Hello and Welcome to todays's post.

Hosting this weeks Word Challenge at

HOPE! which can be used in many ways.

My background is a mix of Magical's,

distress inks and script stamping from Darkroom Door.

Gold leaf was sitting on my desktop.

Sentiment is STAMPlorations, heat embossed in gold 

and die cut from MFT. Inked the edges.

Adhered to brown card base.

Hope to see yours in our Gallery.

 

This IS in My Garden...

 We are looking for What's In Your Garden at

Cut It Up

As you know I recently moved house and the villa

we moved in didn't have much of a garden so - 

I am in the process of changing that as I do love a garden.

It is only very small so I have been busy potting

as well as adding some colourful flowers and shrubs.

I chose to try and replicate one shrub that has a

beautiful pink flower. It is in a pot sitting on

pebble stones like I embossed here and behind it

is the brick wall. Added lots of greenery

 from a few dies.

I decided to ground the pot with bauxite stones

and cover the pot with art stones.

Sentiment fitted perfectly.

The Talented Team have amazing takes on

'What's in their Garden'

Now it's your turn to show us by

addng to our Gallery.

Thanks for visitng.

See it 'GROW'

 

It's been a long time coming but 

 I am back getting inky for our September AG

Mixed Media at Creative Artiste Mxed Media

I haven't quite finished sorting out my MM supplies

so have gone with some more 'easy to find items' here.

The piece I used for my die  cut tag is one 

made quite some time ago.Tim's die cut flower

is also from a scrap I had sitting around.

Got out some favourite AALL&Create stamps 

for the background stamping, adding some stencilling.

The pot is popped and I added some 

sisal and art stones.

Inked the edges and fnished with 

some wrapping ribbon.

Sorry there are no progress photos

as craft time is still limited.

Head over to our blog and check out

what creativity is in store for you there by the Team.

Be inspired and join in with your Mixed Media

Case a DT Week!

It's our Case a DT Week at Just Us Girls 

and our week to make whatever we fancy

for you to choose one of the DT makes and case it.

Just be sure to say who's card you chose.

I got out my favourite Visible Image Stamp Set

Creative Chaos. I love that big flower as it is

an easy one to add a popped head as I have done here.

The background and flower head are from 

a shaving cream session some time ago. 

Inked the flower with VersaFine Clair Nocturne

 then popped the cut out head highlighting

with another piece with more colour.

Inked the edges and added strips of black

with a credit card -

(thanks to Karen Dunbrook who showed us this trick)

Added a little bling to the flower with Lindy's Marvel-ous EP.

Finished with sentiment inked and torn from the set.

Head over to our Gallery to see what the Team created

and choose the one you want to case.

Looking forward to seeing yours there also.

Thanks for visiting.

Don't Ruffle My Feathers!

 Today's post is for our New Challenge at Cut It Up

and we are looking for the popular

ANYTHING GOES!

I thought I would dig out an old favourite 

stamp/die set from SU and go with

Kraft card stock.Two feathers were inked with

VersaFine Clair and the third is vellum.

Inked the background with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment ink

and splatters for interest.

Finished with twine.

Simple sentiment that I thought fitted perfectly.

Check out the variety of lovelies created by

our Talented Team and then head over and

add your make to our Gallery.

Thanks for dropping by.

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and I have another 

oh so CAS one.

This isn't my first attempt - how hard is it to create

with something as simple as a stencil!

Today was thank goodness productive.

Stencil-ing was inked with Tim's Distress inks

from  ARTlorations.

Floral stamping with VersaFine Clair popped

and a little bit of ribbon was all it needed to complete.

Our Guest Bonnie and the Team have been busy

creating lovely cards so head over and check them out.

Then your turn to add to our Gallery.

I Picked These!

Time for more fun this week at Just Us Girls  for our

 Mood Board Challenge chosen by our Host the Lovely Lisa.

Here's a close up!

and so much to pick from eh!

I couldn't go past the lovely daisies.

The background is a mix of Lindy's Magical's then

 heat embossed a few circle dies,

more magical's in the centre of the daisies -

the larger one popped.

Simple sentiment and framed with a piece of

leftovers from another card and attached to card base.

The bees are certainly humming over on our blog

with our Guest and the Team so head over and 

see for yourself then it's your turn to buzz on over

with your inspiration from the gorgeous Mood Board.

See you there.

We are 'Thinking of You' at Cut It Up.

 I'ts time for our New Challenge at

Cut It Up

I am still getting my craft creativity back slowly

after the big move.

The hardest part is remembering where things

are in their new spot.

I had a piece of pretty w/c paper on my desk and
made for a nice cut out.

Added  a couple of stamens and a pearl to the centre.

Background is a touch of Tim's stencilling for added interest.

Sentiment is simply Thinking of You.

I had the edges of the w/c paper so cut two pieces

and angled them behind my die cuts

Head over and check out what the

Talented Design Team created for your pleasure
