Doodling on the iPad

Tuesday, 4 December 2012

I find I have to be in the mood to create ,and I can go for weeks without even looking at inks or paint, and sewing takes over. But then I find I have sudden inspiration and something else takes a turn. So it was the last couple of weeks I belong to a group of eight,all based in Europe and we swap journal pages. The plan is to send on the 15th of each month to one person, but I have sent to four in two weeks,the reason being I was in the mood ,and who knows when that will happen again.
These pages have gone to Italy and for some reason they all ended up as collage

I used Kanban stamps and my mystery stamps from QVC which I think may be 7Gypsies,and as you can see London is a little crooked .

I used embossing folders,Sizzix dies ,and also Crafty individuals stamps on this one.

I like to think this one is better in the flesh, I used Artemio stamps.
I also sent tags and ATCs

I was so pleased with this Tag,it is cut with the Tim Holtz Tag die from scrap cardboard,sprayed with Dylusions,and stamped with some of my favourite
http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ stamps, actually I love all their stamps. but the trees lend themselves to tags.

Another tag using Dylusions and http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ stamps.

Dylusions inks and

http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ stamp with Dylusions inks.

I love this stamp and yet again it is http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/
I kept it simple with archival ink and just clear embossed the wings.
and lastly a simple banner using Dylusions and buttons.

As you can see I am a great fan of Crafty Individuals and at the moment they have Mega Blog Candy up for grabs,it would be amazing to win this stash,

check it out at http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.co.uk/
Needless to say I will be entering.
On the subject of Crafty Individuals, I thought would be clever today and tried to print the Angel image onto fabric,It was not as successful as i would have liked ,but I will try again.

My plan was to free motion stitch the wings,but as you can see the image does not give enough definition, so I will try a different technique.
While the machine was out I made a cuff using the wonderful roses and lace that had been sent to me ,by my dear friend ReNae. http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/

The button and charm were also from ReNae.
As was this pendant

It is by Industrial Chic ,quite large and had layered papers inside,
as I was in the mood for altering ,I removed the papers
and cut coarse calico to replace it.
