Awesome Chick

Humour is the theme at the Crafters Café this time.  Be sure to check out the inspiration from the design team and enter your work here: crafterscafe

This fabulous image is provided by Eureka.  Its called Bunch of Chicks (I have enlarged it and only used part of the image), find it here:  eureka-stamps

I like this image especially when you can have a bit of fun with it.

I printed on white cardstock, on printer paper and a small patch on patterned paper.  The printer paper I cut out and used as a mask to colour the chicks (negative mask), then used the positive mask for the sky and ground.  Because I used Distress inks, I also spritzed with water for a dappled effect, and coloured the combs and beaks with Copics.  I cut out the plaid chick and used 3D foam to adhere. The sentiment is heat embossed sky blue because I didn't want it to take over the picture.

Oops .. too many cookies

Crafters Café have a Christmas or red-green-white
 challenge this time.  I combined both and check out what the design team did, here:  crafterscafe














Eureka provided the image and have a shopful of wonderful artwork, here: santa-stuck-in-chimney-digital-stamp    Thanks Eureka!


I cut and coloured the image, and added fluffy Flocking to his suit trim.  The roof is made with punched layers and inked edges.   A tiny stamped bird with a touch of gold is watching and giving his opinion on the problem (circle punched and handwritten).  Stars are stencilled and a dusting of snow on the roof using glitter paste.

Wishful Mimi

There's feminine and feminine, this is my take on the new challenge at the Crafters Café, why don't you pop in and see us here: crafterscafe


This delightful image is courtesy of Eureka and I just love the look on the cat's face (it could be wishful, blissful, smug or is she having a power nap?).  I paperpieced her, and coloured her gorgeous bow.  Her bow and tiny heart have WoS.   I love that floral paper too and haven't got a clue where I got it - I have been hoarding the last piece in my stash for ages, but decided Mimi deserved it.

Eureka has lots of zany images:  mimi-kitty-digital-stamp
