Friendly plastic

In case you've missed it Sam did a wonderful tutorial on the Just For Fun challenge blog and also there have been more super ones on the Craft Barn, boo hoo to late for their challenge but hey ho never mind .
Everyone makes it look so easy lol, they say put oil on your finger so's not to leave finger prints I'd say rub it all over both hands but them I do get in a right old mess lol

I've used Sam's instruction for making a checkered patten note how neat and tidy hers is compared to mine yes touched it with the wrong finger, no roller so cover a tube with foil and wetted that opps a bit stuck anyway is made for an interesting patten . A brooche pin has been added to the back

Pocket full of sunshine

Over at Dragons Dream TIO it's something with a pocket and there is some lovely inspiration from the DT.
I want to play with the new D stains boy are they good for making stripes I used faded jeans and broken china and embossed with a CB folder and used a jeans pocket stamp from woodware, cut my suns on the silhouette and inkied with spice marmalade the face is from inakinado and the verse which says live in the moment and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering is one of TH

Just for Fun week 13

Here we are at my last week for of shapes and I hope you have enjoyed the adventure with us at Just for Fun

The team have done some great examples of triangles :)
I started just by cutting some triangles out of grunge board embossed them in folder and coloured with distress stains and clear embossing powder then just played around with the shape till I like the design nothing was preplaned and it all just fell into place with the tag made from corrigated packaging Sams influence on me :) coloured with gesso and colour wash sprays, it could be rays of the sun or a flower it's up to you but I did have fun making this one

Hope you will have as much fun with triangles as we have

Grungy Monday 4

Texture fades and Distress is the order of the day over at Studio L3 and if your wondering what it's all about then check out Tim video.
As I was looking through my folders yesterday morning the birds were singing and as I came the the brick one I could have sworn the pigeons were saying graffiti so that's what I did lol

The flower I wanted to look like weeds are tyvek, coloured with AI's and distressed with the heat gun .

Thanks for popping by

Wedding Atc's

I'd quite forgotten I had this stamp and found it lurking in the bottom of a box not sure who made the the stamp but if you know then please do tell :).

Stamped in versfine and coloued with distress inks, the frame which fits it perfectly is from Artemio.The veil has a wash of sukra clear star and dotted with the pen on the flowers.

A more modern feel to this one, again no idea who the stamp is from but have used just part on the image and bleached out the bride and groom , I used water colour pencils, H2o's for the bells and I little flower soft

Hip to be Square week 12 at Just for fun challenge

Ok you can breath easy this week as it's squares at Just for Fun, so many thanks to those of you who rose to the star challenge :)

So this week I'm asking you to think of squares 1 or many just make them the main feature of your art. I have chosen to make 2, a card with a background stamp from Hero arts. Stamp in black and embossed with a holographic powder on a brayerd glossy card, I then removed some of the colour from the squares and colour in with pro markers, cut it to fit my card and mounted a stamped image and the text . The piece I had left over has been mounted behind glass and edged with copper foil tape and it's this piece I shall be putting in the swap :)
