Oh I have been bad

Can't think why I have beenso long in posting, well except for the 200lbs of marmalade I made lol So here's a quick catch up on what I had started for swaps the Tim holtz style tags and the Nick Bantock postcards .
Be back soon :)

Nick Bantock

This is the first of 5 postcards made for a swap taking inspiration from the Griffin and Sabine books, mail art. I also thought it would make a good contribution to the lots to do challenge Travel

Lots todo winter challenge

Made for a friends birthday it's stamped in black archival and then coloured with distress ink, I then used a paint brush with water to lift out some of the colour and make the image look more wintery .
Thanks for looking :)

Happy new Year

Happy New Year to all who visit here :)

Now that Christmas is over my mojo has returned and I've been a busy bee :).

A member of Stampers Uk asked some while ago if I could send her some images I have of a hooded man in the woods well after some time I got round to it and while stamping them out was inspired to make another atc with the image.

I used an Adirondack ink pad stained glass, spritzed it with gold perfect pearls which caused the ink to bleed and split once dry I added more colour with chalk .

Available for swapping :)

Tim style Tags

The first 3 of 6 tags for a swap. I must admit I am finding it hard to do them in landscape which was stipulated in the swap as they are going to be turned into a book by Ali the host

I have taken my inspiration from some of the 12 tags for Christmas over the last 3 years

Fairies

The topper on this card started out as an atc for part of a fairy swap I liked it so much I made another to put on this card the backgound is the wrinkle free techique with peeled paint distress ink .
