New Challenge site on the Block

 Woot Woot, That's Crafty have a challenge Blog and I am chuffed to pieces to be part of this new venture for Laura who owns That's crafty.

The first challenge starts today and there will be two every month. The first one opens with an Anything goes theme which is nice and easy to get us all going.

Do try and pop on over to the blog to enter the challenge and to show your support for Laura and the team in this new venture.

I have used Crafty Individuals rubber stamps on my make for the challenge including one of the latest release stamps Medieval Script, which is available to buy from That's Crafty HERE.

This is a keeper and is on my window sill as I love the bright colours of it, because as many of you know I have a Folksy shop (a link is in the side bar) where I sell some of the things I make, with some of the profit going to a charity of my choice at the end of each year, I do not often like my things enough to want to keep them, but I shall not be parting with this.

Hope you mange to join in with the challenge, Carol xx

Still time to enter the Crafty Individuals Challenge

The current challenge is open until the 28th February so there is still time to enter it. Full details can be seen on the blog . The theme is romance. I have made a coaster using a tile from a DIY store as my base.

My background is done with paint and ink and lots of rubber stamping between the layers including one of the new release stamps, Medieval Manuscript CI-406. The word Fly is a rub-on.

The full range of Crafty Individuals stamps can be seen in the shop

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day, Carol Xx

Stampotique Challenge - Put a Heart In Your Art - SDC133

The theme at Stampotique Designers Challenge  this week has been chosen by Jackie, and she has asked us to include a heart in our art, and this is her inspiration for the challenge.

"In Ancient Rome 13, 14 and 15th of February were celebrated as Lupercalia, a pagan fertility festival. By the mid 18th century, the passing of love notes had become popular in England, precursor to the St Valentines Day card as we know it today. Early cards were made of paper and lace. By the 19th century they became so popular that factories started to mass- produce them. 

So as the 14th approaches it's time for you to put a heart in our Art and then show us what you have made.

I am looking forward to seeing all the different ways you add a heart to your art!"

I have used a ceramic wall tile as my base for my Coaster, nothing special, just a basic tile that you can find in any DIY store.

I have stamped directly onto the tile, masking as necessary and then coloured it with acrylic paints, sealing it with a waterproof medium when finished. I usually solder around the edges when I make coaster tiles as I like to fill them with resin. But I saw some that Lynne had made and I thought I would give them a go like this for a change.

I used the following stamps

Heart Boy

Daniel's Hearts

Love word from word Collage

Stampotique Rubber Stamps are available to buy from Stampotique originals .
