SMILE!

What's the Theme this time round at Cut It Up ???

LOL/ That's Funny

The stencil I used was bought years ago

at a craft show and I thought it was sooo cute!

You have  a smile on your face don't you?

I used white texture paste mixed with

Lindy's Alpine Ice Rose through the stencil

and while wet sprinkled with

Rainbow Lites glitter (Celebrations of Australia)

My also cute die was cut three times with the top

pink same as card base.

Of course I had to add some splatters to finish it off.

You will want to check out my Team Mates

fun side to see what they created for your inspiration

then you will head off and have fun too and

add yours to our Gallery won't you?

Thanks for dropping in

The Beauty of a Butterfly

It's the first Friday of the Month and our

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge is Live!

There's LOTS and LOTS going on here so let's get started with...

a 5x7inch canvas gesso-ed, background coloured with 

salvage patina and

AALL&Create stencils using metallic white texture paste

which look a little silvery.

Adding some stamping and texture paste,

inking the edges.

The top butterfly is from dp and the other two

had embossing glaze, distress stain added to brown card stock.

Realized the bottom right butterfly was the wrong one.

Edges have random crackle paste and 

inked with spiced marmalade.

Added rusty brown wax to the stencilling and the edges.

Die cut a couple of numbers, adding lots of washi tapes

to the butterfly background, die cut circles and a few gears.

A few tiny flowers added for a bit more colour

and matched the washi tape.

Liquid pearls to the centres.

The butterfly looked a little lack lustre so 

sprinked it with tumbled glass distress glitter

adding a centre piece for more dimension.

A few random close ups

And there you have my Mixed Media Project for September.

It was nice to have a bit more spare time to create

something a bit more involved. 

We have Annie as our Guest this month 

so head over and check out

what Mixed Media Annie and the Team created 

for your inspiration and join in with yours to our Gallery. 

THANKS!

It's  our first Challenge for the Month at  Just Us Girls

and it's DIE Week - Hosted by Vicki

As we do each month we start with a New Guest

Welcome to Jaydee.

Vicki has gone with Anything Goes 

so the gallery will be full of an amazing array of

  DIE CUT CREATIONS.

I can't take credit for this card as I saw this card

on Pinterest and loved the simplicity of it 

and case-d it. 

It was simple to create apart from the

tiny tiny bits of the THANKS die

which was fiddly filling in the white and gold ones.

I do love to play with Tim's Wildflowers and just added

a centre bit to the main flower.

The stencil background is Woodgrain from Couture Creations

using some metallic paper.

Head over and see the marvellous makes from

Jaydee and the Gang and be sure to

add yours to the Gallery.
