Julia Spiri Stamps Challenge - Anything Goes

Good morning I have a fab challenge for you over at Julia Spiri Stamps.

Our theme this month is

ANYTHING GOES 

but if you like a challenge then we have a twist you can follow

No Square Cards

This is my last DT card for Julia as I am stepping down from the Design Team.

I have been having some health issues and have decided to cut back my DT work for the time being.

I have so enjoyed working with Julias images and would like to thank her for the chance to work with her images and herself and the Team. I am sure that i will be entering her challenge.

So here is my last card which I have made a Easel card in a Circle.

I have used Steampunk Fairy for this which I so love.

Checkout Julia's shop for lots more steampunk andso many other amazing images.

Ingredients

Steampunk Fairy coloured with promarkers

DP is papermania

Lace and ribbon from stash

Dies used Tonic & Tim Holts

Gliding Wak

Wooden Butterfly and flower

Metal Embellishments.

Please pop along to the challenge blog and checkout the rest of the amazing Samples done by the team.

Thanks for popping and if your on Facebook Julia has a fan page too.

Julia Spiri Stamps challenge - ATG with option

Good morning and a new month! 

Now this can only mean that it is time for a new challenge at Julia Spiri Stamps

As always our challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

but if you fancy a twist then like the Design Team 

Try a different colouring method

you are welcome to use other makes of stamps to join us but we would love you to use one of Julias

Most important is that you come and join us.

So here is my card using Little Gnome which is available from the shop HERE

I have used my Distressed Ink pads and coloured my image. I usually use them to shade my papers and card and do my ground work.

I didnt have any watercolour card that would go through my printer so used some smooth card.

Kept it CAS with just some faux stitching and matted onto some olive pearl card.

Some pearls in same colour and some trendy Twine I recently won.

Well what do you think.

lots more practice I think and some watercolour card 

Leave me a comment have you any tips do you use distressed inks.

So head on over and checkout what other methods the team have been playing with.

Remember this is a optional twist and our challenge is ANYTHING GOES

This is a view of the top of the box

This is a view from the side showing the black lace running around it

I have coloured my image with a mix of promarkers and Lyra rembrandt pencils.

I then went over the image with a clear embossing pad and added clear embossing powder and heated. repeated this process to give a gloss and protection.

 The hearts are tattered lace and Xcut with the same treatment but with a gold embossing powder.

The image is mounted on a Marriane die and a Spellbinders die. The gold lattise die is also a Spellbinders die. 

The box has been made with Centura pearl card. and Gold mirri card

 Embellished with Black lace Silver metal butterfly, Chain and a large Pearl
