Our sponsor this month is The Dusty Attic 

My friend gave a  couple of chipboard fairies that I fell in love with and decided to make a fairy house canvas using them.

For my fairy house I used an image from Lavina Stamps.  I love the wild design of their houses.  It was so much fun to colour.  I used Copics along with glitter to colour the house.  The background of was coloured with acrylic paints and I used rubber stamps by Paper Artsy.

This is the card I made for the other twin.

The images are from Sandra Caldwell digital stamps and although they are different I thought they were similar enough for twin's birthday. . 

 I coloured the images  and sentiment with Copics and added a dotted background, a sentiment,  some layers and a button the complete the cards.

Autumnal Challenge

Eclectic Ellapu has a Autumnal challenge for the purple team this month and this autumn scene was made for that challenge.  This simply autumn card was made with a rubber stamp I had in my collection. I have forgotten who made the stamp since I probably have had it for about 10 years and it is unmounted.   I have used just parts of the stamps for other cards and projects.  

I have used a combination of Copics and PanPastels to colour the card,  The background layer is a gelli print.  The wooden leaves are coloured with Distressed inks. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us in this autumnal challenge this month. Remember that the pink team also has a challenge and their theme is vintage. 

Altered Bicycle Sprocket

Time for another challenge at Altered Eclectics this month and I decided to alter a bicycle

sprocket.   I found the sprocket at a thrift store and thought it would be fun to alter in 

a steam- punk theme. 

My steam punk lady is an image from Kenny K Downloads.  I coloured

 the image with Copics, added a die cut Tim Holtz clock, chip board clock, metal stars and dragonfly and die cut gears and clogs.  

Here is a closer view.
