My Mixed Media Make for Creative Artiste

It's the first Friday of the month and that means it is

My Mixed Media Post for Creative Artiste Mixed Media

I seem to be stuck on butterflies (from Kaisercraft) at the moment

 as I die cut the two dies for another project recently,

I have used Canson cold press w/c paper

The background stencil is from Tim's Stone

coloured using Ranger Transparent Texture Paste

and Lindy's Canna Lily Burnt Orange

Die cut my dies for backing the butterfly

I decided I didn't like the top black butterfly so cut

another using the same coloured card stock, covered with

the glossy texture paste.

Random stamping from AALL&Create and Kaisercraft

and swipes with a credit card for interest.

Added some splatters to the butterfly and droplets

Inked the edges and attached to same card stock as the dies.

Head over and check out what inspiration is in store for you 

by our Guest Elle and Creative Team,

then get your thinking caps on and come join in

with your Mixed Media Make.

We look forward to seeing where your thoughts took you.

It's 'Anything but a CARD'

 The heading says it all - 

We are creating Anything but a CARD

for our latest challenge over at 

Cut It Up

I found this 4in/4in canvas I though would be

a nice choice for this challenge.

It has splatters of bright coloured acrylic paints

 touches of liquid pearls and a hint of glitter.

Adhered some cheesecloth, cut out some

bold bright flowers to match the background,

and beautiful butterfly inked with

Tim's Crackling Campfire

and a hint of Lindy's Magical's.

Inked the edges

Liquid Pearls were dotted to the centre.

Sentiment is from Tim's Small Talk.

I do love messing around with paints etc

so this was a fun challenge away from

our usual card making challenge.

Hope you like the idea and join in

with what gets you trying something different.

Don't forget to check out our Team's choices

for your inspiration.

Just a 'tree'

Hello and Welcome to today's post for

Just Us Girls 

Host for our Die Week is Sue

challenging us to use any dies 

BUT NO FLOWERS! 

This is going to be one interesting gallery

with so many other fun choices. 

I die cut some wonky strips from

a sheet from a gel plate pull.

Behind them  (a little hard to see)

is a cover plate from CUTplorations.

Sentiment - STAMPlorations.

My tree is from Ultimate Crafts.

We have a New Guest Designer for April

and we Welcome Wanda Cullen

Head over and see how Wanda and the Team

played with their other than flower dies

and come join in the fun with yours.
