I love this Hare stamp! I used a mask for the moon and watercoloured the background and the hare.I used Indigoblu's Luscious Pigment Powder in Raspberry for the flowers.
Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope you will visit again soon : )
I would like to enter this into the following challenges
Artistic Stamper Anything Goes
For this months challenge at Mixed Media Mojo I decided to create this simple little 6 x 6 chipboard mini book.
I used watercolours to go over the sea and waves and added some sand texture paste to the bottom of the cover to create the beach effect. When the sand was dry I painted over the top of it it with watercolours.I also glued some real shells onto the beach.
You may like to try a recipe by Tim Holtz to make your own sand. I don't have any of the products he used so I couldn't do it, but if you have those items you may like to give it a try as it looks interesting!
I stamped my sentiment over the sky in Archival ink, and finished the book by adding lots of threads and ribbons to the bookrings.
I heard some tweeting outside in my garden today, and when I looked out I saw a lovely little bird. I went outside to say hello, and what a surprise, he said he was visiting me from IndigoBlu and was inviting me to join their International Design Team! What a huge surprise! I very quickly said YES!
Thank you Indigo Blu, what an honour to be invited to work with such a talented and respected company. I look forward to working with the great Indigo Blu team, and I will do my very best to do their wonderful products justice!
I gave the birdie some bird friendly snacks and a drink, he happily played for a while in our small fairy fountain, before flying back to IndigoBlu.
I used the beautiiful Boadicia stamp set from IndigoBlu, and coloured her with watercolours. I have made something quite simple with no extras added, but I think it says so much.
Thank you so much for looking.
I would like to enter this stamp into the following challenges.

That's Crafty Feminine Challenge
I have been lucky enough to have been chosen for Designer for the Day in issue 97 of Papercrafter magazine.
If you would like to know how I made this card the details can be found in the magazine.
My 3D scene which I made with the lovely Indigo Blu Clumber Park stamps, was also in the magazine, which was a surprise.
There are lots of wonderful ideas in the magazine this month!
I love Phyllis Harris stamps, and this lovely little girl is another of her wonderful creations! I had a lot of fun creating a Summer Meadow for her to wander in. Craft Stamper have very kindly published it in there August edition, so the details about how I made her meadow can be found in there.
Let's hope the sun starts shining for real soon!
Do you have sets of chalks which you have not used for years? I know that I do.
I decided to get my old chalks out, and I tried something different.
I filled a basin full of cold water, and used a craft knife to gently scrape off some chalk from the block so it fell onto the water. If you are gentle the chalk will float beautifully.
I then lowered some white card onto to the water so it floated a little.
As this months theme is Fit For A Queen with a Twist of adding gems I decided to use the adorable Crowned Bunny stamp. I stamped her in Archival Black ink and used watercolour paints to give her some colour. A tiny gem star completed her crown nicely. A little fluff of flowersoft gave her a cute little bunny tail.
Join in this months Fun Challenge and create something Fit For A Queen.
