Windows...

May 21st 2017

Sharing my altered index cards using the NEW Windows set of digis available from Vera Lane Studio at Etsy!!

I've "teamed" the window frames up with carious other "characters" by Vera Lane Studio - that's the beauty of png files you can overlay everything and have so much fun creating scenes!!!

Who can resist adding a cat or two to a window scene???

 

 

And of course a cute little doll waiting for her "owner" to come home from school and play with her...

 

I've used all sorts of bits & pieces on this altered index card - chocolate foil wrappers, scraps of lace and fibres and lots of fancy stitches done with my sewing machine!



And finally who can resist doing a crazy Halloween themed creation at any time of the year LOL!!!

Loved colouring and creating this one! Too much fun to play around with a creepy cute image and fun embellishments and wording!

Make sure you pop over to the store and nab yourself some images to play around and create with! And remember our Fans Facebook Group where we all love to share our creations!

Do What You Love To Do!

May 16th 2017

Our theme for this month at the Vera Lane Studio Fans Group is Black, White + a POP of colour! I've altered this index card with paint, washi tape and muslin cloth. Just love this gorgeous digi from the Vera Lane Studio Whimsical Clown Set: "Hope and Honey" - gorgeous images!! I printed Hop on watercolour paper and coloured her with a watercolour pen and paints. My splash of colour is of course purple!

Make sure you check out all the amazing digis at Janet's Etsy Store: Vera Lane Studio - always so many new sets with quirky and whimsical characters!!

Rick St Dennis Blog Hop - "Sparkle and Glitter" Challenge Blog Re-opening!!!!!!

May 13th 2017

Great news - the Rick St Dennis Challenge Blog "Sparkle and Glitter" is starting up again and to "kick it off' we are having a Blog Hop!! Our Blog Hop theme is for the EDT to use their most fav Rick St Dennis digi and create!! LOL How could I resist Euro Girl "SHARON" - I've had her for a very long time - just had to nab her for her namesake - so she was my chosen fav digi for this hop!!!

 

I've also used my fav colours for the background and colouring of image - PINKS of course! Excess paints from other projects were used to cover the background of the page and then I added texture paste through a stencil and ink sprays etc. Used the edge of an old credit card to make the black lined border. Image which was coloured with pastel pencils was fussy cut and added to the page with some tiny doileys and muslin cloth plus the letters to spell my name to finish it off!!



 

You can grab the blog hop list from the Sparkle and Glitter Blog PLUS we have fun happenings at the Rick St Dennis Facebook Fan Group all weekend so don't miss out!

Did you see the new release set in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy Store this week???? "Unicorn & Pegasus" 6 digi stamp set - so wonderfully whimsical!!!!

My journal page background was done with a credit card and acrylic paint in colours to match the watercoloured unicorn! I found the tag already made with a VLS quiote so I added that with some washi tape and muslin cloth!!

Hello!

May 1st 2017

Another month gone - can't believe it's may already!! I'm sharing a couple of altered index cards I made into single layer postcards for an Aussie Swap Group I belong to. All digi stamps are by Vera Lane Studio - of course!! I printed directly to the card and coloured with pastel pencils. I spray sealed them and gave them a couple of coats of varnish as they had a postcard back added and were posted "naked" LOL!!! They did arrive safely!!
