DT call for Creative Expressions

Creative Expression are having a DT call until Friday 31st August so thought I'd give it a shot .
The  brief is to make anything you like but must include texture and stamping so I looked to some of my favourite challenges for inspiration The Craft Barn would like you to use one of the colouring techniques from the blog and I choose Neils which was to use distress markers, the stamp I choose from Lost Coast Designs lent it's self perfectly.
Sir Stampalot's theme is take flight well I have the bird so now I have used the butterfly embossing folder from Craft Concepts for my texture, a touch of distress inks to make the butterflies pop and some black soot around the edge, the background I made a while ago with gesso and watercolour crayons. Other stamps used are Tim Holtz and Woodware

Wish me luck and thanks for taking the time to pop by :)

Lazy summers day Week 24 at Just for Fun

Here we are at the second week of Zoe's choice of materials at Just for fun and one you will all be familiar with, it's corrugated card found in strong cardboard box's by tearing off the top layer you know the sort you can get from the super market or you can use the thinner craft corrugated card that comes in different colours . I choose to use both on my project.

After removing the top layer which came off very cleanly wish it hadn't lol I paint with household paint, the nice thing about the craft on is you can punch shapes out of it, I then highlighted the raised bits with a silver dabber, the face I made in a mould with air dry clay and painted with distress rock candy.

I thought I was only joking when I said I be getting wet last Thursday as it was a day of heavy showers and we were at Alnwick Garden admiring the water features lol by the way they have the most amazing loos

Hope you will have lots of fun with this weeks challenge and look forward to seeing you take on the theme .

I'm also entering this to Sir Stampalots anything goes

magic in the air

I wanted to do a brayerd tag for a swap and I think it just fits in with Sir Stampalot's challenge of a magical world.
Brayed with big and juicy and water stamped with a fern the stamp, the image I've used is from Creative Stamping you can't see it in the photo but there's a little perfect pearls on her and I have bleached out the flower all edged with a silver pen .
Thanks for stopping by :)

A quick edit as I see it's the Craft-rooms first challenge and it's anything goes.

Good luck to the new team :)
