ABC at SCD!

Last weeks metal theme got away from me so am pleased to be joining in this week at SCD where the theme is ABC



Background inked with DI SS and over stamped with TD.........Impress ink "chocolate" used to over stamp again with the Langnickel Abc and the PA numbers stamps........hand wrote alpha numeric and faux stitched with a copper pen and pricking around the edges......

and honest it is moo size.........the terracotta jug propping up the moo is a miniature only 3.5cm tall!!!
Thanks for looking.

Skull Sir?

I thought popped in my brain........as it does!....Well it does when I am not having a dry spell!!!......and now I can play along with the TGIF challenge this week which is "Skulls"..............
so, if you are of a nervous disposition........I'd look away now! LOL
Suits You Sir
Stamps on my ATC are Paperartsy and an oldie post card from my Royal Langnickel set......Skull from a Wikipedia file layered on top of the PA man.........hat cut from a vintage image of a circus poster........background various inks and shimmer spray...sorry made it a while back and can't remember what I used exactly! Wording from my computer and inked with DI SM and WS.
Thanks for the skull theme Sandie and thanks for looking......xoxo Sioux

Never Ending Circles

Over at SCD this week the theme is Circles in conjunction with the monthly moo challenge.........
I must have taken at least 20 shots of this moo before I got something that was in focus and looked "almost" as it does in real life!!........
It's a darn good job I don't have to pay for developing costs these days!!! LOL

I drew the digital "Mystic-Magical-Mystery" circle stamp you can see in the background using my Serif programme and printed it off using another digital image of one of my own tactile inked backgrounds...added a piece of stamped acetate with part of a clock showing.....cut out the butterflies and added a bit of stickles.....hand wrote "never ending story" down the side and aged the edges with DI WS.
Oh yes..........and the circle of yellow is a bit of chipboard covered with Adirondack acrylic.
Thanks for looking.........xoxo Sioux

Think My Moo's is Recovering!

Over at Something Completely Different this week the monthly challenge is to make Moo's whilst this weeks theme is the colour combo Black & Gold.
Since the make a moo challenge site stopped I have not made a single one........I am not an addict of them but find it interesting/frustrating to fit all I want to on such a small size!!! LOL

The sunburst lines are from a very large Inkadinkadoo Nativity stamp that was a RAK from Laura.......along with a variety of other goodies that has kick started the old muse................
Thanks again Laura :).........the word fly and the birdcage stamp images are the best bargain I have had in a long time....£1.49.........and there was another image on the sheet as well........thanks We are Memory Keepers........the bird is a free image from The Vintage Moth so thanks to Abbie.
The gold embossing does not seem to be showing up as much as I would like but hey ho! We can't have everything!
Thanks for looking
