The color room Challenge pallette #162


The colors in the palette are stunning,  I had so much fun creating a LO for this challenge.


This is a pic of my little girl a few years ago exploring the garden at a family xmas party.
I used Maja Design paper,  my fav papers.  The chipboard pieces are from Twiddlybitz that I painted with gesso, then randomly applied color with a chalk ink pad.
I fussy cut some flowers, the lovely vintage lady and the clock in the top right corner.  
All the flowers are handmade, except the cream ones which I pulled apart  and used in multiple layers, I added a pink gemstone to the larger layers.



I lightly applied some glue to the blue roses and then dipped into glitter. 



Underneath this top corner and the main pick a placed some cheesecloth. The metal embellishments I purchased from the Paper Magic stall at the local paperific show in August.


The stickpin I made from random beads, pearls and metal accessories I had in my stash. 


Scrap friends color challenge

I created this LO for the "Scrap friends" color challenge.  The color board is awesome and I chose to concentrate on using red with a splash of blue.




I did lots of background work with stencils, texture paste and clear rock candy distress crackle paint.  After the crackle paint dried I went back with a little red watercolor and painted over some random spots and the crackle paint getting right into the groves.

All the flowers are handmade except the 3 plain daisies,  I sprayed the flowers in the same red dylusions spray so they blend into each other.

Christmas cards

  Today I started on some Christmas cards. It is my first time using KAISERfusion markers. 


I came across this cute Santa mouse on the Whimsy Stamps blog hop and I just couldn't resist. 


Two cards down, many more to go.
