more fabulous faces

there's one week remaining to play along with the "faces" challenge at tag tuesday. here are a few more faces tags i made for this challenge.

face stamp by invoke arts; sentiment by leavenworth jackson stamps. designer paper, butterfly brad and washi from my stash.

face stamp by technique junkies; sentiment stamp from viva las vegas stamps. butterfly is from lunagirl. washi from pipsticks, paper from stash.

face stamp from lost coast designs; sentiment stamp by penny black stamps. washi, border, flower, enamel dot, etc., from my stash of supplies. 

i stamped many more of my face stamps onto various book pages and designer papers but they didn't all make it onto tags. i'm sure they will turn up in future projects, stamped and ready to go!

love to all.

wings and words

silhouettes challenge at the cheerful stamp pad

we are working with silhouettes for the next two weeks at the cheerful stamp pad.  our challenge sponsor once again is stitchy bear digital stamps and the featured artist is floppy latte. join our challenge and make a creation featuring a silhouetted image and you'll have the chance of winning a prize from our sponsor.  here is my first inspiration piece for you.

thanks to our sponsor for providing digital images by floppy latte to our DT i had this lovely fairy silhouette to work with.  i sized it and printed the digital PNG file onto mystical paper by itKuPiLLi. i adhered this image to cardstock.  i stamped my sentiment by penny black onto another paper by itKuPiLLi.  i added a die cut from my stash for a border.

i hope you will join our challenge.  love to all.

thinking peach...

this piece is for a challenge at the drunken stampers challenge blog: "think peach for endometrial/uterine cancer month." 

unfortunately there are too many in my world who are receiving treatment for various cancers.  i will send this card to one such person.  the stamp sentiment here is from penny black and it is stamped on origami paper (with cranes, for hope)  the background butterfly paper was a free sample from dover publications.  

enjoy; love to all.
