Altered Puzzle Game Piece

Thought I would try something different for this weeks challenge at Come and Get IT Challenges and decided on a altered puzzle piece. The theme of the challenge is to feature a critter and I decided to use this digital  image from All Dressed Up called Pirate Puppy. 

This was a fun project to make and once I had painted it with gesso I painted the game piece with Acrylic paint. My next step was to add some stamped images from my collection of stamps to create a collage.  I used Distress Ink on the edges of the piece and Copic Markers to colour the images.  To complete the puzzle I added some die cut clouds and a little shell I had made out of shrink plastic.

This is one of my project for this week's challenge at Forever Dark.  I made my canvas art board with the image I used from Poppy Seed Graphics called Winter Angel.

I used 2 colours of purple ink sprays on my board and some silver acrylic spray paint .   Once I had my bard the way I liked it I then added my image that I had coloured with Copics and glitter. I also used purple flock on  the shawl collar .

The book Alice in Wonderland turned 150 years old this month and I thought it was fitting that I create am art journal page using this great Mad Hatter digital image from SLS Lines, one of our sponsors this month at Not Just Cards. 

To make my journal page I added several different colours of acrylic paints to my background and used a brayer to mix the colours.

Party Invitation

This is my last project this month for Not Just Cards.  I have so much fun creating here. We a new sponsor, DiddyBag and I have used their digital images called Mexican Boys for this party invitation. They are so cute.  There are e little boys in the set and I chose these two for the invitation.  

I coloured the boys with Copics, and then added a stamp sombrero to the background, and cut one out for the front of the invitation.  The sentiment is from my stash and I punched out some music note to complete the project. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative week.  

Cherub Gift Box

This is another of my projects for Not Just Cards this month.  I made this gift box using a digital image from Delightful Digis'  Angel and Cherub collection.    

Here are additional views of the gift box.

I started my project by painting a kraft box with a couple of different colours of grey paint and edging the sides with Soot Distress Ink. My next step was to rubber stamp a flourish image all over the box giving the box an old look to it.  I coloured my Cherup image with a light colouring of Copic Markers and then applied sugaring to the complete image.  

To complete the project I added a die cut "love" and a fabric sweater enclosure to the front to the box.   I like the antique look for the box.  I think it is a nice effect to go with the image.   Thank you for stopping by and I hope we have lots of creativity today.   

Birthday Party Gift Bag

I made this Birthday Party bag for the anything goes challenge at Not Just Cards this month.    I used a cute image from Milk Coffee.  The image is called Fairy Princess.   I think she is just perfect for a little girls birthday. 

I made the gift bag by folding a paper lunch bag in half and decorating it with stars, doilies, flowers and a sentiment.  I coloured the image and accents with glitter glue, Distress Ink and Copic Markers.
