blue butterflies

I used the lids of some pens and glue bottles to ink up and create the circles, a few stamps and a very gentle ombre colour to create this one layer card.

 Allsorts challenge week 617/8 AG with monochrome.

A thundery sky

 I spent so much time adding bits here and there I don't really see how I can add a sentiment. The stamp is from MFT "flower silhouettes" it has 10 stamps and they are all lovely. I used 5 on this card.

Light and shade

I did a mix of stamps to create this card-  I think it could be used for a few occasions - male birthday - retirement of even a sympathy card. I don't do the blending thing very often as I don't have the right inks or blending tools but with a little masking and lots of shading it's not too shabby.

 I used washi tape to mask and  create the white border. This is the first time I have used this stamp set and boy was it stuck down hard to the backing acetate, I had to pull really hard and in doing so ripped off one of the flying geese ,there should be 5 in the moonlight.
 

Allsorts challenge week 615 - a stamped image 

autumn leaves or christmas holly

I love this image from Beccy's place but I don't just want to use it for christmas and I think using this colour combo works just fine .I used the lightest grey from the ProMarkers neutrals  and AquaMarkers using the red ,orange and yellow. 

We've had a few miserable days so the pic quality is not brilliant , the dark paper strip has  flourish design in a slightly darker shade. I found a tiny stamp to add the pattern on the vase.

I love ProMarkers -  challenge 430 AG with pretty papers.
 

simple stem but which way ?

I've stamped this coming upwards but should it be sideways as a branch ? I have no idea.I used yellow watercolour pencils and grey marker pens -  the background paper is from 'pink paislee'.
