Pop Art inspired

I found a bit of time this morning to craft so I made a card for the very sketchy challenge on the Smeared and Smudged forum.

The papers I have used are all Bazzil, the face stamp is from smeared ink's Prints rubber set and the splotches from their iny dreams rubber set. Both can be found in the Smeared Ink rubber club here. the other stamp that I have used on there is a Tim Holtx one.


There are many fun challenges on the forum so be sure to drop by and have a look :)

Also there is still time to get your entries in for the alter a box challenge at Smudgy antics http://smudgyantics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/alter-box-with-smudgy-antics-and-sad.html

Lace with Delicious Doodles

For a last minute make I am really pleased with how this turned out. I coloured in the gorgeous steampunk Sally in with watercolour pencils ages ago and she has been sitting in a box waiting for the right project to come along. I thought there is no better time to use her than on a lace card for the new Delicious Doodles challenge. 

All of the bits and pieces I have used on this card have come from my stash apart. 

I do hope you will come and join us in this weeks challenge.

I have made something a bit different for this hop, the theme is anything goes so I thought what shall I make? Should I do something I've done before and I'm comfortable making? should I keep it simple? or should I do somethin totally out of my comfort zone and that I have never made before? and should I decide to do that just the day before the hop?

Of course you just know I did lol!

I got my sewing machine out and I made me a bag/pouch to keep my markers in when I am on the move.

I started with a piece of fabric from my massive fabric box, I used the sewing maching to put it together so it sort of resembled a bag. The stitches are terrible, not only can't I not cut a straight line I can't sew in one either! When I had stitched it all I added some lace and the fabric flower which is a broach that I made a while ago. Although my stitches aren't exactly pretty they are doing their job and holding the whole thing together nicely. To finish it off I coloured in the Rusalka stamp from smeared ink and stuck it to the front with a bit of lace to frame it.

I do hope you will check out what everyone else has made for this hop.
