Eye candy

Lots of creative blogs are offering us great eye candy, so I decided to dedicate an ATC to… eye candy:

Stamps/images used

• Tree, sun, kid: Dilly Beans
• Script: Darkroom Door

Friendly monsters

Lots of people find monsters scary, but to me they are not! I find them mostly funny and adorable and they make me SMILE!

I’m so glad that So Artful Challenges focuses on ‘friendly monsters’ this month. Here’s my ATC (the colours are a bit brighter in person, especially the neon pink):

I used stamps and spray inks by Dylusions.

I hope this friendly monster made you smile!

 

Humour

I love ATCs with a wink, so Stampotique Designers Challenge # 141 ‘Humour’ is right up my alley!

The quirky Stampotique images match really well with the funny sentiments by Dylusions, don’t you think?

I used Dylusions sprays, Derwent pencils, Distress stickles, silver embossing powder.

I’d also like to enter this atc into the ‘Anything goes’ challenge (#45) currently running at the Kreativer Bastel Blog.

Thanks for looking!

 

 

Jack Skellington

Some people find it hard to create masculine cards, but for me the opposite is actually true… I had lots of fun creating this masculine ATC featuring a big fan of Jack Skellington!

It’s my entry for:

• Stampotique Designer’s challenge: masculine
• Macabre Monday: SKULLDUGGERY. 

 

I used structure paste and distress inks to create the brick wall background and stamped (& altered) and coloured the images. The sentiment is computer generated.

Stamps used

• Smile: Stampotique
• Frame: Stamp Francisco
• Jack Skellington: Stamp It Crazy

 

St. Patrick’s day

I have a fondness for all things Celtic (that’s why I chose Aisling as a nickname), so I’ve been having great fun creating some ‘unusual’ ATCs for St. Patrick’s Day.

 

This is my entry for the following challenges:

• The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers: P is for Paddy
• Craftitude: Anything goes or add a little green

Thanks for looking! I hope these made you smile!

Cats have the simplest of taste

Here’s an ATC I’d like to enter into the following challenges:

• The Cheerful Stamp Pad: give me five
• ATCs and cards with attitude: anything goes
• Crazy Amigo: free theme

The background has been created using gesso and distress inks.

Stamps used

• Cat: Stampitcrazy
• Paws and sentiment: Scrolls Work

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Odd bird

Here’s my odd bird for the Three Muses.  As you can see, I took this challenge quite literally. 🙂

For my background I sponged several colours distress ink and and sprayed it with water.  The border was stamped with scraps of unmounted rubberstamps and highlighted using a white gelpen. For the bird I combined an Arstitic stamper bird, the legs of  Stampotique’s “Moth Fab” and a hat by Scrollswork. The words are by Stampcamp.
