For this months new challenge I have decided to do a project that my very good friend will be happy about!!...candles!!..she is obsessed with buying candles, so I thought I would decorate one for her and give it to her as a present. I stamped some circles from the DECAY JOURNALING stamp set, then more stamping from the GRID BACKGROUND and the CALLIGRAPHY MAT 12 stamps.

i then spritzed it with different inks and then transferred this to my candle using wax paper. I love it and will be doing more for presents.

Hello everyone, Titbelsoeur here with a Home-sweet-home card for you !
You know how I love Architecture stamps, mostly door ones. And I also love the Harlequin Backgrounds stamp from the Mini Backgrounds # 2 size A6 plate, I have then used 2 of my favourite stamps to make this card. I have stamped Harlequin with Distress ink that I have spritzed with water to have this watercolour effect. And I have painted the door with watercolours. Home Sweet Home A5 © Kathleen Fullman as a sentiment, some black pen lines on the edges... Et voilà !

I will be happy to read your comments about it !

Hello, I'm Karen and I feel so honored to have been asked to contribute to this months challenge reveal post.  The July theme, "In the Home" seems so fitting as most of us have been isolating at home due to the pandemic.   Hopefully, my bright little neighborhood card will lift your spirits just a little.  Good Luck & Happy Crafting!

Directions:

To create more layers for added dimension, separate the roof and chimney from the house and mount with foam tape.   Next, use a craft knife to slice around the door so that it opens and hinges on one side.  By selectively cutting into the spiral rose background design, I carefully cut a shape to resemble a cloud and a single rose stamped in yellow for the sun. 

Supplies:
ink pads (black, shades of blue, yellow)
watercolor paper
water mister
watercolor crayons
paint brush
craft knife
permanent black marker
black card base (5x7")

Tracy Scott Background 8 spiral rose background

This is my 11th postcard of the year, in my postcard challenge, and this time in the theme of mixing it up , I layered on loads of PaperArtsy Fresco paints, using a brayer. There are at least 9 colours! I then added a Lesley Ivy stencil with 2 more colours. I love Tim Holtz's Paper Dolls, especially the dancer... Add some of his wings, and she is learning to Fly......

I stamped Lesley's Ivy stamp with wild honey, rusty hinge, fired brick and Peeled Paint Distress Ink.  To create the overlapping i masked over each image.  I used the Decay Upper Case Alphabet in the same colours, cut out some more leaves and used Peeled Paint distress ink for the background.

Gemma 

After blending Distress Crayons over my background, I added interest by placing the petal mask over the top. Over that I stamped with different Artistic Stamper stamps including the leaves from the  Dog Rose

Jennie 

I decorated a mirror with lots of die cut leaves, our Skeleton leaf stamps, Tit Belsoeur's Mushrooms. I used Cosmic Shimmer's Gilding Polish to colour the mirror, and stamped with Archivals.

Titbelsoeur

The support of my project is a soda can I have crushed and colored with alcohol inks.

Then I have sticked 3 times the same mushroom from the Mushroom Plate I designed for The Artistic Stamper, and also the word "inspire" from Framed Words #1

This can is actually a mailart I have sent to a friend of mine.

Christmas Lights Canvas By Gemma

I created this 30x30 cm canvas, with lots of different Dylusions paints that I built up in layers. I built the layers by scrapping paint and sponging paint through the chevron and large dot masks. Then I stamped jewelled snowflakes over the top, pierced holes in the centres and glued lights in place. 

I am really looking forward to seeing everyone's entries, and hope you feel inspired by all our pieces.

stamped into clay then the star was cut out of it.  More details and photos can be found on my blog.
