Just Hello!

The Lovely Lisa is our Host this week at Just Us Girls

and it is our popular Anything Goes Stencil Challenge

I went with a CAS design here 

stencilling lightly with white texture paste

onto kraft card stock cut on an angle for interest.

The flower is die cut several times and

 layered for depth in white 

to match the background.

Added a textured die from Kaisercraft

behind the flower.

STAMPloration sentiment is torn 

and popped.

Head over and see what our Guest Kellianne

and the Talented Team chose to 

showcase their stencils.

As this is the last challenge of the month

I want to thank Kellianne for sharing her talents

with us this month as our Guest.

It's All About The FLOWERS!

It's Just Us Girls Mood Board Week

and our Host is Denise with a 

beautiful array of Summer Flowers.

 

I cut out and coloured a bunch of Tim's Wildflowers

in all sorts of colours. Tied together with wax twine.

Background is from my bits box and added white gesso through

an AALL&Create stencil, die cut and popped with my arch frames.

Finished with a STAMPlorations sentiment

and adhered to green base.

This is flying over the other side of OZ for

my daughters birthday which happens to be Thursday.

There's flowers a plenty over on our blog

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...

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.
