Summer Screams Ice Creams!

You all know the saying

I scream you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM! 

  so that's the way I headed for our

WORD Week at Just Us Girls and

choosing this 'cool' word is our Host VICKI!

It was fun creating this 'cool' card'.

I die cut a few ice creams from

STAMPlorations Sweet Cravings and

 using the kraft one and the white as a shadow.

Added colour, texture paste

and topped it with coloured sand paste and glitter.

Background is smooched with distress inks

sprays and spritz with a touch of Magical's.

Sentiment is cut up from Kaisercraft.

Piece of bark from the back yard grounded my 

ice cream cone.

Framed with white on to kraft card base.

Our Guest Kellianne and the Talented Team

have created a fabulous variety of 'SUMMER'

for you so we are looking forward to seeing

your take on our WORD challenge in the Gallery.

PS it is winter here in Australia but

living in the tropics doesn't stop us from

eating ice cream - but then lots do 

in the cold of winter eh!

See you there.

My Creative Artiste Mixed Media Make...

Today's post is for our New Challenge at

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media 

where we use multiple mediums on our

Mixed Media creations.

Here's mine!

 

An outside and inside shot!

I have used a heap of products on this 

and to name some - 

Kaisercraft bird cage die

Tim Holtz stamps/inks/sprays/crackle paste

Liquitex Texture Paste

Stencils -Zyneri and AALL&Create

Versafine Inks

and other bits from my stash

you will see from the photos.

and it all started here -

a 5/7 canvas panel corrugated cardboard

with gesso and inks

and the start of the stamping with Tim's Ledger Script

adding more stampng from

Tim's Fading Type and stencil work from

AALL&Create

onto the next layer with more script

and inked edges 

Birdcage is coloured with Lindy's Vintage Caravan Caramel

and attached to a different background as I messed up the first one..

As you can see there is a lot going on here - 

flowers scattered all over my desk, some old ones

from my stash and a few from the punch.

Added a die cut, tags stamped from

AALL&Create, twine and a key.

A little bird and a heap of pearls.

Finished with Wink of Stella on the flowers

and Tumbled Glass Distress Glass in the centres.

A few close ups - 

and as they say "That's a wrap"

never got finished so now it has.

Die cut my butterfly with metallic c/s

and added the polish to the wings and centre.

Oh yes there were 'splatters''

Adhered to very pale peachy metallic base.

It's a Twofer Stencil-ing

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls 

and Hosting for the first time is our

Newest Designer Denise.

As you can see I have made two CAS cards

using the same AALL&Create Lotus Clusters stamp 

including the sentiment inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne

with the one on the left heat embossed clear.

Stencils are from STAMPlorations Foiled Again

BeeArty White Wash

and AALL&Create Moc-Croc

in Saltwater Taffy Ox ink and stain

with different backings.

Easy as to make two while I had the stamp set out

as I wasn't sure which stencils to use.

All the Design Team with our Guest Kerry

have created an abundance of creativity

using their stencils and now it's

your turn to share with us in the Gallery.

You could be our Winner of the Week

and go on to be a future Guest.
