Believe
I was invited to participate in the angel challenge at Crafting by Designs as their guest designer this week. I was thrilled to be asked.
I decided to do an art journal mixed media page for the challenge using a digital image from my stash by Michelle Perkett. I used my gell plate to create my background along with a stencil and some stars that I die cut. I used modelling paste to create the "believe" sentiment. My image was coloured with Copics, white gell pen and a glitter pen.

Orange and Turquoise Challenge
I am participating in a challenge this month at Inky Fun Stampers and the challenge is to make a card with the colours of orange and turquoise. I made this quick card by swiping with a baby wipe turquoise and orange acrylic paints on to my card base. I used a few Paper Artsy rubber stamps.
I coloured my my image with a couple of inks, added a tag sentiment and added some doodling to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping by.
Sequin Star Shaker Tag
I made this shaker tag for a upcoming swap at Inky Fun Stamper's Yahoo group. The theme of the swap is to make a tag using sequins or glitter on a tag.
I used die cut set for my stars. I cut one star out of acetate for the front of the large star to make a window for the sequins. The sequins were from a re-cycle Christmas card. I used some textured kraft paper for the first larger of the card. I then used Distress stains for colour. I added some Christmas music then my stars. The stars were edged and coloured with Distress Inks. To complete my tag I doodled with a white and copper gell pens.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a creative week.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Amusing - Anything Goes
We Love 2 Create - Anything Creative/ Mixed Media Goes
Simply Papercraft - Always Anything Goes
Crafting with an Attitude - Anything Goes
