No Pattern Paper Challenge

No Pattern Paper is the theme of this weeks Crafty Cardmakers challenge this week. 

This card was made with rubber stamps from Rubbernecker and Hampton Stamps along with a background music stamp from my stash that  skips my mind who the company that made it is.  The round music die is by  Amy Designs. 

Once I had my card set up the way I wanted it to be I added colour with my copics, I used an old punch for the musical notes which I added with a layer of Nuvo drops too. The last thing I added was some Pentart gold glitter on the sax. The card was made for my son's birthday.

Altered Wine Bottle

Bleeding Art Has another great challenge this month, as always it is anything goes mixed media.

 Look at what I found for a $1.00 at a thrift store to alter.  I was so excited when I found it.   The bottle was from a local Winer for a wine they produced 15 years ago called Jazz Blush.

Here is the bottle I purchased.

This is my bottle once I had completed the project.

I  painted my bottle first with gesso  and then with Pentart decoupage paste I added my scraps of music from an old song book.  I used a brown gel medium to coat the page to give the project a antique look.   I painted the keys, musical letters, handle, and mouth piece black and assented it with a gold trim.  I added buttons to the keys.  To complete the altered bottle I added a jazzy tag, 

Some more views of the project.

Thank You

Time for another great challenge at Crafty Cardmakers.  The theme of this weeks challenge is "Thankful".  I created this card for a friend to tell her how thankful I was to have her in my life.

I  used a cutting die for this card to create the circle gate fold.  The pattern paper is by Stampin Up and the sentiment by Tim Holtz.  I also used an embossing folder, flowers, die cut butterflies and some gems.

Just Smile

Time for another mixed media challenge at Splashy Mixed Media Challenge.  

Create any mixed media project with inspiration from our mood board. 

I love the soft colours on the mood board and the cute baby image, both the colours and the image inspired me to create my project..  

I used an picture of my grandson taken last winter on holidays for my canvas.  I think he is a real cutie.  I decoupaged  several layers of scrapbook paper to my canvas then used a stencil  and white acrylic paint to add the white circles.  I also used blue acrylic to add colour and texture to the sides of the canvas.  My layers on the canvas of pattern circle, tags, and toys were cut out of my scraps. 

I added the word "smile" with heavy gel medium and coloured the wooden letters with Acrylic paint and Nuvo Crystal drops for sparkle.
