OOTH challenge

Out of the hat are asking us to make a shrine for this weeks  challenge , I had no personal reason to make one, so thought I'd start with a sentiment which I put  between 2 of Tim's cabinet dies .
The sentiment is from Elusive images, the background stamp from the Artistic Stamper and the images La blanche

 

Now I really must get my finger out and make a Christmas card or two .......can we please restart December I need more time AAGGGGHHHHHHH 

 

Challenge 19

Well here we are at our last challenge of the year BUT it will run till the new year just in case your at a loose end .

Neets choice a recipe ... Blue, Female image, Ribbon and some sparkle and you choose what you make

As a follower you can choose whether or not you choose to do the theme, but as a team member it's the challenge of doing a theme that other wise you might run and hide from that I enjoy so this was my third try, I got the blue and the female image but when it can to the ribbon and sparkle I was flumuck to make it work, so like eating veg I started with what scared me most ...... the ribbon so rummaged through  the box and found a piece I didn't even know I had. next came the image just right to go with the ribbon, humm back ground gotta be sorta retro. I decided to go with paint and blended the colours , cool peri, cloudy blue, sail boat blue and denim then stamped in white and pink to tie it in with the ribbon and the skirt and I don't  think it's turned out to bad well it made the OH laugh though he could or wouldn't say why MEN !

 

Oh and where's the sparkle I here you ask will it's the little dots on the skirt :)

Thanks for popping by and look forward to seeing how you will use the recipe

 

Feeling a bit chuffed this week as I was lucky enough to win the Die cut challenge at the Craftroom so will share with you when it arrives :)

A little heart

Brrrr it was  frosty this morning so much so that the drivers side door was frozen, so had to  go in through the passenger side and give it a good shove lol and scrap the ice off the inside :( can do with out to many morning like that.
Anyway getting back on track Simon Says  stamp and show want to see some hearts though I'm not sure if these polymer heart earring qualify but I have been having a playing after watching a demo at the NEC

 

Have a great weekend all and keep nice warm and dry

 

Challenge 18 Artfulful Times

Woo-hoo it's anything goes at Artful Times , so a fab excuse to make something something useful for yourself or a present for a friend of just try out something different.
So taking inspiration for the Craft stamper I stuck some die cut shapes to a block of wood and covered with crumpled tissue paper and built up the colours of acrylic paint . The flowers are made from a scalloped border punch. A domino has had an image collaged onto it and and given the resin treatment

 

Hope you will join in the fun :)

Stash buster for Out of the Hat

The lovely lassses at OOTH are asking us to use up  some stash, well these frames along with a few more have been hanging around for ages and I wanted to give them the Andy treatment, can't believe I left the Craft Barn with out buying the crackle medium ! but found a one step one at Hobby Craft .
The image transfer isn't as crisp as I would have liked probably due to the pixelation  and looks better IRL and I use black on the top of the crackle which was a thick coat and varnished,  the smaller frame the same base colours had a dark purple used after the crackle which was applied much thinner and didn't varnish
The frames aren't finished but I didn't want to miss the deadline again !

 

Thanks for popping by :)

 

 

Black it is

Over at the Anything but a Card challenge they want to see black so I'm limboing under the dead line with a hair comb made with beads that have been wired together, then wired onto the comb.

 

Oh and I forgot to say the necklace was posted to Chrissie as she was brave enough to say she wanted it.Off to the NEC tomorrow and hoping to find some inky inspiration
Have a good weekend and thank you for popping by
