Venus Dreaming....

December 30th 2013

Well I have caught up with sharing all my 2013 creations so am ready for January 1st and 2014 creations!

I made this card using the Gesso Resist technique and gorgeous image from Michele Perkett - available at her Etsy Store. I actually printed the image twice onto my card - once in black and if you look closely you will see a bigger image printed in an earthy tone.

I added photo corners, Tim Holtz ticket. paper flower & charm and some little butterfly punchies.

I decided that in 2014 I need to try some more techniques with ink, paint and the like to get more creative and messy LOL!!!!

Gone Fishing....

December 29th 2013

The little boy fishing on this card started out as an ATC and then I needed a birthday card for a boy so I added some more layers and wording and ended up with this! Image is from A Day for Daisies.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night....

Well you still have a couple of days to enter the last challenge of 2013 at the Just Some Lines Blog and then get ready for our challenges in 2014!!! Our theme is Christmas or Winter and there are some great freebies at the blog for you to use to enter. I "adapted" this gorgeous little shepherdess by adding a little collage xmas hat and some wording from a Christmas Carol. LOL it's almost a CAS card and that is very unusual for me!!!!!

A reminder for our "Happy Holidays" Challenge at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Blog!! I recently purchased this so cute Xmas elf from Sweet Pea Stamps and thought she was perfect for my reminder post! Basically I just printed her out, coloured her with Copic Markers, mounted the image on gold card and added some star gems!

I loved this image so much that I decided to make 2 cards - one in traditional xmas colours and the other non traditional - hence my two samples below!! I love how these turned out and it's always great to see how different an image looks in different colour tones!
