Guest Designer at Try It On Tuesday

I was thrilled to be invited to be a 

Guest Designer at  Try It On Tuesday

after being chosen as a Top 5 at a recent challenge.

How awesome that their New Challenge is to

Use a Stencil.

Those that know me are well aware of how I

love using my stencils is all different ways.

For my Guest card I used a fabulous stencil from

Scrapmats - ST9088.

I started by adding texture paste to my heavy card base.

Once dry I got out my Lindy's Magical's

and let the colours run through the cracks

to achieve the gorgeous colours.

My dragonfly is from ARTplorations, die cutting

the main image from leftovers on my glass mat.

Cut one again only using the wings and body

for added dimension.

She was popped on top of cheesecloth

and finishing with a vellum sentiment

from STAMPlorations. 

Adhered to matching bright card stock.

Have you been over to check how the

talented TIOT Design Team chose to stencil?

Hope so and  inspired you to create yours 

and add to the Gallery.

Thanks for dropping by for a visit and commenting.

Dream - Create - Inspire

 Over at Try It On Tuesday their current challenge is

Rainbow Colours

I love going all bright with these colours as you see below.

I have used Brusho's for the background and 

stamps from AALL&Create and my favourite

Visible Image - Creative Chaos inked, heat embossed

and the head of the flower cut and coloured.

Added a few pretty butterflies and 

inked up sentiments to complete.

Attached to bright card base.

Going Green!

Welcome to my post for Sisterhood Of Crafters

We are looking a little Green - could it be

some people are thinking 

The Luck of the Irish!

I usually do but went in a different direction.

Once again I found a lovely background in my bits box

and a little Mixed Media was created with

stamping and stenciling the background

then inking up this lovely tree

and sentiment from STAMPlorations -  Wild and Free

Distressed the edges and inked in black,

adhering to green card base.

Head over to The Sisterhood and check out how my

Talented Mates chose to use GREEN on their projects.

Hope to see yours there.

#Update Sending this card over to

Try it on Tuesday as they are also looking GREEN 

Here

Thanks for visiting

With Love!

 I have a quick post today for a couple of challenges.

Over at Color Hues this time round  the colours   

Red and Aqua got my attention 

and as I had butterflies around my desk the

Clean and Simple on Sunday have a fun  Butterfly Challenge 

I thought CAS and Colour would be a nice match up.

My background is some simple 

partial stamping from AALL&Create

and randomly coloured with the required red and aqua.

Fussy cut butterfly is the same.

To add interest I embossed it with a frame die

attaching it to the card base

after adding a simple sentiment. 

This card is heading over to the above Challenges.

and an Update!

Try it on Tuesday  Butterfly Challenge

Thanks for your visit and I love reading your thoughts.

Sharing the Love for Try It On Tuesday

The New Challenge Theme over at

Try It On Tuesday is Share The Love

I'm not a Valentine type person so went

for a simple Love You card that I can

 give to someone special.

I played with my favourite Visible Image

Creative Chaos Stamp Set and enjoyed going grungy.

I started with my background smooching

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke.

Added some grunge stamping from STAMPlorations

and then painted down one side with 

diluted black gesso.

Heat embossing first with Zing Charcoal

then that gorgeous flower with Ranger Black.

Did the same again on watercolour paper

that had been inked with Lindy's Powders and Brusho's.

Attached the popped flower after I

added Nuvo Glitter in red.

Flicked some ink and coloured some of the

circles with Liquid Pearls.

Sentiment is from Altenew.

Corner rounded one side and attached to

basic white card stock.

Here's a close up.

I'm not sure if this is CAS enough for the

CAS Watercolour Challenge but no harm

in adding to the Gallery for the red and black theme,

and most of all I had 'fun' making it.

Thanks for dropping in to check my card out.

Love reading your comments.

Till next time Cherrio from

Fly High 'Grunge'

Hello and Welcome to today's post.

I thought I would play along and join in the Gallery for the

White Space or Colourful Grunge over at

Try it on Tuesday.
When I saw this challenge my choice was to go with

Colourful Grunge as I love that style.

I did have a lot of fun with this as I had no idea

what the end result would be. 

I used a variety of Lindy's Magical's for my background

and umteen stencils and stamps -
too many to mention for my layout.

Over at The Sisterhood of Crafters their challenge is
Newly Acquired Stash
. Check it out Here

The new products I used are
STAMPlorations Winged Things and
Art Alchemy Such a Drip Stencil (ST6555538)

Thanks for dropping in today.
