DE-STEMPELWINKEL NEW CHALLENGE AND DT BLOG POST

Rather late in the day,sorry,

we have a new challenge at

DE-STEMPELWINKEL STAMPERS CHALLENGE,

which is WINTER, 

you have 13 days to create anything you want using DE-STEMPELWINKEL stocked stamps.

I made 3 cards with the same stamp but varied the technique.

This one I stamped with weathered wood distress in then stamped

directly over the top with tumbled glass.

 This one was stamped in the same way onto wet card...

that gave it a very misty effect.... I then added just a touch of green distress ink to the trees.

 Finally I stamped the image just with salty ocean and ink distressed the

edges.

I hope you'll come and join in with our challenge...

SMUDGY ANTICS CHALLENGE WEEK#2

Good morning SMUDGY friends,

Its the start of week#2 of our ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE at
SMUDGY ANTICS.

Today I have simple altered note books to share with you.

You can buy these packs of coverless mini note pads from any of our pound stores,

add a unique cover then they become a cheap but very nice gift.

 I made a set of 5, using LOST DREAMS real rubber stamps.

 The stamps have a wonderful grungy feel to them so I had great fun colouring the backgrounds using purple, lime green and cyan pencils then just blending all together. Black ink around the edges, and a wipe clean clear plastic film over the top.... great little note books for your handbag...purse... for my American friends.

Well we've had one week of this months  ANYTHING GOES challenge .... don't forget you can enter more than once and we truly love the projects that other challenge blogs remove.... just make sure you use a SMEARED INK digi or real rubber stamp somewhere.

Have a happy Smudgy day. BDx
