A Swashbuckling Adventure........

October 2nd 2015

 



 

What a great "Nautical" theme we have for our October RAQ (Reader's Art Quest) at the Unruly Paperarts site!!!!! I just loved creating this journal page in my A4 size journal with a great Pirate Gal image from Some Odd Girl! I used Silhouette files to cut out the ship and Jolly Roger skull and the anchor stencil.

I found the pirate/treasure digital image at Etsy and used that on my page too along with some paint, texture paste and other bits & pieces!

We would love to see your nautical inspirations linked up to this months RAQ - as always at there is a "mood" board and colour theme that you can use of just be inspired by the picture!!

September 30th 2015

Love Yourself......

September 28th 2015

Well yet again I have another "nude" image to promote for SLS Lines!!! Now you can find the "nude" images in the Colouring Book/Adult part of the SLS Lines Etsy Store - a few are available as individual designs but this one I am using today - this beautiful curvaceous woman - is only available as part of a colouring book. You never know maybe if you "petition" SLS Lines she might come up as an individual image to purchase!!!!

Now you may know because I have used and mentioned before that the SLS Lines store also sells patterned digital papers - which I love - and the background of this journal page is from the pack of "Wood Digital Paper with Rustic Texture" - a beautiful range to use as background papers or layers or for an old aged wood look to your creations!

I scraped some Gesso over the paper background and added some soft pink & green Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays plus some washi tape and sprayed muslin for added texture to mount the image, Tim Holtz ticket, butterfly and scrabble letters on.

I'm really happy with this page. Make sure you check out the SLS Lines Blog for regular DT inspiration plus all the details for our current challenge and of course the Etsy Store for all the amazing designs!

Let's do the "Monster Mash"!!!!!

September 27th 2015

Who remembers the Monster Mash song??? LOL what great fun!! When I saw this set of 9 "new release" monsters from SLS Lines I just had to have them all to create with!!

 

So I decided to do some "doodling" in my black journal with colourful Posca Pens and then add the colourful monsters to the pages. And I just couldn't resist adding some "wobble" eyes to each monster as well for added fun LOL!!!

 

You can grab this set of monsters from the SLS Lines Etsy Store along with the other new release images for the month and if you stop by the SLS Lines Blog you can see what the DT have created with all the new releases as well as lots of other inspiration plus our current challenge details!!!

Today is the day that we have challenges starting at the Spellbinding Stamps Blog so let's see what you can do with Nikki's amazing gals!!! For our first challenge we want to see "embellishments" - let's see lots of them LOL - I love embellishments!!!

 

For my DT creation I've made a page in my journal with the gorgeous "Willow" image available at Nikki's Etsy Store! Background is Gesso with ink sprays. I added some cut outs with Silhouette Files, plus some hessian type fabric, some little red gems for the trees, glitter glue, "joy" sign and I used a needle and cotton to make the lacing on her dress bodice. A gorgeous image which I can't wait to use again!

"Esme" Ready for Halloween!

September 20th 2015

A "pretty" Halloween themed card made using gorgeous papers from the Tsunami Rose Etsy Store "Witches Brew" - just love this paper pack! And of course I couldn't reist teaming the papers with a fantastic image from Nikki Burnette's Spellbinding Stamps available in her store and this gal is "Esme"!!

I love the orange tones on these papers - perfect for matching with the colourings I used on the digi stamp. I distressed all the edges of the paper and added some black lace. All patterned papers are from the Witches Brew Journal Kit and also I fussy cut the butterflies from one of the paper pages too.

I always love layers and textures on handmade cards! Hope you like this and make sure you check out both Etsy stores to grab some great "supplies"!!!
