It's Special!

Time for Just Us Girls Challenge and

Vicki is Hosting our Word Week.

FLOWERS!

Our Gallery is going to be full of beautiful cards - 

shame we can't smell them.

We welcome our May Guest Designer

Deborah Wheeler!

This card is special because it is for 

my granddaughter who's turning 30

and the flowers featured here are Tim Holtz Wildflowers

I purchased from her Christmas gift certificate

(and you haven't seen the last of them yet) ...

Chosen colours are blue tones - her favourite.

When this goes live we will be

celebrating two birthday's and 

a baby shower. Then Mother's Day Sunday

with one daughter travelling from North Queensland

for all the celebrations.

***

Added a texture plate die to the background

adding my floral arrangement.

The 30 is an old CB die adhered to a

cross stitched nesting arch with

matching cotton tucked behind it and a

punched heart to finish.

Can't wait to see the Gallery full of flowers.

Our Guest Deborah and the Team have gone all out

  floral so hope you will too and

add to Our Gallery. You could be our

Chic of the Week!

Art is Therapy

Today's post is for the new Anything Goes Challenge at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

and here is my project.

It's always fun using different mediums

to create whatever comes to mind or planned.

Often it changes as you progress.

I did manage to take a few photos along the way.

As you do with Mixed Medium there are lots of products

to play around with.

Sorry about the quality of this photo but I had

an overhead light on and wanted to show you

the lovely stamp I used.

You know the background is full of

wonderful bright Magical colours as it's a favourite of mine.

Using a stencil again from AALL&Create

I applied the smooth as silk butter.

Of course I got carried away after that and added

crackle paste through another stencil,

AA wax, more stamping and inky dots.

Butterfly is a Sizzix die

coloured with Magicals, a touch of wax and 

Sentiment also from AALL&Create

smooched and torn.

Adhered to black card base.

Here's a few more close ups

Head over and see what my Team Mates created this month. 

We would love to see you join us.

Heading over to add to the Gallery at Mixed Media Lovers Blog
