Krisha: Midge in Lace

Once again I am using the NEW This N That Stamp Plate from Rogue Redhead Designs, and using Midge as the center image for a vintage style hanging. She was colored with Prisma colored pencils, even the background, then trimmed with a lace and pearl trim. The chip board base was covered with un-bleach muslin and stamped with the Behind the Scenes script stamp RRD012 in aged photo ink. Lay Claim to Your Fate was stamped in the lower corner with the same distressed ink. I placed Midge at an angle for a little more interest. Pearl swirls and lace trim were added at the bottom, a grunge flower in the corner, and a gold trim was used for the hanger.

Debi Ryan: Carnival Lovers

I'm sharing another card with you this week. I've made this for hubby- it's our anniversary next month. What could be more perfect than the lovers from Carnival Dreams,  it's romantic and quirky. I think this might be another of my All time fav stamps lol.

I've stamped the background using Behind the Scene stamps: script and the music notes.

I have stamped directly onto the Kraft cardstock and inked with Walnut ink, to get an aged look. The sentiment is from the Snow Hugs set.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Colleen Oxford: Dwell in the Possibility

RRD's new This N That is full of Fabulous images and Sentiments and as you can tell I couldn't wait to use them all :)

Stamped on a Tile, I used 3 shades of blue inks, the Sheet music and Bubblewrap background stamps from Behind the Scenes stamp plate and from This N That stamp plate-Midge, Birds, Clock and Sentiment.  I did stamp Midge and the Sentiment in black ink to stand out.

I had a Great time layering and am So happy with the outcome.

Head on over to Rogue Redhead Designs and check out this months special.

Barbara Washington: Just for You

Each time I get a new set of RRD stamps, I'm sure it's my all time favorite. That's how I feel about the stamp sets, This n That (image an sentiment) and Behind the Scenes (background), that I used on this card.
I used the 3D Shadows technique from Technique Junkies on the image panel. The birds are popped up over the shadow. For the background I used white ink to stamp  the bubblewrap stamp from the Behind the Scenes set. I added some bakers twine and some roses as embellishments. Have I mentioned that the current May Rebel Challenge is May Flowers? Join us by June 2, 2013 and share your art. There's a great prize too.
Don't forget to check out the specials available until the end of May.

Annette Goatley: 'Just for You Midge' and a Shrink !!

Hi, hope you are enjoying Sunday.  Thought I would use 'Midge' from the new 'This and That' half plate for a change instead of using those two fab birds...............

This time I stamped her on Distress Inks and layered her up on hearts which have been outlined in gold paint. The background is made from the acrylic squishings technique.  Other products used are Bead Gel and Stickles.  The 'Just for You' is on this half plate as well.

Oh No, you cry...........Midge has been shrunk............to tell you the truth she asked me to..........and this is how she ended up......... Painted and stamped on watercolour paper using the Floriculture plate with a little bit of my own art thrown into the mix.

Hope to see you again next Sunday and would like to know whether I should show 'Midge' again or 'Birds'. Just write in the comments below please as I just cannot make up my mind.................am such a ditherer.
Take care of yourselves, hugs Annette x

Helene Huber: Just a Little Bit

I was cleaning up my craft table when I came across a bit of tag left over from a project and a scrap of black card that had been cropped off. Those little bits and pieces come in handy for a quick note card.

The black card's fold is at the top.   This lovely flower is stamped with jet black Archival ink on top of the inked bit of tag and finished off with a bow.  (Ranger distress ink pads and Dylusions spray ink were used.)

Rogue Redhead Designs has many stamps that can be used for smaller projects.  This particular flower is from the Floriculture stamp plate.

Don't forget the current Rebel Challenge is May flowers!

Have a scrappy, crafty weekend!  Helene

Debi Ryan: Notecard Misses

For todays post I've made 4 notecards, with scraps of pretty patterned paper and the Misses from Milliner Misses and Midge from This N That.

I love Midge :-) She's bigger than the other Misses, which means she's easier to colour, and I love her wearing green.

The three Misses together are so elegant, I'm always wondering where they're off too.

Finally Pretty in Pink, this miss has a bit more sparkle than the others, which i added using glitter gel pens.

Have a great week, Debi x
