For the last time

Yep peeps... this is it... my last post as a Stampotique Design Team member. It was a hard decision and I'm sad to go, but with my new job I don't have a lot of free time and so much I want to do. And what a good way to end this awesome time, by hosting my last challenge:
Every stamper has a little Frankenstein in them. Give a stamp without wings a pair of them. Have fun creating!!

Yep... still here and with a new challenge. This time it's hosted by Kathi:
My spirit animal must be a magpie as I am attracted to all things that shine, shimmer, or glitter. My challenge for you is to create a project that literally shines!

Not really an easy one for me, but I think my card turned out okay. I used Mega Flakes and also some Perfect Pearls (although you can't see it very well on the photo). Further I used Dylusions sprays and MFT Die-Namics.

Happy Wednesday... I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last blogged. But today I'm here with a new challenge for you hosted by me:

At first I was a bit afraid of these intense neon colors, but after using them I really began to love them. They give your work such a nice "pop". I challenge you to use at least one neon color. Can't wait to see your eye popping work :-)

I did another Mark Making page and used some neon orange acrylics, ink, sprays, stencils and a lot of stamps.

Happy Wednesday!!! This week the challenge is hosted by France:
We often expect cards on our birthday. How about surprising someone with an unbirthday card? With or without Alice in Wonderland inspiration, make a happy unbirthday card!

I already had an idea in mind which stamps I wanted to use, but had no color inspiration. So for this challenge I did another color search on google (love google hihi) and choose this colors as Alice in Wonderland. Not my typical color scheme, but I like it. I used Dylusions, Distress Stain Spray, Distress Ink Pads and MFT Die-Namics.

Happy Wednesday!!! A new challenge brought to you by Sue:
Ever since I was small I've loved the colour yellow and the rest of the citrus colours. They are just so fresh and always make me feel happy. So this week I want you to use citrus colours and spread the happiness!

I googled a color scheme and decided to work with this one. Really love a color challenge, maybe because colors makes me happy too :-D I used my fingers on my Gelli Plate and made a journal page.

Happy Hump Day!! This weeks challenge is hosted by Kathi:
E.E. Cummings said, "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." Puns and word play always make me smile. Really good puns make me laugh. Create a project that makes YOU smile, then share it with us! As always, have fun with this challenge!

I made an art journal page on the Gelli Plate, just my usual technique :-) 

Have fun searching for a funny quote, I really had fun with that ;-)

Yep... I'm back on the Wednesdays with the Stampotique Designers Challenge. Sadly we start this new year with goodbyes. Our lovely and talented teammates, Kay, Roc and Sarah, have left the building... well I'm sure they will sneak in some time with their gorgeous creations.

This weeks challenge is hosted by Claudine:
Most of us always create a new Years Resolution at the beginning of the new year. For 2015 try your hand at making something with your new years resolution in mind.

I made this art journal page with a new years resolution I know I will keep ;-) No weight loss promises I will break at the end of the week hihi. 

This page was made on the gelli plate. The orange is actually Neon, but doesn't show up very well. I tell ya, this page is eye popping :-)
