kaleidacolor inkpad direct to the gloss card - so I should have used my brayer but I was too impatient!!  I like the blues - light to dark on the bottom.  I did finish it with a spray of Berryliscious Colour sprays from Twiddleybitz.

The one above I experimented using only one ink (olive chalk), and gold colour spray from Twiddleybitz- and no house stamp this time and adding lots of reeds - i like it.

This one I wanted turbulent water, lots of reeds - and I use the olive ink but sprayed with bronz colour spray from twiddleybitz - i left it a bit long before blending the spray with my tissue so it's quite "beaded".

This time I wanted a turbulent sky and reeds with a pine tree in the foreground - sprayed with gold colour spray from Twiddleybitz to finish off.

And yep - It looks like i need to re-ink my stazon but it is 7 yrs old and been re-inked sooo many times, all the edging I do directly with my inkpad means it's about ready to retire - I really need another.

Thank you for stopping by  :-)

Look!!!

I found this while surfing a little today - I'd forgotten I'd done this!

Stampscapes ATC's

Well it is with great pleasure I introduce my latest work, drumroll please..... LOL only joking!

The lovely Lisa Kamphius inspired me to get my A into G and do some ATC's again!  I bought a stampscapes set at last year's October (?) Paperific and had not yet mounted them (I know - I'm a slacker!) so last night I located my magic mount and mounted them while watching tele.  I then of course had to get 'em dirty and try them out!  These are my efforts.  I hope you like them - go easy please, this is my first time with stampscapes!

The image above has olive chalk inkpad background on gloss card, - images stamped in black stazon ink, and a light spray of gold Twiddleybitz coloursprays over the top, i was please with the result so took a photo.

  The image now above is the same as the other only I (in true Jen style) could not leave it alone - I kinda accidently sprayed it with a touch of walnut - and liked the result so decided to spray again - only i picked up "poppy" (red) by mistake!   But - swirling it around with a paper towel gave me this effect - I rather like it!

The image directly above is my first two attempts with the stampscapes the one on the left was my first - and I looove how it turned out, a medley of 3 different chalk inkpads and a light spray of gold colour spray on top... the right image I sprayed wayyyyy too much fern colourspray on so it looks a little eerie/weird!

Anyhoo - I hope you like them!

Flowers!

Another idea for flower storage!

I cut a foam box lid to 10" square and covered in paper. The best way to cover the square is to use a spray adhesive as wet glues give that horrible lumpy appearance when it's dry. - finish off the edges with double sided tape and cover with ribbon if necessary.

I then arranged these Green Tara flowers on the square and stuck in some pins with the coloured balls on the end. I'll put this either on an easel on my desk or on the wall above. Easy access, visually nice and I know exactly what I've got and where they are!!



Some other ideas:
You could group your flowers in colour schemes and/or list the manufacturer and colour - if you need that info for submitting to mags. You could also use Karen Foster pins or similar, specifically for scrapping etc or put beads on yours or even dip the balled pins that I have used, in different coloured opals embossing enamels from Pipe Dreamink - any embossing powders should make a nice personal touch though!

if you 'follow' my blog and leave a comment for my 'flowers' entry - I have a prize pack to give away... here's a sneak peak.


This will start your own flower and TBZ collection and display:-) The winner will be drawn from a hat by my gorgeous kids.

Thanks for looking!

The New Alison Ellis Design release coming soon

I am super lucky to say that today I saw a preview of the new papers. Let me just say right off the bat - OMG!!

Now I know I say that every time there's a new range, but seriously OMG!! ;-)

These new designs are once again Very clever and super versatile, each one of the 6 tying in with the general theme but not exclusively to it IYKWIM. 3 colour schemes overlayed with silver or gold.

I am super keen to receive my pack so I can start playing and hopefully create some samples of the multitude of projects that can be created from these great Australian designed and manufactured products.

Thankyou goes out to Alison and Maynard of Alison Ellis Design for yet another brilliant range.

If you are a crafted, request them online or at your local scrap/stamp store. If you're a retailer or work in a scrap/stamp store, go to www.alisonellisdesign.com.au and sign up for the wholesale section. The new range will be available from the weekend of the Paperific craft show - 27th of August. Alison always has fantastic debut specials and package deals for each range (existing and new).

If you're visiting Paperific in Melbourne at the show grounds this year, please be sure to pop by the booth - check out the new range and have a play with it at our make n take table.

We will have AED glitter, sparkle and sprinkle stamps, flocking, hot set powder and the fabulous dual setting pink heat guns (in my honest opinion - no woman should be without one!) on show.

I will also be making quite a few ATC's this year to swap - give me a yell at the booth if you'd like to swap - or if you'd just like one to take home!!
