White!

Hi Everyone, sorry I have been missing for a while, but flew down to Christchurch to attend to some family matters. Unfortunately, I had a dizzy spell when I got up to go to the bathroom, and landed on the suitcase, so I am rather battered and bruised!!

My project that I have been working on for some time, and finally finished, started as  an ugly brown tray that I rescued from my work.

I sanded it down, applied 2 coats of gesso, and then used my homemade chalk paint for the final coat. The design is from the Graphic Fairy, and is my second attempt at image transfer. I am really pleased with the result, and would like to enter at Paper Artsy for the current challenge 'white'

Mauve and pearly

Hi everyone

I am just sneaking in at the last minute with my entry at Paper Artsy.

I made this card for a co-worker who's husband passed away.

I coloured the beautiful image from 'Flourishes' with pearlescent paints, added the sentiment, sponged the edges and layered onto a violet card Base

Autumn leaves

Hi fellow crafters

Todays card started with a piece of watercolour card that I coloured with Brusho's and Infusions.

I then applied the peel-offs and fussy cut around them, also added the word from the same peel-off sheet. The card was then trimmed and added to a cream pearlescent card base

Je t'aime!

Hi everyone.

I am back again with a cas card for the challenge at AAAcards. The theme is 'Inspired by a film' and I have chosen An American in Paris.

The two stamps are from a Penny Black set and I cut the eiffel tower with my Cameo. The striped trim was from my snippets box.

Hi, I am back again today with a last minute entry at Paper Artsy.

They are asking for glitter which I have added to this card made from free papers from a magazine. There is glitter on the wee snowflake corner domes, and I also used Wink of Stella around the image, although it doesn't show up much in the photo

The owl!

Hi Everone.

I needed to make a card for a birthday, and wanted to use this owl stamp that I bought in Montreal nearly 2 years ago, which had not seen ink!

I stamped on the grey card and then again on my base colour, and also white. I fussy cut the owl, and then the eyes and layed them onto the die cut branch.
