Spread the Word.....

February 18th 2017

A fun ATC made for the current trade at the Vera Lane Studio Facebook Group! I've used several images to compile" this gal for my ATC - that is the best thing about Vera Lane Studio digis - they are png files and you can mix & match!!

Gal is from the "Whimsical Garden Girl" Set, Hat is from the "Boutique Hats" Set, "Love" wording on the hat was a special freebie from Janet at Vera Lane and the hearts on the background are from the "Lil Love" Set. I printed the hearts direct to an ATC offcut of a lined index card and ink sprayed. Added some washi, fibre and computer generated wording. Digi image coloured with pencils and fussy cut. I edged the ATC with gold Smoosh!

I am entering this in the current "Hearts" ATC challenge at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog!

I'm Feeling Catty...

December 22nd 2016

This is my entry for this week's challenge at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Blog - theme of "Cats & Dogs" and of course as you know I can't do anything "normal" LOL so I've used 2 of Janet's images from Vera Lane Studio to create this "catty" gal!

 

 

The "gal" is from the Housewives Digi Set and the "cat hat" is from the Boutique Hats Digi Set - great digis because they are png files and you can mix & match and have lots of FUN!!! ATC background was from a set of precut ATC's which I added some colour to plus a piece of doiley I had used to mop up excess ink, washi tape and computer generated wording! Image coloured with Copics and colour pencils!

Enter the Dragon...

December 16th 2016

 

My entry for this weeks "Letter D" challenge at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog using one of the images I won from last week's Wicked Wednesday challenge!!

This gorgeous "Shy Dragon" digi is available in Miss Rach's Etsy Store - you really have to check out her gorgeous critters and she has a huge sale on til xmas - well worth the visit! I coloured the digi with copics and pencils and fussy cut plus I added Diamond Glaze to the eyes. Background ATC is mixed media using old book pages, stencil, texture paste, ink sprays and some added mesh and muslin texture plus gold "Smooch" to edge the ATC and computer generated wording to finish off!! Just love this gorgeous image!

December 14th 2016

 

Adding my ATC entry to the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge for this week at the 11th hour LOL! theme is "Winter Hats or Accessories" - have used 2 digis by Vera Lane Studio for this ATC on a mixed media background which was a "mop up" of paint from my gelli plate and also coloured texture paste left over!

Mini Halloween Pocket Letters....

October 30th 2016
Sharing 2 x mini pocket letters made for an Aussie Swap Group I belong to - with a Halloween theme of course for this time of the year!

This first one I am entering in the current Desert Islands Craft Challenge using the following items from their itinerary: green & black, Halloween sentiment, stripes, ribbon or twine - I have ribbon & twine on the spine of the pocket letter.

I started with a base ATC from black card and then cut up purple paint chip samples - perfect for a quick background of colour! Added green ink sprayed muslin cloth and images by Lisa's Altered Art. I added washi tape and the ribbon & twine to the plastic pockets.

The next mini pocket letter I did with an orange and black pumpkin theme - images again from Lisa's Altered Art and backgrounds done with black card and paint chip samples.

I am entering these ATC's in the current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge with the theme of Witches, Bats & Black Cats - perfect for the little witches sitting in the carts!

Halloween is Coming...

September 15th 2016

A couple of quick ATC's I made using collage images from Gecko Galz. A great way to use up some bits and pieces of paper and die cuts that I had laying around! I'm entering these at the current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge with theme of "Getting Ready for Halloween"!!

Sunshiney Yellow...

August 14th 2016

 

My entry for this week's "Sunshiney Yellow" challenge at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog! Digi stamp is by Sandra Caldwell - #860 Bug Lady - click here for direct link to image in store!

Image coloured with copics and fussy cut and I added braid, mesh and washi tape to the background plus a little paper flower to her dress to finish off!

Rock & Roll.....

July 10th 2016
Sharing a new release image for SLS Lines today "Guitar Rock Guy"!!

Firstly I've made an ATC for the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog for their theme of Rock & Roll - this image was just perfect! I've printed it directly onto some card I coloured with ink sprays, cut out and mounted onto an ATC sized backing. To finish it off I used my sewing machine for some added effect.

Next I've printed the image and wording onto an index card I had already done the background on. The card was used to mop up excess colour from other creations - always great to have a premade background to whip up a creation!

 

I love this image - it's sort of a silhouette and perfect for printing onto coloured backgrounds but if you check out the blog you will see it is great coloured too - it was a popular image for the DT to use - such a range of ways to use this!

Dreaming of a Yellow Xmas????

July 4th 2016

A quick post to enter my ATC in the current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge - theme of Xmas in June/July. I could not resist using a couple of Sandra Caldwell's images together to create and "alternate" xmas themed ATC for this challenge!! Firstly I used "#321 Eye Am Minion" and to make him xmassy I added one of the images from the Digi This and That "#765 Xmas Gear" set - perfect!!

Horrorscope....

June 22nd 2016

My "Horrorscope" ATC for the current Wicked Wednesday Challenge!! I've used a horrorscope digi by Teri at Delicious Doodles for this - my star sign - Capricorn!! I've layered the ink sprayed and printed Capricorn layer onto a black ATC card.

Angel of Love...

June 6th 2016

All coloured with copic markers and the wording was computer generated.

Something Fishy..........

May 28th 2016

A cute little ATC to enter the current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog for this week's theme of "Sea Creatures" and I've used "#157 Betty Mermaid" digi image by Sandra Caldwell!! I've had this image printed out for ages and just hadn't gotten around to colouring her so this was a perfect "excuse" to get her coloured and created with!!

Also entering this at the "Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers" - NOT a Card challenge - and as this is an ATC I think it fits the theme!!
