hello my lovelies

well i am so late posting this challenge post im going to call it a mid week reminder post LOL

im naughty i know, but in all honestly its a wonder im even posting , how can moving 2 rooms around and decorating turn your whole life upside down! its like moving house all over again, though i can see a little light at the end of this tunnel now .

so onto the post, the new challenge started over on 

Glitter n Sparkle 

on sunday,  and a theme i usually struggle with, (though not as much as white on white)

Black & white

i love this image and i'm relatively pleased with the finished card, though i think my skin could have been a tad better coloured

the image is from 

Bugaboo and is called beautiful fairy

as you can see i kept it all quite simple, a bit of mat and layering and the image coloured with spectrum noir pens and pencils, then a bit of glitter and bling to finish it off

so the info you need is 

sponsors

 Stitchy Bear Stamps $10 gift Cert  ,

 Bugaboo 7 images from their store 

ok so off you go get your makes in

hugs

oh and guess who won over at left of centre! yes me!

was a wonderful surprise thanks guys 

hi guys another day another challenge :)

todays is for

 Glitter n Sparkle

and the theme is 

gems and glitter

i have to confess i got it wrong with my make as pearls are not 

technically a gem, and i totally forgot to  glitter the bubbles !!

but here it is anyway , 

my image is from 

Arora Wings and its called Secret kisses

i started with an 8x8 canvas which i painted and then layered with tissue paper printed with coral reif images, and a grungy overlay, the edges are sponges in a mix of white black and purple lilac acrylic.

the image was printed and coloured in with spectrum noir pens and then pencils , once she was fussy cut and glued down i then added more seaweed printed fussy cut tissue paper which added depth.

the i added droplets of triple thick glaze to give the bubble effect and of course no mermaid should be without pearls, i finished off by adding tiny pearls to her hear with liquid pearls.

i know she doesn't quite fit the theme (sorry) but i kinda love how it came out .

so now over to you give it a go, but don't forget the gems and glitter LOL

hugs 

our wonderful sponsor Aurora Wings is offering a $10 gift cert

hi guys 

there is a new challenge at 

That Craft Place

the theme is 

Inspired by a film

I chose one of my faves

Hocus Pocus

i started with some tan colour card, which i made to look leather like using Sheena Douglas's technique you can find on you tube, i then ripped it, and sewed it back together , this is like the magic book in the film, i then printed out an eye and gradually raised it to eye shape using layers of  tripple thick gloss glaze. once the eye was dry i stuck it down and covered it with some more of the tan leathered card and slit it to look like eye lids  :/ sadly it doesn't show too well in the pic.

next i took the film strip added scenes from the film and printed it out, i printed the woeds in the bubbles, glazed and cut out, same with the cauldron .

the sanderson sisters are from Sassy Studio's

i finished it off with a couple of shiny corner die cuts.

and there you have my inspired by a film make.

hope you come and play along x

hello beautiful people of blog land

its a new challenge fortnight at 

That craft place

the theme is

Anything goes

my offering is an altered bottle

i had been to the walpaper shop, and found the perfect paper, so brought home a sample to show hubby, it met with approval so off i went and bought said paper and some paint to match.

well i had this lovely but very sadly empty Amaretto bottle.

well whats a girl to do with a lovely shaped bottle, some wallpaper samples and a slap of paint!

well make a bit of pretty for the new room of course! lol

i started by painting the bottle with a couple of coats of gesso, then a coat of the bedroom paint, finished off with a quick coat of gesso wiped over with tissue to reveal the colour .

then  i added images from the paper sample, sticking them to the bottle with deco mache.

i had some rolled roses i had made, some foam roses and some little china roses i thought went well together, the lace is an applique cut from a wedding dress, i added this to the bottom and around the neck of the bottle.

the back of the bottle was also decorated with the paper , then the flowers where added on the bottom and a couple to the neck.

if you look closely at the first image you can just about see the sprinkling of tiny gems randomly stuck over the bottle

i dont think one bottle on its own will look too good do you ;)

(hey its a valid excuse for more amaretto )

now its over to you come join in the fun after all with the anything goes theme you can play to your hearts content x

with few or no worries xx

and so to my first post of the year

the image is from Wee Stamps and i adore her, but sadly i think wee stamps are one of the digi companys who has stopped trading over the vat thing because try as i might i couldn't find a link to the shop that worked , extremely sad .

the base card is just a plaine white which i have coloured with Broken China Distress ink, then mat with a pretty digi paper from Cuddly buddly,

then another piece of card coloured with the Distress ink, and the image which has been coloured with Spectrum noir pens and pencils, was mat onto this piece, then i glittered the wings with glamour dust. its then finished off with some lace and gem trim flowers and a doily, all avaliable from That Craft Place, also just a mention if you are loving your colouring, give their super smooth a try its beautiful, i havent had any bleeding at all even with the really juicy spectrums, fab price too .

make sure you pop over to the challenge blog and check out the other girls dt makes i have to say they really have outdone themselves on the mono samples .
