May your Dreams Take Flight

My turn to host the challenge at at Crafty Cardmakers this week and the theme of the challenge is go green. Your card or project must either be a St. Patrick's Day theme or the main colour must be green.

I chose to make a card using a rubber stamp by Stampers Anonymous' Tim Holtz  Collection called Tree Line.  When I think green my first thought is of the beautiful forest that surrounds my home.  

I used a combination of watercolours and Stampin' Up  Mossy Meadow waterbased dye ink to colour the card.  To complete my card I added a stamped sentiment and a eagle flying.

Card for a Man and Boy

The challenge at Come and get It Challenges this week is to make a card for a man  or a boy.  Polkadoodles is our wonderful sponsor this week and I have used this cute Fireman image called Firemen Jim. 

The image was coloured with Copic Markers and then a fire truck and a sentiment were added to complete this card for a little boy.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

Princesses

Princesses is the theme of our challenge this week at Come and Get It Challenges.  Cute as a Button is our sponsor this week and I have used this cute image called Button Love.  I think she is adorable. 

I coloured my image with Copic markers, pencil crayons and Wink of Stella.  Next I added some flowers, buttons, and sentiments.

Watercolored Canvas

Add some texture is the theme of this week's Crafty Cardmakers Challenge. I decided to make a canvas picture using watercolours, rubber stamps, stencils, washi tape and molding paste. 

I love adding texture using Panpastels to colour my molding paste.  I love it's soft effect. The flower rubber stamp is a cling mount by Stampendous called Jumbo Holly Hock.

Altered Box

Time for another great challenge at Creative Artiste.  The theme of the challenge is anything mixed media goes and I have altered a cellphone box for my project.

Our sponsor this challenge is Scrapmatts.  Scrapmatts has a great collection of media products. 

I used this gear stencil for my box.  It is a perfect stencil for a small box , card or tag.

Closer look

I used molding paste on my stencil and coloured the box with several colours of Inka-Gold.  To complete my box I added several findings, a gear, clock and wings. I also used some gems and starred washi tape.

Dress to Thrill

It is February and finally time to get back creating for Altered Eclectics.  This is my first creation for 2017 for the group.  I had fun updating my glass bottles.  I am not sure what these bottles were used for .  I found them at a flea market a few years ago. 

This is what I started with.

To alter my bottles I painted them with chalk paint, added painted chains to the ankles, and then added the gems, flowers and lace. To complete the shoes I added a "inspire" tattoo on one shoe and a "dress to thrill" on the other shoe using rubber stamps from my stash.  

Here are some closer looks.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month.  Hope to join us this at Altered Eclectics. Remember to pop by the our challenge blog to see the very creative projects our talented design team have created to inspire you.
