Cut it Up Fun Fold...

Our Cut It Up Challenge Theme

for end of the month is to make a

FUN FOLD Creation.

Mine isn't a fancy fold type but was fun to make -

and not at all what I had planned.

The fold part was but it all changed when I went looking

for some DP to use as a background but

it went as my feature point instead.

The DP  I used with the front feature folded.

Using the DP with the cuts from left to right.

Started with the arch dies with SU Mossy Meadow 

and the backing

then Hello Honey and the DP

I added die cuts to blend in.

The word die cuts were a bonus as part of the

Kaisercraft Paradiso and cut out by hand.

Attached to the back to complete.

The Design Team have been very creative

with their choice of fun folds so head over

and check them all out and join in with

your fun fold make to our Gallery.

'JOY '

 It's our Last Challenge of the Year at  Just Us Girls

as we take a break (and be back in the New Year)

after we refuel and spend time with Family and Friends

Sue is Host for our Stencil Challenge

I just had to get out my favourite Deer Stencil

from ARTplorations filling him and background up with

a good helping of texture paste mixed quickly with

Lindy's Jolly Roger Red before it dried up from the heat.

I did ink around him before that then added

 darker tones and more Lindy's.

Added tiny splatters for interest.

The 'joy' die is Tim's and die cut several times for depth

and I didn't lose the tiny dots.

Added a pearl for his eye.

Corner rounded one end and

attached to white card base.

Check out what our Guest Leslie created

for her last showing and the Team have also been

busy with a variety of stencil pieces to inspire you.

Hope you have been able to spend a bit of time 

with your stencils and share with us in our Gallery.

Thank you so much for all your comments

 and support over the year.

I look forward to creating for you again in the New Year.

A Merry Christmas to my Team Mates and to you all.
