There's 'No Card' Today

 The heading says it all!

However there is something else.

I am hosting our Wild Card Week

over at Just Us Girls 

and looking for Anything But a Card

With five Saturday's in the month we have our

Wild Card where the Host has free range to choose!

There are so many ways you can use your creativity

as you can see below. 

I thought I would share a little 4x4 Mixed Media Canvas

in a fairly simple way. 

The canvas has gesso added which makes everything

you add after that 'stick'.

I textured/coloured up my canvas and 

some paddle pop stick for the fence

 then started adding bits and bobs.

These include bits of bark from the yard,

dried flowers and seeds from a bouquet I was given,

The centre of the blue flower (from my stash)

is actually the centre from the seeds.

Added some cheese cloth, 

a few leaf dies and  art stones.

So you see Mixed Media can be

fairly easy by adding things you may have

around the house. It's fun just to experiment.

My kind of relaxation while others

love to dabble in colouring images.

Pop over and see how everyone

chose to play this week.

We also say good bye to our lovely Guest Chrissie

who inspired us greatly with her talents. 

Thank You for joining us this month.

tis the Season - Christmas that is!

 We are back after after having a wee break at

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge.

Our Challenges are always Anything Goes Christmas.

I so love Tim's Mini Holiday Green's Dies

and I have cut a few of them after inking up

my watercolour paper with a few Lindy's Magical

Sprays and Powders.

I also cut three different sized paper pieces

as a backing.

Found some cotton and attached that

adding coloured beads.

Flicked some splatters, added my sentiment,

corner rounded

and added to my card base.

The paper is Metallic Galaxy

which has a lovely silver shimmer.

That's another Christmas Card to add

to my growing stash.

So good to not be panicked late in the year

with NO Christmas cards ready to send.

How about you - Have you started yet?

Christmas in July is a great starting point.

Pop over and see what the Team have chosen

to share and add yours to our Gallery.

Thanks for dropping in.
