SPA - Stars

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend.
The theme for this weeks Sunday Postcard Art is stars.

I stamped the Carabelle Studio houses with black Archival ink and coloured them with watercolour paints then I watercoloured the sky. When the paint was dry I splattered the sky with Kuretake metallic watercolour paint. I stamped the stars [unknown stamp] and coloured them with the metallic paint and drew round them with a black Posca pen.

Thank you for visiting you’re all very welcome, have a lovely day. xxx

SPA - Africa

Hi everyone. Africa is this weeks theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

I coloured the card with terracotta brusho and painted the sun with yellow acrylic paint, I splattered the card with gold Kuretake watercolour paint.The zebra was stamped onto the card and I also stamped it onto white card, I cut the face out and adhered it to the card. I stamped the two silhouettes with black Archival ink. The large figure was stamped onto white card, coloured with felt tips, cut out and adhered it to the card. I doodled round the edge.

Hot Colours

The latest challenge at Show Us Your Twinchies is Hot Colours.

I coloured my twinchie by scribbling red, pink, orange and yellow Kuretake felt tip pens onto my mat, sprayed it with water and coloured the twinchie. I stamped the images with black archival. The stamps are by Clarity Stamps, they're are small stamps and just the right size for twinchies. I went round the edge with black ink.

I'm entering my twinchie in the following challenges.

Pins and/or charms Challenge

Time for another challenge at the Craft-Room. The challenge this time is to use pins and/or charms on your work and it has been chosen by the lovely Nikki.
This is the card I've made.

Our sponsors for the challenge are Crafty Individuals who make the most fabulous stamps.

I coloured a white card blank with vintage photo Distress ink then I used a ribbon punch on the right hand side. I coloured some white lace and seam binding with pink Dylusions spray, on the photo the lace looks a different colour to the binding but they are the same colour. I adhered the lace and some cream lace to the card and threaded the binding through the punched holes.
I scribbled some Kuretake Zig Art Pens onto a large acrylic block, sprayed some water and pressed a piece of white card onto it to colour the card. When dry I edged it with vintage photo. The Crafty Individuals image was stamped onto white card and watercoloured with the Zig pens, it was also edged with vintage photo. The dicuts were cut on my Cricut Expression, coloured with vintage photo and adhered to the card and then I adhered the image.
I attached some rose ribbon and made some stick pins, these were attached to the card and I also added some pearls to the seam binding and a birdcage charm.

We had some fabulous entries in the Fashion challenge which will make it very difficult for me to pick my top 3. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with your charms and pins, why not pop over to the Craft-Room Challenge blog to see the fabulous work that the rest of the Design Team have made.

Happy Bird Day

Here is my latest DT piece for Creative Expressions using Sam Poole's Birds stamp set.

It's quite a simple card layering some kraft card, paper from my stash and the stamped birds. It has been embellished with string and a couple of buttons.
I stamped the birds with Kuretake/Zig Art and Graphic pens.
