Too Much Piggy Figgy Pudding....

December 15th 2016

Such a fun new release image at Sandra's Etsy Store - LOL - #1240 Swine Sized!!!

I've coloured him with copics and colour pencils and fussy cut. I found these great xmas pudding themed digital papers at KPW Graphics Etsy Store and did a torn paper background for this piggy!! Wording is computer generated and torn out. A bit of piggy fun for xmas!!

Winter Hat...

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!

 

Have a sweet day!!!

Bah Humbug says the Elf....

LOL this is me!!

Fun little "He Elf" by Sandra Caldwell - available in her Etsy Store and just perfect for Xmas!

I've used him on a mixed media journal page - lots of paint, napkin and texture. The little pressies and tree are stickers I've had for ages so a good way to use some of my stash! it of a grungey background but I like the effect!

Xmas Wish...

December 8th 2016

The theme for this month's challenge at the Delicious Doodles Challenge Blog is "Traditional Christmas Colours" - I love non traditional but that was last month's theme so although I used traditional colours for this journal page I used a non traditional style image LOL!!! And this is also perfect being a little goth/alternate for this months Dream in Darkness Challenge!!

I've created a mixed media journal page using Teri's "Raven Goddess" - available in her Etsy Store. Page background is paint plus I used embossing fluid through a stencil with a gorgeous xmas coloured powder to get the sparkly sun rays effect. Image coloured with copics in xmas colourings and then fussy cut and added to the page with some ink sprayed cloth scrap and the gold "wish" letter stickers. Christmassy - sort of traditional - but definitely "my" style!!! Look forward to seeing the entries for this challenge!

The Queen of Denial.....

December 2nd 2016

A fun altered index card using a great "Cleopatra" collage image by Gecko Galz. Index card back was a bit of a "mop up" card for excess spray inks and texture paste/stencil. I fussy cut the queen image and added the computer generated wording. Made this for the "Q" November challenge at the Gecko Galz Facebook group.

Be Inventive & Creative...

Made a couple of Moo's for 2 challenges today. Collage Steampunk girls are from the "Industrial Age" digi Stamp Set by Gecko Galz. Base Moo cards are paint chip samples and I cut them so they look like stripes for the current Moo-Mania Blog challenge of Stripes! I also added some scraps of muslin, a brad to one and metal spiral to another and a scrap piece of washi tape. Love that these Moo's are small enough to use those little bits & pieces you get as left overs and can't bear to throw away!!

I have also made these 2 Moo's using items from the current Desert Islands Crafts Challenge Blog itinerary - the items I used from the list are: Steampunk, Monochrome, Add Metal & Anything But a Card!!!

Feeling Rubbery.....

November 26th 2016
My post today is revisiting some "rubber stamped" creations I've made!! I had fun picking out some of my "favs" for this post - realised I love to create with lots of different style of images and using lots of different mediums to complete the creations!

Mixed media cards using Prima Bloom girls - great large stamps to create with and I loved colouring them with different mediums!





 

 

Lost Coast Designs have some great stamps to create with this is a little mini mixed media journal page which I think started as a bit of a "mop up" page for excess paints and ink on a background stamp and was worked on from there.

 

Below is one of my favourites from ICAD this year - just love the bird stamp and had so much playing with paint and making the circles.

 

Love the texture of this next page and the addition of the lace and braid scraps I attached with my sewing machine and great medieval style stamp.

 

Below are some creations using Stampotique Stamps - such quirky stamps available!!

Firstly a mixed media double page journal spread - this was so much fun to create with paint, stamps and embossing powder for a December/Xmas theme!!

 

And below are two sets of stamped ATC's made for swaps - LOL the first set were nix and match - using several stamps and cutting them up and making a new character and of course the 2 under that are Halloween themed!!!

 

 

And a few rubber stamps from JessicaLynnOriginal. Altered index cards below combine the rubber stamped coffee cup with collage images and mixed media background!

 

Love to create tag art and this Boston Terrier rubber stamp worked perfectly with the background for this and matching elements! I coloured this image with pastel pencils - always love the effect from these pencils.

 

A couple of dog themed "Moo's" - using toy dog stamps - stamped dogs directly to the Moo and coloured with pencils.

 

Altered playing cards with textured and ink backgrounds and stamps coloured with copics - I loved how these turned out - the colours are vibrant and I love the backgrounds.

 

Rubber stamps are so versatile and it was great to look back over my past creations with them and add this post to my blog!
