Treats on Tuesday at Magenta

Hi Everyone I'm over at Magenta playing with Dura Lar which is a plastic Mylar type film used for art projects. I first discovered Dura Lar when Nancy Stislow used it here on a tag, I then saw Kate Crane's video and this was my inspiration for the card. I hope you drop by the Magenta blog and check out my post.

Layered Stencilling

I finally managed to get some time in my craft room. I've been on vacation for a week and my plans of doing lots of crafting just fell apart and I ended up in the garden instead. This wasn't a bad thing, my project of demolishing an old vegetable garden and installing 4 new 4X4 boxes took a lot longer than I expected. So when I did get into my craft room here's what I came up with.

I used my Gelli plate and Deli paper for the first layer, Distress Oxides for my second and Black Soot Distress ink for my third. I struggled with the frame and decided to use an old spellbinders deckled edge rectangle so I could fit a larger sentiment in.

The Deli paper gives such a soft effect, it mutes the colours slightly.

Here's a close up of the stencil layering.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge Mid Month Reminder

Hi everyone it's time for CAS Christmas card Challenge mid month reminder.

I've used this great stamp from Crafty Individuals which comes as one stamp but I thought would work cut in two for future use as separate stamps.

I stamped the holly in green and then went over the berries in red stickles.

I hope you pop over and play along with Loll and the team with our Berry Theme.

Night Sky in Watercolour

I'm playing along with CAS Watercolour challenge which is create a night sky.
I used Lindys Magicals and gold Gansai Tambi water colour paints on hot press watercolour paper. Once it was dry I stamped a tree line stamp from Rubbernecker in Nocturn Versafine Clair and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder.

The close up shows the shimmer of the watercolour powders and paints. It has a bit of Northern Lights effect with the glow behind the trees.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge May is Berry Month

Hi Everyone, it's time for a new CAS Christmas Card Challenge and May is Berry Month. Loll is our host for this month and Lynne is our Guest Designer




My card is made with one of the beautiful Penny Black berry branches. I used Tombo markers direct to stamp spritzed with a little water before stamping. I then used a brush and a little water to blend the colours. Once it was dry I added some detail with a pencil and splattered some gold paint over the image.
I die cut the panel to give the image a little dimension a vertical stamp, now looking at the image I should have used a dark brown ink rather than black.

Here is a close up of the mix of watercolour and pencil, I hope you like it.
