Best Wishes.

We are into our Mood Board Challenge at Just Us Girls

and Hosting is Bobby choosing a mix of multiples to choose from.

A bigger view!

I went as close as I could with the  image on the top left

but adding colours from the palette on the right

with rust, grey and a soft pink.

Added a tiny metallic flower with a pearl centre

with a simple sentiment.

Attached to SU grey card stock and base.

Check out what our Guest Annette

and the Team took from the super Bobby Board.

Be inspired and head off and create yours

to add to our Gallery.

Thanks for the visit.

Celebrating what's NEW!

 Our first challenge of the year is here at

Cut It Up and looking to create with

 'Something New" with dies.

I was gifted this layered floral die cut set

so chose to try it out for this challenge.

Cut several pieces - some white and the pink

is from a piece out of my bits box.

(would have been coloured with Lindy's Magical's)

Did some simple background stenciling with

Stamperia Formato D.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations See the Good

both inked with SU Tip Top Taupe.

Adhered to white card base.

Head over and see what's NEW

from the talented team and I am sure

you will want to add your new die cut creation

to our gallery.

We're back at Just Us Girls!

 We are back and ready to inspire you for another year at

Just Us Girls with Vicki Hosting.

We start off the New Year with a NEW CHALLENGE THEME!

We replaced our Colour Challenge Week to 

Use a Die Week. More details on our Blog Here

We also start with a New Designer and Welcome to 

Annette Elias who will be sharing her talents with us for January.

A CAS card die cutting some dainty flowers

inking with Lindy's Magical's -

Bougainvillea Fuchsia and Cathedral Pines Green.

While I had the fuchsia still open I noticed some colour

on the lid so stamped a few circles to the background.

The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and die cut

several times for dimension

in the same fuchsia colour as the flower heads.

Of course I had to add some splatters for a

little more colour.

Attached to white card base to complete.

Head over and check out what Annette and my

talented team mates created for your pleasure,

leave them a kind comment and 

we would love to see your die cut card in our Gallery.

I got out a favourite from CUTplorations

Holiday Word Die cut with red card stock

and heat embossed clear.

My background is again from my bits box (handy eh)

Second die cut is also from CUTplorations

cut with white card stock and adhered to vellum.

Attached to grey card base - 

an easy peasy one and just right for Christmas creations.

Head over and see what dies my team mates chose

I wish you all a Merry Christmas

Season's Greetings...

Christmas is closing in and it is 

our last challenge of the year at Creative Artiste Mixed Media

so  a bit of Christmas MM is called for.

After a few attempts I found this photo taken

on my living room floor showed up the best lol 

It started with - 

die cutting frames, tags, corner pieces

and heat embossing some grunge in gold.

Then some painstakingly piece-ing together

Tim's Floral Brushstroke with two tones of metallic paper

and a touch of vellum leaves. Then lots of gold splatters.

Arranging the layers and checking out where and

how much gold thread to add

and which pearls after final layering.

Adding close up of sentiment from an old Spellbinder die

with pearls either side.

and a few more close ups

and again the end result.

Head over to our Blog and check out how our 

Talented Guests Linda and Erika shared their talents with us this month

and of course how my Very Talented Creative Team Mates 

created and inspired you to share yours in our Gallery.

As with each year we take January off so

I will be back in February to have fun creating

 and get a little messy.

Thank you to my Team Mates and for 

your support through the disruptive year of my moving house.

Merry Christmas and

Happy New Year to you all.
