free for all week at tando

this envelope was created using many of tando's great selection of masks/stencils.  i even used their chipboard arrows grab bag for masking.  my art friend, kaz, designed that dotted star stencil.  isn't it great?!  i'm sure tando has something you can't live with out...so why don't you head on over and check out their website and order something for yourself!

this week, over at the stampotique challenge , maria has asked us to create something with a wedding theme.

i decided to make a wedding card.  i used the stamp, in stiches,to create the background on blue card stock. i used the rubber stamp dandelion duo on the center of the large flower shape.  then i stamped the sentiment love travels and cut out only the word love to place on the tando chipboard bird that i painted.

this week at stampotique, the challenge was set up by me.  i love polka dots and circles, so i asked everyone to create something using polka dots.
i used a my stacked cup stamp, as well as my scooter girl, which was used to create the top border. i just inked the lower portion of the for the wheel section and stamped it repeatedly across the top of the envelope.  
i used paint pens to color in the stamped images to make my own patterning so i could add lots of dots.
i hope you have fun with this polka dot challange and decide to join in on the fun.  you can find all about the details by clicking the above link.  If you play you will have a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate towards Stampotique stamps, and really, who couldn't use more stamps?!

i used my rubber stamp, blessed skellie and the sentiment, when you love someone, to create this journal page.   i used paints, paper and markers in colors of purple, orange and yellow to create the background.    i also used shades of the same colors to paper layer on the stamped image.
