You are my 'SUNSHINE'

Hello and Welcome to today's post for
Just Us Girls
This weeks host is Maria choosing a word that
should bring a smile everyone's face.
As it is a new month we have a New Guest Designer.
Welcome Mugdha from  craftomania123.blogspot.com/

We all love to get out in the sunshine especially
at the moment with restrictions abounding.

Maybe you could go in a different way by

showing someone how they bring sunshine into your life
like I did here.

Tim Holtz Rays Stencil did all the work here.
I simply inked with VersaFine Clair
Cheerful and Summertime then sprayed a little with
 Lindy's Glory of the Sea Gold Spray for shimmer.
Cut out my Sentiment Die from CUTplorations several times
and swiped with the inks above getting a variegated look.
Added some diamond dust to the centre of the O.
Attached to a small white frame and on to yellow card base.
Simple but striking!
Thanks for dropping in.
Don't forget to check out what our Guest Mugdha
and the Team created and add yours make
to our Gallery.

Sea Shells by the Sea Shore

Hello and Welcome.

Today's post is for the new Anything Goes Challenge

(using multiple mediums) 

   at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge

This time round I decided to visit the seaside since

winter is fast approaching - trying to hang on to 

the warm and delights of the sea.

Started off with gesso then texture paste for dimension.

Sprayed with Lindy's Magical's, adding some

plaster's tape and on to my sea shell arrangement.

Added lots of bits and bobs -

Art Alchemy Art Stones and Waxes,

Glitter, Derivan Mica Flakes and Bauxite,

Tiny beads and Nuvo Stone Drops.

Pop over and see what the rest of the 

Talented Team created for your pleasure this month

and hope to see you in our Gallery.

Thanks for dropping in

Till next time - Cherrio from

'Hello' there

Most people that know me will be aware of

how much I love adding texture to my makes and 

this is what I have done here with one of my 

newest favourite stencils from Tim Holtz.

Hello and Welcome to Addicted to Stamps and More

for their make Your Mark Challenge.

My stencil mark has been applied with texture paste.

The leaf in from Gina K inked with 

SU Mossy Meadow. Sentiment is Altenew.

Corner is punched  and inked also with the Mossy Meadow.

Added a white punched flower and a pearl to the centre.

the pearl spray in the background is from my stash.

Attached to white card base.

Acrylic Block Stamping for Mix It Up

Hello and Welcome to today's post for

Mix It Up. 

This month we are looking for some

Acrylic Block Stamping with our

Anything Goes Challenge.

Before I go any further if you are a regular visitor 

I must explain why you are seeing this card

when only a few days ago you saw the same stamps

 and with similar colours!

This one was made for the above challenge,

blogged and scheduled quite some time ago.

***

Once more I have played with one of my

favourite stamp sets Creative Chaos

from Visible Image.

Don't you just love that grungy black frame?

My good friend Aussie aNNie created it for me

making my card look extra nice. Thanks Annie.

I did my stamping a little different by

inking my SU colours of 

Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey

onto the edge of  my acrylic block and swiping

in different directions. Also added some extra swiping 

just by inking the fine edge like you would with a credit card.

I then inked my main flower and

around the edges with stamps from the set above. 

Using some of the shaving cream leftovers I 

coloured my paper for the cut flower head and then again

 with a smaller cut and popped both.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

Attached to SU Groovy Guava card stock.

Hope you like my make and pop over

to see what my Team Mates created then

come join in the Gallery this month.

Stencil Time at STAMPlorations

Hello and Welcome. As it is the first of the Month

it's time for my post for the

 June Stencil Challenge at STAMPlorations

For this challenge I decided to  head back and use

a few of the older stencils and the main focus is on one of my favourites
 ARTplorations Flowers 1 Stencil.

I started my background smooching with

 Autumn Maple Crimson Magical's

then added Texture Paste through the 

ARTplorations Dots All Over Stencil

and while wet sprinkled some Martha Stewart glitter.

(You may need to click on it to get a better view)

On to my topping. I used the

 ARTplorations Plaid Maker Stencil

randomly then the flowers with texture paste.

After that was dry I put the flower stencil back and

sponged a mix of the above Magical's

and Lindy's Bougainvillea Fuchsia.

To highlight the flowers I added Art Alchemy Indian Pink Wax.

Distressed the edges and added a small popped frame.

Sentiment is from 

STAMPlorations OUT-OF-STOCK Bloom Happy

Finished by adding to white card base.

Here are the products I used

Hope you like my colourful make.

Check out all the art work from all the Designers

and would love to see your stenciled creation

in our Gallery this month.

Time to 'Layer' it Up at Happy Little Stampers

Can you believe we are half way into the year!

I know I can't. 

Our Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers

starts with our Watercolour Challenge.

This month our Anything Goes Option is Layers

Every now and then it is nice to go back to a technique

or something in your stash that is a favourite.

This is what I did here. I got out two that go so well together - 

SU Manhattan Flower EF and Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set.

Heat embossed the flowers in white then watercoloured  with

Nuvo Powders and fussy cut, popping up the smaller one .

This was attached to hand cut Manhattan Flower.

To add more layers I added more dry embossing with

Kaisercraft Leaves with paper to blend with the flower.

Corner rounded for effect. 

To finish my card I added Diamond Dust to the

 embossed background and front flower

instead of adding a sentiment.

Finished by adhering to my white card base.
