Creepy Crew - Syren

Here's a little project I have over at Quixotic today,

I have been eager to colour this fabulous Creepy Crew - Syren from the greeting farm and had such fun! I have fussy her out and sprayed a generous amount of glimmer mist hard to see in the pic!

 I cut the swirls from the Marianne D Creatables - Frames/Swirls LR0116 adhered around for splashes and finished with a sentiment on the frame of Frames/Swirls LR0116!

The colours are inspired from the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket - 6" x 6" Mini Deck - Salt Air designer papers.

and this is the selection of copics I've used... nearly forgot to photograph them!

and here is a few challenges I'm entering...

Mystery Monday ~ with croppixie

Stamping Art!

I wanted to share a little project I have over at Quixotic...

I started out with the intention of creating a card but sometimes the project just follows their own route and want to be a little different! As you can see I'm still using the wonderful characters in the The Greeting Farm - Stamp Kit- Creeper Crew - Creepin' and I picked the fabulous Sasha for my picture. Sasha reminds me very much of Maoleidigh, I've coloured with copics and her dress is paper pieced.

Inspired to create a background with clouds and sky I used a masking technique by tearing paper cloud shapes and using repositioning glue before airbrushing. I had the idea of creating a rainbow, just had to be done with those clouds ROTFL! I did however need to spray a generous amount of colourless blender to make the rainbow a little more transparent!

I obviously have a love of long wild grass I just go with it and the grass gradually grows as I colour and with wild flowers like dandelions it's so fun to create. It doesn't show in my photos but I've added just a touch of spica glitter to the flower centres.

Now onto the fun part of my project, Here's a close up of the yummy new MAKE IT CRAFTY LASERCUT CHIPBOARD. I've used swirly corners for three of the corners and the butterflies are from the fine swirls set. I've glued all the laser cut pieces in place before giving the frame a weathered crackle effect. Then a little distress stain was lightly added to age it.

The mount is patterned paper from the gorgeous GRAPHIC 45 ONCE UPON A SPRINGTIME

I added a grunge edge to the cutout of the mount using distress ink and stamping stempleglede grunge collection directly onto the patterned paper.

I used that many colours to complete my picture I needed two pots to picture the copics I used LOL!

I have included a few challenges in my piece too...

Let's Hang ~ quixotic, CPS, FFF and Papertake

Hello, it's a busy time with the little ones on Easter holiday... but I wanted to share a card I have over at Quixotic...

I still haven't inked all the wonderful characters in the The Greeting Farm - Stamp Kit- Creeper Crew - Creepin' and picked the fabulous Noah for my card. Used my favourite My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel and heat embossed the sentiment.

 I went for sunkissed dreads with a beachy look and these are the copics I used!!

I've included quite a few challenges on this card too...

FFF ~ lets hear it for the boys!

Quixotic, Card Patterns, Moxie Fab!

Hello...  hope you're having a fun week so far!

I wanted to stop by with a quick card I made using the cute The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Hats Off - Stamp Set. She is coloured using copics. The sentiment is from Oliver & Amelia - Just For You Set.

I've used some bright fun papers from Echo Park - Sweet Summertime Collection Kit and they will be available in 6x6 soon.

I was inspired by the citrus colours on this weeks Moxie Fab tuesday Trigger

It doesn't show up very well in the picture that the mount to the tag is very lime green.

I have also used the fabby sketch from Card Patterns too!

 
That's it from me today, have a lovely creative day!

Quixotic Paperie, CPS and Copic Creations...

Hello...  hope you had a fun week so far! I wanted to stop by with a card I made using some fabulous goodies found in Quixotic Paperie shop.

I bought the stunning My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel because I loved the gorgeous patterns and the fabulous colours!

But for a change I thought I would stamp the edges of the paper with Stempelglede - Grunge Collection using distress ink.

  

When I saw this adorable set Oliver & Amelia - Little Dreamer from the Greeting Farm, I just knew I wanted to create a starry scene.

Oliver has been coloured using copics and the airbrush system, which I'm sooo new at, but I'm loving!!! This was my second attempt as my mask lifted at the edges on the first and Oliver got very blue ears LOL!. I think the colours are quite warm so I'm entering this or Copic Creations Challenge #44. The sentiment and Star is from the same set too.

 

I used the fabulous sketch from card positioning systems #206 for inspiration. 

Thanks for stopping by today, have a lovely creative day!

Hello! wanted to stop by with a fun card I made using lots of goodies found in Quixotic Paperie

I followed Jen's fabby sketch over at Club Anya Saturday Sketch. I couldn't wait to use the adorable The Greeting Farm - Cheeky Chat She went so well with the yummy Basic Grey - Hopscotch - 6x6 Paper Pad Also used a little of the Bazzill Basics - Smoothies - Kraft Cardstock too.

You might just see that I have used the WRMK - Sew-Easy Stitch Piercer Tool + Straight Head and WRMK - Sew-Easy Piercing Mat this time I used it with WRMK - Sew-Easy Floss - Yellow, a little hand stitching finishes off the card so nicely... which Fits in very well to the FFF Challenge.

Quixotic, The Greeting Farm and CPS

Good afternoon... wanted to stop by with a little card made using lots of goodies found in Quixotic Paperie,

I used the NEW MEMORY BOX 6x6 - PIXIE papers, the adorable Oliver from The Greeting Farm - Oliver & Amelia - Just For You Set, coloured using copics. The sentiment from the set I have combined using Whimsy Shapeology Die - Ticket and the blank image from the Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiments Set.

The colours where inspired from the fabulous FFF Challenge... Black, Turquoise, and ONE color of your choice (I went for green in case it's not too obvious tee hee) over at the Greeting Farm, haven't played along in what seems like ages....

I also used the brilliant sketch from card positioning systems #201

That's it from me today, hope it inspires... 

have a wonderfully creative day!!!

HOPPIN' into the HOLIDAYS Blog Hop

I just HAD to take part in the TGF Blog ALL-CUSTOMER and DT blog hop, 

All the blog's taking part are on the master list!!!

"Let it Snow" (use snow in creative ways on your card)

"Santa, Baby" (cute Santa-inspired cards)

and "Holiday Treats" (incorporate some kind of treat/goodie theme into your cards!

I decided to make a christmas gift treat,

it all started with Marie's amazing note idea here instead of a card I have made a

2011 Miss Anya calendar!

I was feeling very stampy and created month pages by using the masking technique. I first created a mask for the printed month and then stamped Miss Anya and created another mask of her cutting a border so she had a halo of white.

I then went in with my background stamps and over blended with distress inks!

I have bound the pages together using my cinch!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee - Sweetness; 

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Lounge; The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Rain Snow Shine; The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya; The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Dressy; 

The Greeting Farm - Christmas - Keep Cozy;

Ink: Momento: black; Ranger: distress inks: Copic; white paint dabber;

Dies: sizzix alphabet; MS: border punch;

Other: post it note; Artisan Elements - Ornaments; WRMK: the Cinch and O-wires; corners rounder; 3D foam;

I hope you have fun on the hop! have a wonderfully creative Day!!!

The Greeting Farm 'trick or Treat' Blog Hop

Welcome to the Halloween release from The Greeting Farm!!!!

For added FUN we thought we would have a little trick or treat hop!

I thought I would make a Halloween picture frame, I wanted something quite ornate to hold these adorable halloween trinkets! The frame is made from grey board, die cut and I've painted with black paint dabber! All the dimensional foliage has been cut from black cardstock! I then glued the pieces in place omitting the shrinkies and sprayed a very generous amount of glimmer  mist so it sparkles! I have printed the digi's onto inkjet shrink plastic, (my printer is still playing up with the black ink, although you can hardly notice!) They're coloured with copics markers and shrunk with heat tool, I used some clear adhesive foam to attach them!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Graphic 45: Halloween in Wonderland; grey board; Inkjet shrink plastic;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Halloween ~ witch; pumpkin; shedevil; skeleton; bride;

Ink: printer; Copic: markers*; Ranger: distress inks: vintage photo;

Dies: loads of them LOL ~ Sizzix: frame; flower 3D; branches & leaves; elegant flourish; spooky house;

Other: Tattered Angels: glimmer mist; Paint Dabber: pitch black; Viva decor: pearl pen; black & clear 3D adhesive foam;

I hope you enjoy the hop and of course I need to mention...

that two of you could win a Halloween digi of choice,

and there's one GRAND prize winner who gets all 5 new Halloween digi's!!!!

A Mystery Monday

Over at Club Anya and Friend's we have a new Monday challenge... where we 'case' cards from the Galleria...

This week we are also previewing some Halloween digi's, available from TGF on 15th September, here I've used Halloween witch.

Now I had trouble with my printer over the weekend and no matter how many 'new' black ink cartridges I put in, the black ink will not print! Arghhhh! SO it only prints with the colours which turns the images into a sepia outline, I just had to go with it and although it was a little tricky to colour I quite like the result!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Graphic 45: Halloween in Wonderland;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Halloween witch;

Ink: printer; Copic: markers*; Ranger: distress inks: vintage photo;

Other: WRMK: trims; Bazzill Basic: jewel templates; Viva decor: pearl pen; 3D foam;

Thanks for stopping by I hope you stop by to see the rest of the teams awesome previews!
