Finger painting?

Hello Everyone! Happy Weekend! Oh yeah! Time for One layer finger painting at LIM Loads of giggles about this one here, I am inked!!!

Lovely idea I think, thanks Chrissie and the ladies at LIM, I have enjoyed playing...........using my little finger only in the end, I started with the top dot and turning my little finger on it's side, inked the droopy petals.

  

After I was happy with the flowers I drew the stems with Inktense pencils and rubbed them out again, too heavy :D Embossing with clear EP made the ink stable enough to add the circular background and the Donna Downey sentiment.

It's quite shiny now. Thank you again for your visit, hugs Gay x

Less is More Earth tones :D

Hi there my lovelies, Today I made a card for LIM the challenge is for Earth tones

 With this card I used a stencil by Stencil Girl S223 and a sentiment from Donna Downey. I have deliberately inked twice and off register to give a shadowing effect.

This card.... the stamp is from Bee Crafty and inspired by Banksi, sentiment by Bee Crafty,

Hello everyone! It's Magda. I'm back to work after my holidays but still have time for some relaxing. I'm sitting surrounded by books and magazines. Today I would like to ask you to use a newspaper or magazine in your project. It can be a small piece, some images from magazine to make a collage or you can use whole page as a background. Have fun!
