Be True to You...

I am Host at Just Us Girls for Colour Week and chose

Mustard Turquoise and Black.

Welcome to March and our New Guest Designer

Michele Ferguson.

I was having a play with shaving cream and stencils 

a while back and these colours work perfectly together

You all know I love making backgrounds.

Here is a close up of the layered flower.

Flower, Stencil, Sentiment and background stamping 

are from AALL&Create.

Flower head has been cut three times as you can see

from the close up.

Added thread to the background - 

something Tracy Evans the designer of the

stamp I used does regularly.

Placed a black pearl to centre of the flower.

Backed by black frame overlapping the white card base.

Finished with a simple sentiment.

Head on over and see what our Guest Michele

and The Team created using the colours I chose

and hope you get a chance to add yours to the Gallery.

You could be chosen Chic of the Week

and go on to be our Guest in May.

A Trio of Butterflies...

Hello and Welcome to my post for our 

New Anything Goes Challenge 

at Creative Artiste Mixed Media

For my project and inspiration 

I had a fun but somewhat messy time

(as you do with Mixed Media)

creating three very different  ATC's.

You know me as always I start off taking photos

and get carried away creating and forget along the way.

I started here with torn tissue paper pasted onto my

three ATC's (which disappeared in the end)

then added texture with a favourite stencil

from AALL&Create.

As I had butterflies out for another challenge

I decided to use up a few more here.

After the texture paste dried I added 

Lindy's Magical's in different colours

for each ATC and let it run in various directions.

Collected elements to add to the backgrounds

with inked lace, sisel, cotton thread and a piece of coloured bark.

Coloured the butterfly with the same Magical's

to match the bark

and added a bead to the centre.

Added glossy accents to the butterfly wings.

and added a gem to the centre here.

Finished with some inking on the edges

a little coloured backing and sentiment

from Tim's Small Talk.

Hope you will pop over and see

what was created for you from

our Guest Designers and the Talented Team.
