Bah Humbug - Guest Designer week 4 - Oldie but Goldie -

Firstly, It has been good to hear that Max is home after her Op. - Sending Gentle {hugs} to You Max. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I very much hope soon the pain subsides. Thoughts too go over to Irene, who sadly is still not well enough to join in,  Thinking of you and Gentle {hugs} to you Irene.

The ladies at Bah Humbug have come up with another fab. challenge. We are now entering into Challenge 4

An oldie but a goldie (using something that you've had in your craft stash for a long time but that you love

I knew straight away what items I would be using - just had to decide 'how' My oldie but goldie are my Rollograph wheels, Alcohol Inks and a RS I have had in my crafty stash for a very long time and totally love. I have used the fab. sponges the lovely Max sent me  - they are great for making 'rainbow' type backgrounds using Alcohol inks - I just 'swirled' the sponge around onto the glossy card - in fact it is the plain side of a printed Ad. type postcard - I  used my 'swirl and stars' rollagraph over the alcohol inked background, added some 'cranberry' embossing powder and heat embossed.  The Rubber Stampede Santa Collage RS was stamped using Brilliance ink then clear embossing powder, again, heat embossed.

Here is my card for this weeks fab. theme 'An Oldie but a Goldie' I am not quite sure - I may at a later date add  Flourishes/photo corner/card candy -  I decided that I would add the corner adornments - No time like the present, as they say. Apologies to the Bah Humbug Ladies .. hoping that I havn't caused any problems with the   last minute 'tweeking'



I hope you will agree that the card now looks more
'Finished'




The 'Dinky buckle' is made from a set of Dies I purchased very
recently, Pinky Dinky Dies by Karen Foster, sadly now discontined.
They work wonderfully in my 'Big Shot'

Book Mark with Card

I have made this Book Mark and card using some of the gorgeous crafting goodies sent to me by a dear crafting friend Max They included some sponge blocks for making rainbow backgrounds etc. with alcohol inks as well as some very pretty papers. I have been wanting to use them for sometime now so decided today was the day. I had so much fun making 'rainbow' type patterns using the sponges of which I loaded up with various colours of Alcohol Inks. I also used a little of the gorgeous K'ology papers from K and Co. they really are totally gorgeous.
I have used some acetate and embossed to make a pocket to hold the bookmark. The bookmark was also 'rainbow inked' I then added some more inks, using the sponges, over the embossing.  I have heat embossed a flourish stamped image as well as Cuttlebug embossed onto the bookmark. In the pic. the book mark looks almost quite silver but in reality is is not.
