Words over at That Craft Place Challenge

Hello there,

Well it has been said that I'm never short of words! so this fortnight's challenge over at That Craft Place Challenge should be a doddle! lol So with the theme of Words, I decided to team it up with a brand new release digi stamp, a new edition to the Bubbles range at That Craft Place Etsy store

I have used:
Papermainia Paper for the backing and black card stock, twine to make this 7x7 card and I have made sure that all of the over-hangs (top tip again lol) don't excede 8x8 so it fits in a standard 8x8 envelope :D
Pop over to That Craft Place Facebook Page to see all the goodies they have for your crafty stash or visit their bricks and mortar shop.
Before printing, I added a background in Craft Artist 2, I made this one using stencils within the program from Daisy Trail

I have coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers:
Skin: FS2, 4, 9, TN3, CR3
Hair: EB2, 5, 7
Clothes: IG1, 2. CR1, 2, 3

And finally added the wording, cut using the 1" Contemporary Alphabet die's (upper and lower case) by Crafters Companion, and don't forget that That Craft Place also stock Crafter's Companion products :D superb! xxx

Here's a couple more pics:

Not happy with his face! blending went a bit (more than a bit) wrong!
But in the spirit of a warts and all blog, I wanted to show you all :D
We learn every time we create xxx

Thank you so much for stopping by and we hope to see you this fortnight in the That Craft Place Challenge

Crafty hugs

Genie-ous!

Hello again,

It's showcase time!

From the totally epic ranges of digital stamps by Tamara van Wijk, its hard to choose what to showcase but I thought I'd introduce a newbie!

You all know that the new shop is Slinky Tart for the fabulous Slinkies...BUT did you know there is now a spin off range with their own shop called Spunky Tart! It is here you will find some non-Slinky-fied ladies and a gorgeous range of digital paper packs.

To showcase the new range, here is Yes Master!

Here's the how's and what's:
Yes Master! digital stamp by Slinky Tart, coloured in Copic's
Backing - made on the pc using Serif Craft Artist 2 with digital stamps CD
Card - Black card, coordinations card, lace and embellies from my stash

The bottles are from a digital stamp kit for Craft Artist 2, available from the Daisy Store (it was on sale lol). I printed them twice, with the top layer before printing covered in a semi-transparent crackle paint. TOP TIP: I cut them out then set about rolling the large ball embossing tool over the back of the top bottle. This rounded it and distressed it. It was then given a generous helping of Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Wax and then layered on.
The rest is matting and layering, and then I added the lace...my tip is to do this, then decide on and add your embellies! You will know what areas you have to work with and what might nestle together in a certain place. Don't try to pre-plan too much!

Here's the close ups:
