Live your ART!

It's time for our Monthly Anything Goes

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge

Unfortunately photos don't always do a project justice as is the case here.

I managed to have some time to play here

after hubby was hospitalized then came home with covid.

I picked that up and now just getting back to normal.

Time was running out and I was lucky this piece

 came together easily.

The leaves are 'real' picked up from an excursion and

 die cut with Tim's leaf dies.

Added some clear crackle glaze but didn't turn out (shame)

Background are DP's to help create quickly.

Added some stenciling and stamping.

 Inked the edges and curled one.

Splatters are from my poska pen.

Attached to white card and brown base.

I did manage a few photos.

Head over and check out what our Guest Vicki (fellow D Teamie) 

and the Team created for your pleasure 

and hope you get time to add your Mixed Media 

to our Gallery using multiple mediums.

Thanks for visiting

Inspired by - What Song?

Hello and Welcome to today's post.

We have a super fun challenge over at Cut It Up! 

Do you have a favourite song that you could incorporate into a card?

This is what the Design Team have been playing with

(and perhaps the song is still running around in our heads)

Mine is a simple one to pick!

I am a huge Paul McCartney - Beatles fan so I picked one he sang - 

PS I Love You  (the 1963 version of course)

I die cut a bunch of hearts in bronze, rose pink and metallic cream,

two parts of a big die cut heart and a huge Love die.

Remembered I had some old CB embossing strips

so included one for interest to the back.

After I  finally placed the hearts it was time for the part that

incorporated the song that inspired this card.

I die cut more old CB dies but didn't have

enough room for the PS (lol) to go with 

I Love You. Added a shadow to the words,

including the big Love die.

Added a few smaller hearts to the centre.

Card base and topper is metallic paper.

Didn't want to frame it so added small leftover strips

to both sides to complete.

It will be fun to check out the gallery to see

What song the DT were inspired by to create their card.

We'd love to see yours.

A Simple 'Hello'

It's our Colour Week at Just Us Girls and

our Lovely Lisa is Host and chose such gorgeous colours.

As it is a New Month we have a New Guest Designer.

A Big Welcome to Kerry Parkinson

So glad to have you with us for October.

Here's a close up shimmer!

I had fun inking my Kaisercraft butterfly in the required colours

and attached to die cut background. This was popped onto

the middle of a peek a boo die.

Some framing on the side with leftovers. 

Simple STAMPlorations sentiment and a bit of splatter to finish.

Bling completes my pretty butterfly.

Check out how our Talented Guest Kerry

and the Team enjoyed creating with these fun colours

then - your turn to add yours to our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting!
