Steamy Tags...

July 20th 2017

Fun steampunk collaged tags made sometime ago for a swap group. Collage elements are from my fav Etsy Store "Art Tea Life" - check it out - lots of quirky sheets to create with!

Love the white cut out gears (received from a fellow crafter), added ribbon and lace to the tops of the tags, ink sprayed scraps of cloth and added large brass charms to the tags behind the collage pictures. Love to create a steampunk theme!

A Little Ray of Sunshine.....

November 21st 2016

New release in Sandra Caldwell's Etsy Store this week - #1202 Faith Fairy Troll - LOL a cutie! I've coloured her with Copics and coloured pencils.

I'm in a Postcard "Song Title" swap this month so this is one of my creations for the swap - song of course is "A little ray of sunshine"!! I used a 6 x 4 index card as the base and added texture past through a Tim Holtz stencil perfect for looking like the sun's rays, added some ink sprays and black water colour crayon then a bit of muslin cloth, the fussy cut image and computer generated wording!

 

Make sure you check out the store for all the amazing new release designs this week - always such fun & quirky digis to create with!

A House is not a Home without a Dog!!

May 22nd 2016
A fun "houses" creation for a card swap for a little group I belong to!

Little "Pug" image is available at Sandra Caldwell's Etsy Store - I just printed him on Kraft paper and fussy cut! Collage houses are also available at Etsy and are by Kate Crane - they were perfect for this themed card. Background is Tim Holtz patterned tissue paper and paint. Quote is computer generated and printed on Kraft paper and cut out.

 

This card is perfect for the current challenge at the Cardz for Guyz Challenge Blog "Man's Best Friend" - I LOVE dogs - I have 3 of them and totally believe this quote to be true!!!!!

Diamonds are Forever...

May 4th 2016

Sharing 2 ATC's made for a swap I was in with theme of "Diamonds are Forever". I couldn't resist using this image by Sandra Caldwell "#349 Engaged" - perfect for this swap!!

Digi images coloured with copics, background ATC is black card with a purple glitter embossing powder over a diamond background stamp by Tim Holtz and a row of sequins added to the bottom of each ATC for even more glitter along with the "jewel" on her ring!!!

Below is the image coloured before I fussy cut her and added the gem to the ring and her to the backing ATC. she looks perfect in purple tones!

Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.......

March 19th 2016

What a great opportunity for this altered coffee sleeve to be added to the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop happening right now!! LOL there are a lot of people who love coffee themed images and creations!!!!

I "altered" this sleeve which a fellow "Aussie" kindly sent me for a little swap group that we are both in - we altered sleeves, decorated and personalised them and off they went - in my case off overseas!!

Gorgeous "Java" Gal image is available at Sandra Caldwell's Etsy Store - she has lots of coffee themed images - this one I couldn't resist and she was perfect for this creation! Above pics show the front and back and below I put it on a glass to see what it looked like!!

Primary Colour Tags.....

March 13th 2016
Still catching up on creations from 2015!!!!!!! Here are 2 tags made for a art swap group I am in - theme of Primary Colour Tags!

I just love how these turned out. Backgrounds are ink sprayed tissue paper which was glued to the tag and trimmed. I added a bubble wrap look stamp to the base tag as well. And then a strip of washi tape for the collaged gals to stand on and some bakers twine to the tops. The gals are all bits and pieces from a collage sheet from one of my favourite Etsy Stores "Art Tea Life".

Brentwood Gets "Lost in Space"...............

June 13th 2015

 

Wow do I have a fabulous new set of stamps to show you from JessicaLynnOriginal!!!! A fabulous "1950's Brentwood Owl UFO" Set of stamps - soooo much fun to create with as you will see above and below I couldn't help myself but make lots of different things!!

 

Above is my ICAD "title" card for 2015 - I painted the card black and added the ICAD 2015 stamped on ink sprayed card and cut out - Brentwood was also coloured and cut out from card. The "UFO" I embossed with white embossing powder direct to the card background and to finish I printed out the "Lost in Space" wording and adhered to the index card - just love how this turned out!

 

My next creation above is two bookmarks I have done for a swap I am in - theme of "Movies" and how could I resist doing "Lost In Space" - it was one of my favourite TV shows when I was young and still love to watch it and the remake movie wasn't bad - I like Sci-Fi. The yellow backing of the bookmarks is a very thick vellum type paper and I cut the top black layer on my Silhouette. Added the spaceship & Brentwood astronaut to the front with the computer generated wording and some ribbon & twine to the top.

 

I just couldn't resist stamping the envelopes as well to post the bookmarks in - front & back shown above - just basic stamping but still decorates the envie for the receiver!

 

 

And my final creation is this journal page just for a bit of fun "OMG I said beam ME up Scottie not the bloody cow!" I have embossed gold stars in the background and black paint, added some sticky mesh, ink sprayed muslin and then the wording and the 2 stamped and coloured images from the set - just love this one!! 

 

So if you head over to the JLO Blog and leave a comment you might win a prize and you can also get links to the rest of the DT and check out their amazing creations with this brand new set of stamps!!!!

April 18th 2015

Just had to share these 10 x 10 cards made for a "trade" for a FB Group I am in - theme was "It's Hip to be Square" - LOL fun theme and I had fun creating these and I hope the recipients like them!

 



I also want to enter them in the current Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog "J is for Just Kidding" Challenge - I thought these were fun cards and suited the challenge!!

Collage images from Lisa's Altered Art and were just perfect for the look I wanted. I inked around the edges of may sprayed backgrounds - I was trying out my new Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays!
