Triple Treat

My blog friend Anne had an amazing Triple Time card on her Flickr photostream.  She made it for Daria's challenge here at 2peas.  Daria has a link to a video by Dawn Olchefske   that shows the technique.   Anne's and Daria's challenge inspired me to have a go

As soon as I saw the technique I thought of this Hero Art stamp

 I cut my card and inked up the stamp with Peeled Paint distress ink and then used used some Pine Needles to highlight the butterflies.  I matted them onto the green card.  Added some bakers twine, some gems and a button.   I have added this to Daria's challenge over at 2peas.

I must also let you know that over at Die Cut Diva's blog Miss Hannah has a video that talks about the different sandwiches for using with different dies.  Well done Miss Hannah on your excellent video.  Do pop over and have a look.  DCD's have re-vamp our blog and challenges.   Have a look at this months challenge  here .   And look out for some special sponsors coming up over the next little while.  We are working on getting some more sponsors, so if you know anyone who would like sponsor us... do let me or the others know.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Oops ~ a card for 2 Peas Stamptoberfest

Over at 2 Peas October is "Stamptoberfest" with lots of challenges ( here is the Master List) I did a card that I was able to enter into two of the challenges
Water and Ink ~ to use ink as a colouring medium and
Distress - don't stress ~ to use distress inks on your card.

I started with the Magenta stamp and  coloured with various distress inks then spritzed it with Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz.  When it dried I put it through my printer to print the Oops.  But it didn't go through straight... so the oops is on an angle... adds to the card I think...

Also entered into  Cute Card Thursday's  ~Animal Crackers.  I think I might try and find a frame and use this for a piece of artwork.

Just finishing this off and off to enjoy a beautiful Spring day here in Auckland.  A bit breezy, but the sun is shinning and the umbrella is now up on the deck table... so summer is on it's way.

Hope your weekend is going well....

Cheers

Dawn
