CCC#35 Design Details

Can not believe that this is the 35th challenge! I definitely feel that this has added color and fun to my life, so I applied that to my design details. If you are looking at this wondering what the details are, well I attempted to carry the tiny attacher staples throughout. Staples were used to attached the peeled paper and to create a stem for the 'live' flower. So much fun, I'm wondering what's in store next at Linda's Studio L3, she is such gracious and inspiring host!

DDrunken Stamper's Challenge #56 - Rhinestone Cowgirl-y

This week's Drunken Stamper's Challenge is Rhinestone Cowgirl-y. Well, since I'm in the west I am equipped with the appropriate barrage of western themed stamps. I love Sadie and her saloon from Art Impression's. And I decided her saloon could use some sparkle-y studs. What woman couldn't!

CCC#34 Dimensional Collage Fragments

I kept it simple so that the fragments get center-stage. Somehow I thought I was going overboard with a game theme, but looking at it now I don't see many game pieces, the mind plays tricks! See how I full circled back around to games? Anyhow head on over to Linda's Studio L3 and play along!

Oui Oui, Paris!

Ah Paris! I love all things Paris related. If you do too, go to Hels Sunday Stamper blog and join in. I used this great stamp from Stampers Anonymous on a mono-print alcohol ink background of DI's in concord, shabby shutters, and gold. There is more color than shows up the photo, so use your imagination, visualizing a golden Paris sky surrounding Le Magnifque Eiffel Tower. I've got a sudden craving for a croissant, right after I find my beret, Bon Jour, (I took spanish, so I'm winging le french).

CCC#33 Altered Metal with Alcohol Inks

I love this stamp from the 'Queen's Dresser Drawers', just a little plug, she's got a lot of great stamps. I used a metal star for this weeks technique, check out the how to in the CCC manual. This was simple and fun. I think the colored metal adds a nice coordinating detail, so I will be keeping this one in mind too. Mosey on yonder to Linda's Studio L3 and All Things Tim, for some samples that'll knock yer socks off!

CCC#32 Masking and Stamping

Maybe I should have rotated the image but you can obviously use your imagination, or you wouldn't be poking around here right? Masking is something I used often when I first started stamping. I thought that it was sortof high tech in the stamping world and I love tech gadgets, no matter what the subject. This is one of those gone wrong tags left from distress embossing weeks ago, but I figured out how to make it work for this week. I masked the car and I also split up the sentiment stamp into two locations, tricky huh. What fun after a long day at the office! Checkout everybody else's fun over at Linda's Studio L3.

You're not the Em-Boss of me.....

Simon Says Stamp and Show challenges us to emboss. I used the beautiful Tim Holtz Flourish texture fade on deep purple paper, simply mounted on a green patterned paper, layered onto a lighter purple, with a purple satin bow on top.
