It's Mixed Media Time.

 How time flies when you are having fun!

I have been away holidaying for Mother's Day

Family Birthdays and meeting my new Great Granddaughter

so my craft time is just getting back to some normality.

Our New Anything Goes Challenge over at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Blog

has gone live!

As it happens when you spend time away

Mo and Jo seem to tend to come back slowly.

My Mixed Media project luckily was started

while I had my girlfriend visiting and we 

didn't get to finish what we had started so -

that gave me a head start before Mo and Jo returned.

The background and stamped dragonfly from

Visible Image Live in the Moment

were the starting point to go for my simple tag.

Adding Little Birdie stencilled background with DecoArt textured sand paste,

reinking and fussy cutting my dragonfly.

Grungy text stamping from STAMPlorations and AALL&Create.

Washi tape  and sentiment also AALL&Create.

Finished with popping the cut and coloured dragonfly,

 black cotton, posca pen splatters,

 Art Alchemy waxes and a purple backing.

Head over and see what inspiration awaits you in our

Gallery from the Talented Designers.

Hope you can join in with yours this month.

Thanks for dropping in and commenting.

Guest Designing at Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I am thrilled to have been invited to be a Guest Designer

for  Challenge #211 at

Tic Tac Toe Challenge with a 'Crafty Twist'

using three elements from their Mood Board.

Which way will you go with this one below?

Everybody loves butterflies don't they?

As you can see I went with top right, middle and bottom left.

(butterfly, die cut and embossing)

I have just got back from a family holiday so went CAS.

My background is using the shaving cream technique

 inking the Carabelle Studio Libellules & Palillions

Butterfly stamp with Versafine Clair Nocturne 

and Heat Embossed clear.

My die cut sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

Framed and attached to coloured card base.

I also had a girlfriend visiting for some time

 having fun delving into all things creative.

The background for the top card was one of those days.

This card above is one we played with together

after purchasing the Woodware Mini Flower Silhouettes

 I was happy to be able to use it here for the middle row of

(pink, die cut and stencil)

I had already made a card similar

but in different colours Here

All I needed to do with this one was

add a die cut sentiment, a small pearl, 

and a yellow strip on the side before attaching to card base.

The pink flower was inked and heat embossed.

Added some splatters.

Stencilled background is from Clear Scraps Diamonds

and sentiment CUTplorations.

Head over Here

and see what three elements the Talented Designers

chose to inspire you with and add yours to the Gallery.

A big Thank You for inviting me to be your Guest.

 

A Colourful Floral Happy Birthday

I recently had a girlfriend visiting for quite some time

and we had a whole lot of fun creating in so many different ways.

The card I present here is one we made together.

I wanted her to have fun with the layers of the Honey Bee Coneflower Die.

As it worked out it is perfect for the challenges at

Seize the Birthday 

Challenge #262 Make it POP!

and

Double D Challenges for Flowers

We played with a whole lot of different coloured

Lindy's Magical's and each chose the ones we liked together.

Embossed the bottom half using Quickuts Diamonds and Dots 

attached ribbon and layered up my

brightly coloured conflower.

Think it pops with colour and dimension!

The variegated Happy Birthday sentiment is

one my girlfriend bought while here.

It was a whole lot of fun creating this card with my friend.

PS after they left here we met up again when I

spent a few weeks with my daughter for celebrations 

and soaking up the sunshine and warmth in the north

before coming home to the start of winter.

Thanks for coming to visit and leaving 

your kind comments - so appreciated.
