Just Us Girls 'Word Week'

Hello and Welcome to our May Challenges for

Just Us Girls

As we begin our month we start with a

New Guest Designer. Welcome to

Deborah Frings from

https://debsgems.blogspot.com/

Our Host this week is Nancy and chose a 

most appropriate word which at this trying time -

we all have them.

I know the Gallery will be full of wonderful

creations supporting all those incredible 

essential service people in a variety of ways.

I made my card really simple by using
this free image from https://florafaunaclear.com/
 adding dp embossed with Geometric
 by We R Memory Keepers for the background
and die cut a MFT stitched circle.
  Cut and punched lots of pretty flowers and leaves
then finished with some bling in the centres.
Pop over and see how Deborah and the Team
chose to say Thank You to a Hero.
Come join us in our Gallery.

Mixed Up Masking

Time for the new Challenge over at

Mix It Up and this month our

Anything Goes Option is - Masking

So many ways to go about this technique

but I decided to mask either side and go with

showcasing my Mix of Flowers.

Those that frequent my blog know how much I love

to play with my Lindy's Magical's and they do make

amazing backgrounds.

See what I mean!

On to my layers of flowers.

First up I stenciled Tim Holtz Wild Flower 

with Distress Crackle Paint in Clear Rock Candy 

which didn't impress me much so

inked up one of the flowers with VersaClair Fallen Leaves

and heat embossed clear slightly to the side.

I then smooched more flowers and die cut adding on top.

All three layers are from Tim's Wild Flowers -
stencil, stamps and dies.

Threw on some splatters left over on my mat.

Inked my sentiment from Woodware Gone to Seed

with the Fallen Leaves then ran a pen down both sides 

of my masking. 

Attached to purple card stock.

(How hard it is to get a good colour photo wise)

After I made this card I had second thoughts about
the masking technique
and made another in the more traditional style.

Again I used Magical's with Twinkling H2O
and Nuvo Drops on my masked flowers which are
STAMPlorations Bloom Doodles
Sentiment is from Bloomful inked in
SU Calypso Coral and Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn.
Lightly smooched background.
I thought the sentiment perfect for this trying time.

That's my Designer's Makes for this month at

Pop over and see how the rest of the Team

chose to inspire you and come join in the fun.

Love to see you in our Gallery this month.

A Simple Mixed Media Piece for Creative Artiste

I don't know where the time went this month and
I have been been caught out with making a project for
Creative Artiste

so what I had planned didn't happen.

Hello and Welcome!

I had this piece started some time ago

and has been sitting around waiting for me to finish

so this was a golden opportunity to do so.

Sorry there is no 'how I made this' 

just products I used.

Lindy's Magicals 

Nuvo Powders/Drops

Dream Weaver Crackle Paste

Which Craft Do You Do Stencil
(Australian Company)

Numerous stamps from
STAMPlorations and That's Crafty
VersaFine Clair Inks
Check out what my Team Mates made and
join in The Gallery this month.

Thanks for dropping in.
Will be more organized for next month's make.
Till then Cherrio from

Who's waiting for SPRING?

Today's post is for the May Stencil Challenge at

STAMPlorations.

Hello and Welcome.

This was a simple process. I used the

shaving cream technique through the

ARTplorations Bloomdalascopic #1 stencil

with SU re-inkers in Mossy Meadow and Calypso Coral,

Once dry I sprayed with a mix of Perfect Pearls.

Attached this to a cardboard back for stability

which by the way is the same size as the stencil.

Scored and inked around the edges

Added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the circles

and finished with one of the

April-Showers-Clear-Stickers

and tied with some lace from my stash.

Pop over and see all the makes from

The STAMPloration Family.

Hope you get a chance to make something

for our Stencil Challenge and add to the Gallery

and the Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge.

Just make sure you link back to the challenge and

add the graphic above to be eligible for the prizes.

Thanks for dropping in.

I will be back midway with a reminder post for you.

Till then Stay Safe.

Live - Laugh - Love

Time just seems to be flying by and it is already May!

Our Watercolor Challenge for Happy Little Stampers

is now Live!

I took the easy way out here after finding the above piece

already made up in my bit box and simply attached it to 

my optional embossed background gently inked in grey.

Unfortunately I didn't think to add any details to the back

for the future (which is now) so will try and do that

from now on.

Pop over and see what's in store from the 

Talented Designers and come join in the fun this month.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks for dropping in. Love reading your thoughts!
