The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge
New Craft Barn prompts for April. They are BLUE and UMBRELLAS.
I've
started with the background and added different blue Distress Inks on it. Then I used a brush and spritzed water all over it to create raindrop stains. After that I added the stitch border.
For the tag I used Distress Inks again, added the border and stamped the circles. The main image is from Tim Holtz stamped with VersaFine and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the same DIs as for the tag and added the red ribbon. Then adhered everything to the background. Sorry for the slightly wonky scan, it's a bit too early in the morning :)

Less Is More: Combine any three previous Less is More challenges
Here's a new card for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 217.
The Challenge this week: Combine any three previous LiM challenges.
I had to make a birthday card for my Brother-in-Law so I went for the following challenges:
Week 18: Monochrome
Week 111: Frame it!
Week 159: Masculine
I coloured a Tim Holtz car embossing folder with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and embossed a piece of white cardstock with my Cuttlebug. I added then Antique Linen and Old Paper DIs to the embossed car and die cutted the whole piece. After that I've used some Walnut Stain DI for the edges of that piece.
Then I stamped the border with Walnut Stain and the sentiment with Brushed Corduroy. I hope he likes it :)

The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge
The Craft Barn prompts for February are RED and HEARTS.
I used Distress Inks for the background and stamped the script and hearts on it with VersaMark. After that I stamped the quote on another cardboard and cut it out. Then I glued the image of the smiling woman and the quote on the background and added another cut out heart. Finally I used a Gelly Roll Pens for some highlights.

Journal 52 - Week 4
I'm still working on the conversation (week 3) page, however I have finished the page for Week 4 at Journal 52. The prompt this week is to incorporate a silhouette.
For the background I've used several Distress Inks sprayed with water. For the sihouette I've used black VersaFine and scribbled some text on it, outlined with white Posca Pen. Then I added some pen stamps at one side of the page.
The words are from a stencil as well. Added some Washi Tape and draw a white border around the page.
Looking forward to next weeks prompt.
Thanks for looking.
The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge
It's the penultimate challenge at the Craft Barn already. The challenge this time is to use the words HEART and/or RISK in a quote or lyric.
I finally was able to use a song of one of my all time favourite bands: INTERPOL. The song is called "Slow Hands" and the lyrics are: "Can you see what you've done to my heart? And Soul? This is a wasteland now"
I've made a mistake with the lyrics on my page, but hey...I left it like it is. :)
For the background I've used a wash of different Distress inks. I've made a heart template and used Grunge Paste mixed with silver/grey acrylic paint with it. After it dried I've added some spiderweb stamps and sticked the hands on. I recently bought the Stampotique girl and thought she is just perfect for this project. So she went on in the middle of the heart. I drew a border around the page, wrote the lyrics around the heart and added some more spiderwebs.
The stamps I've used are from Stampotique and Tim Holtz.
Looking forward to see what everybody else did. So will pop over to the Craft Barn blog now.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my journey page. Very much appreciated.

Tag Along - Tag #40

I've used a Tim Holtz clock mask and Distress inks for the background. The wings are made from grungeboard and I've added a real clock face to it. Also added some vellum and the stamped quote.
Thanks for looking.
