S P A - Collage

Good morning everyone, I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend, we’re having a very hot one where I am.
Collage is this weeks theme at the Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

I used a watercolour postcard that I'd previously coloured with brushos. All the images were cut out of a Flow magazine and I added some die cut flowers.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely Sunday. xxx

Busy Bees

Hi everyone, today I have a tag to share with you.

There are a couple of challenges that I’d like to enter
Tag Tuesday  - Wings
Country View Challenges  - It’s A Bugs Life.

I used distress ink and a Darkroom Door sunshine stamp on the background and stencilled a honeycomb pattern with archival ink. I stamped the Woodware beehive onto white card and coloured it with pencils, cut it out and adhered it to the tag, I stamped the small Woodware bees and added the large Sizzix bee.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look. xxx

SPA - Hair

Hair is this weeks Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

I watercoloured the background and stamped some crackle, l stamped the large flowers and coloured them with pencils, I doodled the small flowers. I stamped the girl onto white card, coloured her with pencils and cut her out. I doodled lines round the edge and added some stickle dots, they don’t show up on the photo.
The stamps that I used for the flowers and girl are Wonky Tonk stamps.

Tropical Juice

Good morning everyone, it's a very wet and chilly one here.
The challenge at Tag Tuesday is Beverages, so for my tag I imagined myself on a tropical island sitting in the sunshine drinking a lovely fruity cocktail.

I coloured the background with distress inks and stencilled it with a Craftascope stencil and black soot distress ink. I put some washi tape at the bottom. I stamped the Crafters Companion cocktail onto white card and coloured it with watercolour and coloured pencils, the flamingo, humming bird, flower and leaves are Daisy Trail images that I printed and for the sun and large flower at the bottom I used Leonie Pujol floral burst dies.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely day. xxx

SPA - Dragonflies

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend.

I’m very happy to be hosting this weeks Sunday Postcard Art challenge, the theme I’ve chosen is dragonflies.

I coloured the background with dIstress ink and stamped some dragonflies with an Impression Obsession stamp. I tore flowers out of some napkins and adhered them too the card. I stamped the Carabelle Studio dragonfly onto card, coloured it, cut it out and adhered it to the card, I also put some stickles on the wings. The quote is an Artistic Stamper stamp.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely weekend. xxx

SPA - Travel/Maps

Good morning everyone, the theme for this weeks Sunday Postcard Art is Travel/Maps.

I covered my card with tissue paper that had a map pattern on it, then I die cut the Sizzix/Tim Holtz  world map and embossed it with Frantage embossing powder, I adhered it to some coloured card and cut round it. I added some die cut seagulls and some word stickers.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely day. xxx

Decorated Hand

Good morning all, it’s the first of June so it’s time for the latest challenge at Altered Eclectics, as always the theme is Anything Goes as long as the projects are mixed media/altered art, no cards ATCs etc are allowed.

For my DT piece I've decorated a papier-mache hand.

I started by giving the hand a coat of white gesso.

Then I adhered some scraps of paper napkins and rice paper.

This is the front of the hand.

This is the back of the hand.

Then I did a couple of things that I wished I hadn't done - I coloured parts of the hand with turquoise paint and then I went a bit mad with some white and gold splatters.

I added some flowers to the base.

A close up of the flowers and splatters.

Thank you all for dropping by to take a look, have a lovely day. xxx
