Lighthouse Postcard
 
This postcard is for 2 challenges this time.
Stampotique: SDC 144: Postcard and Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge: Big Stamp
For this card I've used a Rangers Big & Juicy ink pad and a brayer, 
I've used VersaMark with Stampendous white embossing powder for the lighthouse scene (from Michael Powell) and VersaFine for the quote and the postmark (both from Crafty Individuals).
Also a white Posca pen and a black Pen-touch for the border.

 

Less Is More: Sketch
 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 169.
The Challenge this week is a sketch (see below).
  I've used Distress ink and clear embossing powder for the leafs (Craft Stamper) and the sentiment (Creative Expressions). For the aperture I used some cutting dies and glued patterned paper behind it.

Craft Hoarders Anonymous - Challenge 6

This card is for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 6. 
The Challenge theme is a sketh with a twist. The twist is to use something old and something new.The sketch looks like this:

I've used different Distress Inks for the sections. 
The quote stamp is from PaperArtsy. I don't know where the swirl stamp is from though. 
Everything I've used is quite old, however the owl tape is new and I love it :)

 

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

For the new Craft Barn Challenge I decided to make a page for my Art Journal. 
The Challenge is to use the words HURT and/or KNOWLEDGE in a quote or lyric.
 I choose the quote: "Laugh until your cheeks hurt".
The background is a mix of different acrylic paints and I've used a couple of vintage images. 

Craft-Room Challenge - Dance

I've made this matchbox for a swap at one of my Yahoo groups and thought this would fit the Craft-Room Challenge quite good as well.
The Challenge theme is Dance.
For the matchbox I've used Distress Inks and the paper and the images are from Crafty Individuals. 
The backgrounds for the little tags are made with 3 different Distress Inks and VersaFine. 
The Stamps are from Stampendous called "Mini Music". 
The dancers are from my vintage images collection.

Less Is More: Makes me smile!

Happy Easter everyone. 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 168 Recipe.
The Challenge is Makes me smile!

There are a couple of things why this card makes me happy: 
First the colour combination and I just love heat embossing. 
The stamp is from PaperArtsy and is one of my favourites. Looking at this cute cat just makes me smile and reminds me of the cat we had when I was a kid.
It's maybe a bit hard to read on the scan, but the quote says: "You know you love me" :)
 
 For this card I've used a Rangers Big & Juicy ink pad and a brayer, Cosmic Shimmer gold embossing powder and Candi.

I'm afraid the gold embossing is not easy to spot on the scan. I've added a
larger image of the cat and hope it's easier to see.

 

Artful Times: Spray Away

This ATC is for the Artful Times Challenge 53.
The Challenge theme is Spray Away.
For the background I've glued mixed herbs to the ATC, let is dry and added acrylic paints. 
The moos and inchies are sprayed with Dylusion inks and stamped with swirl stamps using VersaFine inks.
The butterfly images are from Crafty Individuals.
