Haunted Design House - Pleasure and Pain

This week at Haunted Design House you are to incorporate something you love with something you hate.  Well for me this one was easy.  I LOVE rubber stamping but I HATE rubber stamping.  I am just no darn good at it no matter how I try.  Everybody tells me little hints and tips and they never work.  You will see in this pick there are bits I have had to go over with pen cos I stamped it like ten times and didn't get one decent image.

On this I used a canvas for the backing some coodinations for the first card then a little stack for the image being stamped on.  I coloured the stamp with tim holtz distress reinker weathered wood I think.  I adorned this with Creepy Glowbugg's fabulous skulls and brains and some ribbon she sent me a while back and bob's your uncle.

Haunted Design House and Kraftin Kimmie Challenge

This is my entry for Haunted Design House challenge (horrific haunts) and the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge (mostly black and white).  I love this Kraftin Kimmie Stamp it is the Marie Antoinette so any chance I get I use her even though my stamping always leaves a blank spot and I have to try and cover it up.  I coloured her with copics and promarkers as I have various greys in each.  I put some tulle behind the haunted house image (which I got in a toiletry set and kept).  The card is coordinations black cardstock and I distressed (haha use that word lightly as I am a joke at that) I added a little ghost to the side of the house, Marie might look like she is happy but she is a poor little thing that has never got over the loss of her one true love (the cat!).  I used papermania brads to attach the ribbon for a little wall hanging or door hanging.  I also attached a flower at the top to hide the nail (how charming).

Anyway, signing out to go and check out some blogs to see all the delights that they may behold.

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge #44

I love Kraftin Kimmie stamps and I have had this one for a while. It is so my little girl she is the angry ballerina hehe. Well she got a pin board (without the pins just ribbons) from her big cousing today and she had nothing to put in it so I decided that this was the ideal opportunity to enter the kraftin kimmie challenge and made this for her.

I coloured her with copics and promarkers.  Used some different cardstock (obviously) and added some lace type ribbon and a diva brad (my little one is such a diva hehe).  I know the layers of paper are a bit basic but I really am so bad at distressing as you can see by the first frame. 

This is the pinboard that she was given, so I have started her off on her road to clutter hehe.
