LPoCF #76 Mighty Wizard


Hello again,

Today brings us to a new Anything goes Challenge for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we would love to see what you have been making, all comers and crafts are welcome, we have a lovely sponsor this fortnight Fabrika Fantasy, they will be giving the lucky winner 3 Images of choice.

PRIZE Three Images

I have used a fantastic pre coloured image called Mighty Wizard, altering the colours in word slightly to make them brighter. I made a bookmark which is attached to the card using two small holes and tied on with some twine. My plan changed as I made the card, having intended to have the wizard in a full circle layered and attached with half sticking off the side. I noticed that the wand was pointed at the quote I used for the bookmark and opted to fussy cut him out. 

Here is my bookmark card:-


What I used:-
Coloured Printer
White cardstock
Typed quote using Castellar and Sacramento fonts 
White card folded 14 x 17.4cm
Printed Glitter paper (Big W paper pad)
Scrap of striped and spotty papers

Ink Blending


Hello again,



With our recent cooler weather I headed out to my computer and craft space did a little online shopping spending my Christmas gift voucher on some Distress Oxide ink pads, they arrived and I got them and the ink blender out to have my first go with both, deciding to make a card for my neighbours birthday inspired by an article in Australian Simply Cards, well they used brushos but never mind. I chose pickled raspberry, wilted wisteria and peacock feathers and blended them onto a piece of regular cardstock spraying with a mini mister once finished. My first ink blending experience, not the last one for sure.

On the weather front, summer is not quite done with us yet, heading for another week of 30-35C temperatures, with afternoon or evening storms. Some one should tell the flowering cherry trees and some of the maple trees in the area, some already have leaves on the turn, bright orange nestled in amongst the green.


Late last year when I first discovered that Darkroom Door was a little Aussie company I bought a Rubber stamp assortment pack direct from the store and received a variety of their stamps, cling foam to mount them on and this stamp is one from the pack. I got almost a complete set with African animals in the pack along with some sentiments, fish, flowers, stars and half an alphabet/numeral set they fill two and a half of the clear DVD cases that they also sell. 


Here is my card:-



What I used:-

White 5x7” card blank 12.6 x17.8cm

White card stock
