Craft a Scene

By
I had my attention brought to a new challenge blog this week - thank you Fliss, it's called Craft a Scene.
I love creating scenes and have made many both with my brayer and sponging. Today's card was sponged using ripped copy paper, a post-it-note and one of my own design stamps.
I used Stampin' Up inks - Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Garden Green and Handsome Hunter - here it is



I'm really pleased with how this turned out especially as it is a one layer card - I went ahead and inked and stamped directly onto my card base, very risky I know!!
The whole scene has been outlined by hand with a black fine liner pen.
The challenge this time is 'Anything Goes' and I'm so looking forward to what the design team come up with for us in the coming weeks - you should hop over and take a look - the sample cards are superb.
I'm off now - my craft room looks like a bombs hit it and I really don't feel like tidying it at the moment and I am banned from crafting in the living room as I make too much mess ..............will have to take over the dinning room instead mwahahahaha!!

    So glad you decided to join in Jacqueline and your card is a real stunner. The inky effects are just beautiful and the whole card is so serene.
    A word of warning about the dining room as this is where I have to craft not having a craft room. I have to clear it up every evening so we can eat which can be a real nuisance!
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    WOW! This is a stunning scene and I love the shadows of the trees on the ground. Well done for being brave enough to stamp straight to the card. I wouldn't have been!!

    That card is beautifully done, with all the shading to ground the trees. There is so much work in there. xx Maggie

    Just love the card Jacqueline. It is wonderful to be able to do all the stamping and designing right on the base card. Your scene really has nice depth and I think I have climbed that mountain before. Haha!
    Thanks for joining us at Craft a Scene. I hope to come back and play with us again. NancyD

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
