Another Mixed Media Tag for Creative Artiste

It's time for our March Challenge at

   Creative Artiste Mixed Media

Once again I went with a tag theme.

I managed to take a few photos along the way - 

starting with my die cut tags

adding dp to both tags, adding some stencilling

to both tags also

sponged around the floral stencil to add more colour

then added some transparent texture paste

and inking the raised texture

Die cut the circle for the front of the tag

adding some random stamping and inking around the edges

Attached the dp to the kraft base after I die cut a

smaller circle then the same for the

inside floral tag and glued the pull out tag

Finally tucking the pull out tag in

and that's a wrap for this month's Mixed Media Make.

Head over to Our Blog to check out what

Mixed Media creations have been created

by our Guests Ella and Majda and of course

 the Talented Team for your pleasure.

It's  Just Us Girls Die Week Challenge and 

Our Host Carol M is asking for us to 

use our dies and create a Birthday Card.

Here is my CAS make.

The Happy Birthday dies are Tim's

with the unbranded boat placed on an angle for the A.

I have seen a few cards like this on Pinterest

and that is where the idea came from.

The Birthday stamping is from STAMPlorations.

Adding some sequins, framed in navy blue

on to white card base.

For You!

It's our Fun Stencil Week at Just Us Girls 

hosted by Sue.

Here is how I played

I used AALL&Create Cracked Wall stencil

with Ranger texture paste and Lindy's Black Orchid Silver

The paste was rather soft and 

went behind the stencil so I continued to

cover it completely using my finger

which gave it a nice effect.

The flower die is fromTim's Wildflowers

Sentiment was inked with the same

Lindy's Magical's .

Added a strip of shimmery washi tape

to ground the flower.

Adhered to white card base.

Head over and see how Stephanie

created her stencil card. As it is the last challenge

of the month. A big Thank You to Stephanie as our Guest

for sharing her talents with us.

The Team have also been very creative

so head over and check them all out.

Hope to see yours in the Gallery.

You are 'Special'

Time for our New Challenge over at Cut It Up

and we need it to be

Tied Up with - string, twine, ribbon

(you get the drift)

Here is mine using just a little cream crochet cotton.

Shame I didn't have white but it added another touch of colour.

An easy card using Tim's Wildflower Stems 1

all in white with greenery to the back. 

Added some tiny green splatters

that you will see below.

Attached to leathergrain card stock.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations

with the corner torn, adding a pearl to match

the crochet cotton.

Adhered to white card base.

and sentiment.

the Design Team created - hope

In the MOOD!

It's time for our Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls 

and our Host Elizabeth has chosen a 'pearler'

with so many fun ideas you won't know which one to go with.

and the larger view - 

My first thought was washi tape but didn't have any

enough bold bright colours so I dipped into 

my 'supply' of dp's, tearing the edges

and die cutting several circles and dots.

Die cut the sentiment shape to match the dp

and framed it. 

Sentiment from STAMPlorations fitted nicely.

Added a striped scrap to the side for a bit of extra colour

(a Cecile thing) to complete my card.

There are a lot of 'BRIGHT' ideas over on our Blog 

from our Guest Stephanie and my Creative Co Crafters

so head over and check them out.

I'm sure you will want to play with this fun Mood Board

so I will see yours in our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting!

A Forever Friend!

Hello and Welcome to thday's post for

Just Us Girls

It's our Word Week and as Host I chose FRIEND!

I got out a favourite retired SU SET - Botanical Blooms

die cutting my flowers with

 pretty metallic card stock.

Behind them is stampings from SU Timeless Textures

inked with Memento London Fog,

Added a touch of Nuvo Glitter Gloss

around the edges and pearls to the centres.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

Head over and see how our Guest Stephanie 

and the Team chose to showcase their 'Friend' cards

and join in with yours to our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

It's Original ART.

 Time has just flown by the last few months and

It's already Febraury. I am so thankful that we

take our break in January as I have had very little play time

with hubby in hospital - however he comes home in a few days

so will see how my days pan out with him needing full time care.

I need to get my project below scheduled before then.

I worked on this as time allowed so have few photos of the progress

but some closeups only and will endeavour to explain

how my tags upon tags were created.

Here are the bits and bobs -

lots going on here with the inked background

stencilled with AALL&Create. In fact the stampings

are all from them. Die cut lots of tags from

different suppliers. I knew I wanted to play with them!

Looking at where I am going to place items.

and continue on with the main tag

with cut out stamping and a tiny bit of washi tape on the side.

the corner with stamping and background stencilling

with inked edges.

the left corner with & die cut, tag on top

and lace attached to background tag.

bottom detail with finished tags with twine

and left tag has floral washi tape.

close up view of the bottom strip

with tiny tags that have ric rack and inked art stones

 and pearl.

the back tag with a pink pearl.

and that is my completed MM multiple tag make.

It was so much fun, takng some time to pick

and choose with some items being discarded and

looking for alternatives.

The hardest was the main tag, in the end left the top as is.

Head over to our Mixed Media Blog and

check out the most amazing creative makes from

our Talented Team and

 introducing our New Oh So Talented Designer

Emma Philpott. 

We are excited to have Emma join us 

sharing her creations as part of our team.

This Makes Me 'Smile'

 I so love the 'Theme' for our latest challenge over at Cut It Up

My sister loved sunflowers so every tme I see them

I think of her and 'Smile'. 

Hence the reason for today's die cuts and sentiment.

I love usng corrugated cardboard so that was

the perfect backdrop (swiped with white gesso)

tearing the top and bottom for my

multi die cut popped sunflower

in shades of yellow/orange from Tim's Oxide's

and some shimmer from Nuvo Solor Flare.

Added twine to the back and green leaves

cut from the same set.

I embossed an old CB leaf folder with white card stock

adding background texture

and finished with a fussy cut 'smile' from STAMPlorations

onto white card base.

Head over and see what thoughts came to mind

for the Team's 'Smile' creations

and come join in with what makes you 'smile'

to our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

It's Love!
