Distressed and spooky

Artful Times are all about distress this fortnight and Ali Craft are after your Halloween creations a perfect match, not that mine is anywhere near perfect.
I've used my new favourite, distress paints wrinkle free as you would for the inks


Also Tag Along, a haunted house

I can't believe how luck I was to see these toadstools on the grass just outside my house, it must be at least 40 years since I last took photos of some in a wood



 
Please feel free to save the photo's and use as you like
Have a good week all and thank you for popping by :)

Autumn tag

I love autumn not just for the glorious colours but for the fungi, yes I collect mushrooms and toadstools,wood ceramic glass you name I've probably one.
This tag started with the distress paint resist one of the tags from the first day of Tim's 102


 The colours I have used are bundled sage, mahogany, dried marigold and peacock, don't you just love the richness of the mahogany .
If you haven't noticed Artful Times want to see your autumn colours so you have just a couple of day left to enter

Almost tag 12

Whilst looking for some inspiration I decided to have a go at Tim's tag 12 but only  got half way through as I  then went off on a tangent and made a topper for a birthday card for a friend whose lost a lot of weight ( well done Karen)

 
Now it just so happens it fits into the Fashionable Stamping challenge ... use a stencil or mask
Thank you for taking the time to visit :)
Right  back to stalking my mail box waiting for the start of Tim's 102

Eat drink and be Merry

Eat drink and be merry that's the theme at Frilly and Funky and Forgotten things at Our Creative Corner
It all started with the background which was the result of a play with the distress paints, the tea cup stamp an old wood mounted  one from Docrafts cut out and stuck one with a little piece of lace to look like a doily



Hope this post ok as blogger is playing me up
Thank you for a great challenges ladies and thank you  for popping by :)

Autumnal Stripes

Mr mojo seems to be playing along with me at the moment, so with inspiration coming from Fun with ATC's stripes and Alie - Crafts autumn, as last night I was playing with the alcohol inks but more of that to come when it's finished as I went off on a tangent making this ATC lol

 
I just love the way the inks in the glossy card glow just like autumn on a sunny day
