We've reached #500 at Just Us Girls

WOW! What a milestone we have reached at

Just Us Girls

It's our #500th Challenge!

How special is that...

Vicki is our Host and chose

I had a play and made 2 cards - and in very different styles.

This one is pretty basic and an old style layout

with just circles cut in different sizes

from DP using Spellbinder dies.

The sentiment is one I have had for years and is from

Lily of the Valley. 

I got a very very early Birthday parcel from my BFF
and had those life changing brushes in it so of course I had to
try them out - and they are as everyone says - life changing.
So dreamy to use.
I used Oxide Inks on the background then some grungy stamping
from STAMPlorations
inking a Tim Holtz flower cutting the same flower die in black
and added some white dots for effect.
The circles are stenciled with modeling paste.
Sentiment from Altenew.

Come over and see how Tristan and the Team
used Circles on their card and join us for our
Special Celebrations.
There are prizes to be won from

Mixed Media Project for Random Arts

Hello and Welcome. 

It's my turn to showcase what I have made 

for the latest Mood Board Challenge at Random Arts

As you can see I went with the florals.

I started my project with a 5inch x 7inch canvas

sealing it with Gesso. After that was dry I

added texture with Tim Holtz Distress Grit Paste 

with my AB Studio Stencil

I also added some Dreamweaver Crackle Paste

then on to some colours.

and the composition.

Here I applied the Little Birdie Paste to two

bamboo sticks from our Bunnings Store

and on I go to

placing the frame, some cheesecloth and those sticks.

Here I added waxes to the frame, a little heart and the stick ends.

Also playing around with some of the flowers I would use.

Continuing on - adding the little heart to the centre of the frame

and the placement of the flowers.

They are from Little Birdie

49andMarket and Kaisercraft

The tiny flowers are from

Tim Holtz Heirloom Roses.

Finishing off with a scattering of pearls.

I have used a multitude of inks/sprays etc overall.

The background is waxed with Finnabair Peacock/Vintage Gold

as are some of the flowers.

They also have Tim Holtz Distress Glitter and inside the frame.

Other items used are

Lindy's Caribbean Blue and Tiffany Lou Blue Sprays

Distress Oxide Spray in Broken China

Nuvo Shimmer Powder - Blue Blitz

Finnabair Mermaid Sparks Acrylic Paint.

Here are some close ups

All inks/sprays/glitter/waxes/flowers/frame and resin heart

are available at the Random Arts Store - 

a locally owned store

I'll be back later in the month with another project
