hummingbird

 a card to share today using the hummingbird image from A vase full of love by Chocolate Baroque.  The stamps was inked with distress oxide pads in salvaged patina and wilted violet and spritzed with water before stamping. Normally I would have overstamped in grey ink to add definition , but this time I decided to leave it as it was - I really liked the pastel effect

adding this to the following challenges

we love stamping - anything stamped

allsorts - anything goes (option of wings)

stamping sensations - anything stamped

timeless

 The saying that older you get the faster time flies is defintely true - at least for me! I meant to add this after the February 3 shows by Chocolate Baroque on Create and craft tv,  and just got round to doing it ...........

This 8x8 card uses a black mount stamped with the dandelion heads from an older set  fragrant honeysuckle and embossed in white and the main image from timeless stamped onto a jigsaw card piece. The jigsaw was partly completed and the remaining pieces scattered about.

adding this to the following challenges

moving alongwith the times - #151 numbers (bit of a stretch, I know, but plenty on the clock                                                            faces!)

through the purple haze- #201 anything goes

creative fingers - #24 always anythng goes

imagination

 Really loved playing with these  stamps from Chocolate Baroque and usiing up a brusho background from my stash at the same time was a bonus!  The background was one of those mop-up pieces that didn't work at the time,. but the drippy effect just fitted this time.

The capital letters were from just useful, but I separated the letters and stamped  them fairly randomly , then outlined them with a fine line pen. The sentiment is from loud and proud, which isn't on the Chocolate Baroque website yet, but is available from Create and Craft

I would like to enter this for the following challenges

lets craft and create - use sentiment

if you give a crafter a cookie - use mainly orange
