A stitching Challenge

This is a piece of cotton I painted years ago so I've turned it into an ATC with some mesh, beads and embroidery then I stamped the word Flora.
I'm using this for a summer ATC swap and the lots to do challenge
If you look at my last post you will see the Trapeze card I started while at Zoe's

Trapeze card

Oh look what Zoe had me doing now it's finished I do like it and might have to have another go lol I've coloured the center with a promarker and added faux stitching with an inkssential pen covered the holes with a peel off so you can't see my mistakes tehe and used colorbox chalk inks for the flowers. topped off with one of my hand made chipboard flower:)

ATC's for the stampman Swap

The theme is wings, sorry the colours don't show to well in the photo.
The Fairy is a wood mounted stamp but has no make on it and the flourishes are inkadinkado and the ink Kaleidacolor autumn leaves.
The bird cage ( creative expressions )is the shabby chic technique I've used lake mist and willow dabbers with some flowers cut with my silhouette and inked with Victorian Velvet.
Thought it would be nice to use a stampman stamp for the last one, a bit of a cross between shabby chic and Jacobs coat technique . I have really enjoyed making these :)

Lots to do Architecture challenge

This is my entry for the lots to do challenge Architecture, so think I'll send it as a birthday card to my friend in Austrailia as it's so nice and bright
The background is stamped with versamark and coloured with chalks and the building coloured with H20's

Acetate Flowers

After play about with the Tyvek I took to Zoe yesterday it occurred to me that acetate might do something similar so cut some flowers with Tim's die and blasted it with the heat gun ( not the heat resistant one ) and if your careful you can manipulate the petals


How neat are these :)
