Some inspiration pieces

Good evening ladies, sorry i haven't updated my blog recently.

So this post will have a few makes on it.

These are all inspiration samples i make for stamping with the dragon facebook group. I am part of the facebook group's dt and we all have our own day of the week where we show something we have made, do a pick of the day from the store, ask a question of the day and join in any fun that is going on with group.

For week commencing 14th October we were given folk art, i was given the buttons to create a sample with, here is my dt sample

I made an open book card and used the digi stamp Jiggys ipod as well.
Both digi stamps have been coloured with Noirs. I have added some candi to the card out of my stash.

For week commencing 21st October, we were given Balloons, this is my dt samples



These were a commision for a customer. These are memory boxes for a set of twins. I have also used Jiggys rattle, flowers, butterflies and bunting from my stash.

For week commencing 28th October we were given definitions - happy theme, i was given smile to play with.


I struggled with this sample, as i really didn't know what to make with it. So i have made a nice and simple card ( i think it looks really boring) but it's all about the wording.

Hope you like what i have created and hopefully see some of you over on the facebook group.

I decided to use digi stamp Rose Petal, i used the pre-coloured stamp.

I printed off 4 copies of the image and 
cut out different pieces of the image to decopage it up.


I love this image and for some reason i just thought of Christmas

New challenge over at Stamping with the Dragon

Good Morning,

Well it's time for a new challenge over at Stamping with the Dragon 

Challenge is 'Anything Altered'
 
I have loved this challenge as it has gave me something new to work on.

So the other week i was shopping in my local Rejects store and found these blank wooden B boxes on offer.
 So i grabbed 2 as i had something in mind straight away.
They sat for a few days then we got our info for the challenge and i thought why not use these for the challenge.

So here are my completed projects.

First up the blue one.







 This has been primed and painted with blue metallic acrylic paint. Then decorated with Jiggy in coloured crib. I have added Glossy Accents to highlight some of the detail. I cut the wording on my cricut machine. Added punched butterflies from my stash and add some gems for their bodies. The flowers are from Petal Lu and are just stunning.

Now for the pink one





This one is primed and painted with pink metallic acrylic paint. I have used Jiggys Hatchday for this one coloured with Spectrum Noirs and glossy accents. The wording has been cut on the cricut machine.

So now that you have seen my projects, i hope it has inspired you to have a go in the challenge.
So good luck.

Thanks for popping by.
 I look forward to reading your comments.
 Hugs Jo xxx
