The mammographer in me

I made this card for a Challenge at Simon Says Stamp using my favorite stamp. It must be the mammographer in me that makes this Rubbernecker Stamps stamp my favorite. I stamped the image on velvet paper and heat embossed it using Stampendous silver embossing powder and colored parts of the image with Copics and added Pearl pen accents.I used Core'dinations cardstock and dry embossed it with Sizzix ribbon plate and mounted it on MM paper.

Ta-Dah!

It's not so easy to stamps on or  to color on a cast.

Blank Canvas

It has been raining the last two days, so I haven't been able to garden. Ordinarily I wouldn't let a little rain stop me~but I am in a cast up to my knee. I partially tore some ligaments  in my foot.
Scary thought~I was thinking about adding some stamping to my cast. I really want to heat emboss on it but I don't want to waste embossing powder.

Challenge for Day 8 of the Tim Times Ten Grand Challenge at Stampin' Dymonz Creative Place
Your challenge today is to create a distressed tag. You must use a minimum of 3 colors of ink. You must use at least 1 image stamp and 1 sentiment stamp. You must color your sentiment stamp using two different ink colors and stamp -- this should be one press on the tag and not "stamp one color, clean stamp, stamp second color."

My inks are Distress Inks and Colorbok. My stamps are Rubbernecker and Inkadinkado. My butterfly embellie came from Michaels Dollar Spot.

Tim Times 10~Day 7 Challenge

Today is day 7 of Tim Times Ten Grand Giveaway  Challenge at Stampin Dymonz Creative Space.
 Today's challenge is  an acetate tag. The acetate must be dry embossed. It must be inked. Your tag must be two-layered, include an image, and you must use some type of "dimensional" product to embellish your image -- fun flock, flower soft, heat embossing, etc. The weather  is supposed to be cold in Baltimore today; therefore, your tag should depict a cold scene -- could be winter or fall and does not have to include snowmen/snow, just ensure you make a good representation of colder weather. The acetate should be from some packaging that you may have at your craft spot in order that you recycle the plastic and help prevent us from killing our own planet with non-biodegradable materials such as plastic...

My tag did not scan well at all and my son has my camera for the day.

For my acetate tag~ I used recycled clear x-ray film. I dry-embossed it using a cuttlebug folder and sanded the embossed image.I used Staz-On ink at the top, bottom and sides of the acetate tag. I colored the snowman with Bic Markers ans Highlighted some of the words with dimensional paint. I used Paper Studio paper for the 2nd layer.

Steampunk Tag~Stampin Dymonz challenge

I created this tag for "Tim Times Ten~Day 3 challenge at Stampin' Dymonz Creative Space.

The directions were to create a steampunk tag which incorporates the sponging and heat embossing techniques somewhere in the tag. Your design must incorporate a key, 3 arrows, and a pointing hand. At least one of the elements listed must be a metal embellishment and one stamped image must be manually (hand) cut out.

Tag sponged with Studio G orange Chalk Ink and then accented with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (fired brick). My pointed finger brad was colored with alcohol inks (lettuce and currant), covered with clear embossing powder and heat embossed. Two of my ballons were cut from Graphic 45 paper and the 3rd balloon was a Michaels stamp (stamped on Graphic 45 paper) and cut outMy Key (Graphic 45 paper) is on one of the balloons. .Arrows(red~Maya Road)(vellum/one way)(metal~Tim Holtz Game Spinner) Flower paper (Recollections) and brown twine were also used.

It's been quite a while since I've felt any spark of creativity until today.

I am soooo sad that I missed the 1st day of Stampin Dymonz "TIM TIMES TEN" challenge.

I made this tag for Day 2 Challenge "MASKING"

I used Distress inks on my tag and a Glimmer Mist mask. The Butterfly stamp is by Innovative Stamp Creations and the branches are from a set of Rubbernecker stamps.

I also used Glossy Accents and  bling from Hero Arts .
