What ? Never seen a diva before ?

Good morning bloggers - a bright sunny morning!

I thought I would try my hand at a challenge I have never entered before - Stampotique Designers Challenge - and the theme is vintage.  Now some challenges are more difficult to fill the criteria than others, and I think this is one of them, particularly as the only stamps allowed this time around are Stampotique. 

For the papers I used various pieces of clip art vintage papers, and I have coloured them with Distress Inks, and used a Stampotique sploge stamp on them as well.  My main image is Prom Queen, and I have used the Diva sentiment as well.   I have added a couple of die cut flowers, and a bit of lace coloured with distress inks.

DT Post - Lexi's Creations meets several challenges ...

The weekend seems to have flown by, and it is wet Monday again!!!  I image my dear BIL is going back to work today very unhappy - he is a golfer, and as his daughter lives virtually on top of Celtic Manor in Wales, she got him tickets for his birthday for the practice days and  match days for the Ryder Cup, and the majority of the time it has been totally awash down there.

So, Monday is also the day for Lexi's Creations, and the theme is Spooky. 

This week our Sponsor is the fabulous Joanna Sheen…

The winner will receive a £10 Voucher to spend in her Online Craft Shop.

I have used Vamp Girl from Lexi.  She has been coloured with copics, with some sparkle given to her Wings and Boots.  Don't you just love those holey stockings.  It certainly takes me back some years!

The orange wash background paper has been stamped with a spider, and just below the lace I have stamped a cat, which is trying to look a little scarey.  As I do not have a cobweb punch I used a lacy one to make it look a little webby, though I know it won''t fool most people.  My sentiment is computer generated, and I have added a flower from Prima, which has been in my stash for white a while. 

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Paper Sundaes #38 - Something from your stash - mine is lace, flower and gems..
Cowgirls Sunday Stampen' Challenge - Anything goes
The Crafty Pad Challenge #91 - Spooky
Gingerloft Challenge #3 - Glitter or Bling - I have both
I did it Creations Challenge 24 - Spooky Special
One Stitch at a Time Challenge 33 - Spooky Special
Stamp Scrap and Doodle Saturdays - Anything goes
Baby Bud Designs Challenge 1 -  Fall or Halloween
Sew Many Cards - Anything Goes

Sketch Saturday

Hi everybody

Now for something completely different. This is my entry for Sketch Saturday. The base card is covered in a grungy paper on which I have stamped and embossed a spider web. The backing to the image is irridescent silver card which I have embossed on the Cuttlebug, and then smothered in Alchohol Ink. I have done a stamp resist wth some grungy butterflies, covered in a variety of inks, and then stamped and embossed the image in silver. The inside has a repeat of the spider web, and ramdom patches of silver and a Cuttlebug skull & crossbones.

Recipe:

Stamps - Stampotique, Tim Holtz

Paper - DCWV - Rockstar
