Love, Love, Love ....

We are back with another great anything goes challenge this month at Not Just Cards. Lots of great sponsors ans prizes. 

I made this Valentine gift bag with a digital image from our sponsor, Robin's Fetish.  The image is called I have a crush on you.   I think the image is adorable.  I added some designer paper to my red shopping bag, paper lace, bling and some heats to decorate my bag. 

This is my second project. 

For my second project, a art journal page I used this vintage image by Limited Run called Vintage Cupid. 

To make my art journal page I added several stenciled images, rubber stamps.  For colouring I used acrylic paints, Copics, Distress Inks and a haricot pencil. This was a fun page to make.  

Thank you for stopping by and join us this month at Not Just Cards. 

A Little Cuddle makes it better

This is the first challenge of 2016 for Not Just Cards.  The theme as always is anything goes.  I have used an image from our sponsor All Dressed Up called A Cuddle Makes It All Better.  

I had fun making my card.  I used lots of layers of designer papers, butterfly dies, leave dies and some package paper flowers.  To complete my card I added some bling, paper ribbon and a button.  Thank you for stopping by and come join us this month at Not Just Cards. 

Last Challenge of the year at Not Just Cards

This is the last challenge of the year at Not Just Cards for 2015. The theme of the challenge is anything goes.  I have created 2 projects for the challenge.

I have a used an image from Morgan Fitzsimon's Art Stamps  called Cameo Fae for my art journal page. 

To make my background for my project I used Panpastels, script rubber stamp, and flourish rubber stamps.  My image was coloured with Copics, gell pen and a glitter pen. I added a rubber stamped butterfly to complete my journal page.

I think Cameo Fae is a beautiful digital stamp and lots of fun to create with. 

For my second project I used an image of Julia Spiri for my card.  The Image is called Indian Girl with elephant.



I coloured the image with my Copics,a glitter pen and a white gell pen.    I used some of the handmade paper I bought on a holiday in Italy one year.  I liked how it went with the image. I added sequins to complete the card.

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.

Owl Always Love You Plaque

I made this plaque for this weeks Not Just Cards challenge.  I  made this sweet little plaque out of an old 8 by 10 craft board I had in my stash.   The image is from Faery Ink and is called Owls Love You Hearts and Valentines.

After I printed the image I glued it to the board and coloured the image with my Copics,  PanPastels and Soot Distress inks.  I added some wooden hears, that I coloured with markers and Diamond, glaze and glitter. I made a mistake and knocked over my Diamond Glaze on the project.  I blotted it up and then decided to spray my project with Goose Bumps so that the whole project had a shine.

This was a fun project and I hope you will join us at Not Just Cards this week.

Mad Court Jester

Don't you just love this Mad Court Jester image from SLS Lines, one of the sponsors this week at Not Just Cards. I thought he was just adorable.  It was lots of fun to colour him with my Copics. I love to use bright colours.

Once I had printed my image on to my paper I created a mask to protect the image and layered acrylic paint using my Gelli plate and a couple of different stencils. It was lots of fun to colour the jester with my Copics. I love to use bright colours.  To make my image stand out from my colourful background I used a charcoal pencil to outline the image.  

To complete my journal page I used distressed ink around the edges of the page and layered it on red cardstock. 

I decided later to add my page to my journal book and edged the page with a similar design. I added a sentiment and the with Stazon Ink added the word Joker.  This is what my finished page looked like.

Mushrooms and Butterflies

I made this little mushroom gift box for this weeks Not Just Cards challenge this week.  I wrapped a box from my recycle bin with the images from one of our sponsors, Angies Digis.  The digital image is called Butterfly on a Toadstool. 

I coloured my image with my Copics, glitter and PanPastels.  I sprayed the box with Goosebumps, and added glitter tape. For the top of the box I made a knob out of a large wooden bead and a button from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.    

Let The Good Times Roll - Mardi Gra

This is one of my projects this week for Not Just Cards. I used this Mardi Gra mask from Faery Ink for my journal page. I think this image is beautiful and just right for a journal page. 

I printed my image and then masked it to protect it from my background technique.  I used a brayer and rolled several thin coats of different colours of chalk paint on my background then stamped my music stamp with Stazon Ink.

I coloured my mask with coordination colours of Copics and used a gold gelli pen for the beads.   I added die cut feathers and a sentiment.  To complete the page I inked the feathers and page with Lilac Distress Ink.   Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
