Crafty Makes

Good afternoon crafters! .... Thought I would share my few crafty makes with you today :)

The first two  are book marks that I made using Inkylicious stamps on a chalked background then run through the laminator... turned out quite nice I think.

My next makes are using Stampscapes  AND Inkylicious images,  The first one is a mixture of Stampscape images repeated to make the scene..., adding a spot of Jelly Roll Soufle white pen to the tops of the mountains.  I then mounted it onto a MDF oval plaque and finished it off with some rope as you can see. 

And finally my last bits :)  ......  Over on Stampscapes, Kevin, the man behind the videos does some absolutely amazing work with his stamps and one of them is using Stampbord with his images ....check out this link on You Tube ..... Anyways I decided to give the technique a go, I used ATC sized Stampbord and made them into fridge magnets :)  not perfect I know but you know what they say ... practice makes perfect 

Hope you like my crafty work today ? .... Have a good day.
