Show Us Your Twinchies Challenge 3 # Bright Colours

Morning Fans... The new  "SHOW US YOUR TWINCHIES" challenge starts today.
Please pop over and have a look and join in. It's just a bit of fun.
A Twinchie is a 2" x 2" Square of  'Art'. Every two weeks we have a new theme to play with and this time the challenge is "Bright Colours"

I made all my twinchies with a bowl of water and some Marbling Paints.
So easy ...  Add some different coloured paints to the water ... swirl it around a bit, take some chip board and just dip in it and whip it out!  A work of Art ... Ta dah!

Thanks for looking today .... I've been busy with a Splodge Away Mat   over the last day or two.
Come back later to see how I got on .. oh yeah .. best bring yer shades, it's the  bright ones again!

Papermania Stamp for Rudolph Day!

Same card as before but different colours!

Afternoon  all,
Good news!  Lewis Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand Prix and we took the Silver Medal in one of the Ladies cycle races in the Olympics. Brilliant day so far if you forget about the thunder, lightning and heavy rain!

I made this card while watching all the sport and enjoyed every minute. It's my entry for THE ONE AND ONLY...  Rudolph Day Challenge.  Pop over to Sarn's blog and have a look.

I made this card just a few weeks ago but using different colours. I just love this stamp you will be seeing it again  I'm sure!

My crafty friend Gina was my inspiration for this card ... see her super blog Here!.
Gina loves F1 racing as well!
It's just a bit of fun and it's another Christmas Card done and dusted!

Thanks for looking at my blog today.
See you soon.

PanPastels and Studio 490 Stamps.

Yo ho Crafters,
 I'm looking forward to today because the F1 Racing is on soon and I'm really hooked regarding  the Olympics.
The opening ceremony was just spectacular.

I loved it all and felt very proud to be British. The section with HM The Queen and 007 was priceless and a great example of our very 'British' sense of humour.

I'm ready and waiting with my crafty table in front of the telly for today's 'action'!  

Here is my tag for this weeks PanPastle Challenge" Buttons and Bows or Schools Out". 

Choose either subject / theme to do. Come on, join in, you can use any medium so no need to worry if you haven't got any PanPastels.  Enter and you could WIN A TRIAL PACK from our fantastic sponsor!
 
Three shades of Green PanPastels blended over the background of a Canvas Tag and then stamped with Studio 490 stamps using Black Versafine Ink. A few 'Chit - Chat' words from Tim Holtz and some die cut flowers I have had for years. Result!

Have a look in the August copy of Papercraft Inspirations Magazine. There is a super feature about the PanPastels plus some great examples from the Design Team.

Thanks for popping by my blog today.
I'll see you again soon as I've been decorating some more of my Altered Art Dictionary pages and Sarn's Rudolph Day July Challenge. needs attending to as well!

Have a happy Sunday.

Circle Cluster Set by Ryn ...... and some news!

Rub-on Sentiment.

Yo ho everyone.
Just a quick post today as I have loads to do.... Keeps me out of trouble!
I've blended some distress inks onto this tag and then stamped with the super 'Circle Cluster Set'  Stamp from Designs by Ryn.

I added a few highlights with my White Gel Pen and plonked on a  Memory Box Butterfly die cut along with a few gems. That's  it then.... job done .

Base die-cut of the butterfly is also stamped with the circle image.

PanPastels and the Water Droplet Stamp # UK Summer 2012

Morning crafty mates.
I think this card says it all about our summer this year in the UK.

Next year it will be a sizzler. Always look on the bright side !

The Water Droplet Stamp I've used is from a super designer who lives in Canada.

If you are interested, I know the stamp is sold out at the time of writing  but you can find Ryn's Web Shop here . If you contact her she will, I am sure, let you know when it will be back in stock.

Off to do some more crafting as it's raining again... maybe my Monday is not so bad after all!

Have a good week and thanks for looking today
