paper smooches February designer challenge 3

Everybody need a little bit of glitter in their lives right?  So I decided to do something with a little bit of sparkle today...

The picture doesn't show it very well, but I die cut the star shape and covered it in silver glitter, using extra clear tape behind as adhesive.

The birdies are from the 'birthday buddies' set - and I just love 'em!  I'm not sure what the spotty paper is, but chances are is it's 'my minds eye'!

Hope you like x

Paper smooches February designer challenge 2

Well, you need something to see you through the long, dark, cold Brittish winter nights...and my paper smooches stamps have done just that for me.  I've lost many an hour recently...knee deep in paper smooches :)

This took sooooo long to do, but was loads of fun - it's all paper piecing ...although I didn't realise how tiny some bits were when I started haha!  Hope you like.

materials used = paper smooches stamps 'fruitastic'. various patterned cardstock. black archival ink.

Paper smooches February designer challenge

Well, how very typical...I build up the courage to start a blog and start entering challenges...and my laptop dies on me haha!  Nevermind, I'm back up and running now, and ready to play!!!

So, I guess it's pretty obvious already, but I am in love with all things 'Paper smooches'.  I just love their designs and don't seem to wanna play with anything else at the minute!  Perfect to cheer me up on these cold winter nights!!!

So here goes...my first effort...

It doesn't show up too good, but the circles are die cut with acetate behind them (the idea was to give the impression that the wee little fella was fleeing around in his hamster ball), with the image stamped onto white card, coloured with pro-markers and cut out, a bit of matting and layering to make the colours 'pop'...and that was that.  Hope you like it xxx

materials used = paper smooches 'party posse' stamps. various cardstock. black archival ink. various pro-markers.

So everytime I look at my 'paper smooches' stamps I can't help but wanna play!  They're just too lush!  There's only one place I can find in the U.K that supplies them so I'm very lucky that they have such a good selection and at such good value!

In anycase - here's today's efforts...
