The challenge this month is---Take a previous prompt and re-create something new so I revisited last months -Stencils challenge and used three different stencil and oxide inks and just had a play.The Dragonfly stamp was a craft mag freebie years ago and I just doodled round the edges. I also have another negative background from cleaning the stencils too.This is my last post for this year so would like to wishing you all the best for a Happy New Year and thank you for all the comments you have left on my blog throughout the year.

Beautiful Iris

 Morning and I bought an AALL&Create Iris stamp that someone was selling on a FB decluttering page and couldn't wait to use it. I stamped it onto a smooshed background I found,then coloured it with promarkers,doodled round the borders and added a number strip from inside a kitchen roll.The strips of p.paper were cut from the front of a Paper Favourites pad and images were cut from same paper.The sentiment was also cut from a paper pad.I love iris flowers and had a lovely pale blue which has diappeared last couple of years but have a healthy patch of white ones which are absolutely years old.

Winter Wonderland

 Morning and I have two DT posts today, the first one is for the ATG/Favourite Colours challenge at Stamping Sensations and we are sponsored by Highlight Crafts. Four stamp sets with Two winners receiving two stamp sets.

 

 I stamped and embossed the Studio Light stamp and sentiment set I won at Allsorts in Oct,I stamped over a stencilled background but the image didn't really show so I lightly went over the design with distress ink and it showed up more.

Pink Baubles and Cats

 Morning and 1st of December can you believe-my DT post today is for the

"Non-Traditional Christmas Colours" challenge at Scrapping4fun, and this was another card using a technique from Tracy Evans. I die-cut a circle out of cardstock and used it like a stencil with distress inks.All stamps are from Pink Frog and Stampin up, Die-cut cats were from a set I bought on a FB decluttering page so no idea of the make-sorry.
