Happy Birthday 'Roar'

It's a New Month and the start of our challenges at

Just Us Girls and a New Guest.

Welcome to Fran Wing 

We start with Word Week and Hosting is Nancy

with MAMMALS

  

I chose to feature a Lion inking in black 

and clear embossed.

This is where my plans changed

going with a colourful background 

using Tim's Oxides Black Brusho's

and Lindy's Screamin' Banshee Black

which really shows up with the blue shimmer

and hard to photograph.

Die cut and framed in black.

Sentiment and Lion are from Happy Little Stampers.

Popped onto black card base.

Head over and see what mammal our Guest Fran

and my Team Mates chose to feature

and we would love to see yours

in our Gallery.

You could be our Chic of the Week and

in the running to be our Guest in September.

Thanks for dropping in

Flowers are Nature's Blessings

Today's post is for the New Anything Goes

Mixed Media Challenge over at

Craft time has been hit and miss lately with lots happening

on the farm. Lucky what I made came together easily

and I even managed to take some photos along the way.

It wasn't what I planned but time wasn't on my side -

so going with a CAS Mixed Media make.

Here's a quick run down on how it came together

and the products I used.

The background with Magical's and adding washi tape

After random stamping around the edges

I inked the flowers on tissue paper and coloured.

Diluted gesso was added before adhering

the flowers with gel medium.

black background to complete.
