Keep calm and craft - Day 2

From My Flow Keep Calm Daily Craft Book - Day 2 was to make your own stamp (out of an eraser or potato) and print a pattern.  I diverged slightly not wanting to use a potato and did not have a larger eraser and went for a background print created with an acrylic block and rubber bands. I then created a card.

Large acrylic block with rubber bands.  I did not mind that they twisted more texture.
Stamped with Ranger Distress Oxide inks (shabby shutters and wild honey) into a somewhat random pattern- the good thing is that you get to use both sides of the block.
This is the card I created with my background.  For the flowers I used Ranger Distress Oxide Ink - wilted violet and twisted citron, I firstly stamped and then sprayed water onto the image.  The flowers and die(Peony) and the with love die are all available from Kaszazz.
Now for the a good thing - wash your acrylic block with water, dry and then you are good to create with colours.  That is what I did with the wilted violet and twisted citron inks.
This is my book page and I will also add a photograph of the card I created.
Thanks for looking, Margaret

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
