Art Doll

I have made this Art Doll - my first of many! - for a forum challenge - we were to make an item that could be hung, and theme was Inspiration. I hope this Art Doll conveys love and contentment when she reaches her new home :)

TMTA Asia

This weeks theme on Think Monday Think Atc is Asia. I have made this Atc using Adirondak colorwash sprays to create the background - this is my first time of using them and i just love them! I used colorbox ink chesnut for the stamped image, the stamp is by PSX, the image is from an Oriental Atc images pad.

Buttons Atc.

This weeks theme on Wednesday stamper is Buttons, which happens to coincide with this weeks Daring CardMakers theme of Haberdashery, so I have made this Atc as an entry to both. I decided to try something different and use very delicate colours which was a challenge I really enjoyed, I will definetly use them more often. I added buttons and cream coloured lace to finish it off. The stamps are PaperArtsy and Crafty Individuals, the inks are versamagic.

Gillian's card.

Ive made this card for my friend Gilian's Birthday. I used stamps from Crafty Individuals and coloured the main image with water colour pencils.

Daring Card Makers

This weeks challenge over on Daring Card Makers is "to somehow incorporate text into your cards, not just one word, but a portion of text".

Rain rain go away, come back another day! My kids have been singing this quite a lot recently as the UK has been deluged with rain lol. When I chose this art-e-zineimage I thought the rhyme fitted in perfectly.

I have altered this slide mailer using acrylic paints and rub-on's and added a strip of black velvet ribbon to the front left side. Its my first attempt at altering a slide mailer, and i'm so relieved that its done! I am unsure of the maker of the Belly Dancer stamp.

Think Monday.....

This weeks theme over on Think Monday - Think Atc's is Children. I have made this Atc using one of my favourite stamps from Queens Dresser Drawers, and it is coloured using versamagic inks, water colour pencils and wax crayons. I have added a wax crayon to the little girls hand to suggest she is responsible for creating all the colour in her life. Inspiration for this idea is courtesy of my 20 month old daughter Chloe, who just cant resist scribbling on any available surface - including herself!!

Red Atc's Swap.

Red is the theme of an Atc swap I have joined. The first atc is made using a stamp from The Queens Dresser Drawers and is coloured with versamagic and coloured pencils, the background is a scribbled as I wanted to make it seem that the little girl had created her own world. The second Atc is made with a stamp from Crafty Individuals and coloured using versamagic and watercolour pencils. The third is again a stamp from Crafty Individuals and coloured with colorbox chalk ink.
This Atc is the same stamp as above from Crafty Individuals , the white background script is a stamp from Paperbag Studio's. I coloured the background using colorbox chalk ink.
