Craftaway a sunday/ This Thursday is all about - Heritage/ Metallics

I made this christmas card and Christmas is a real part of the heritage of this country as we are a christian nation. I was inspired by Heathers lovely winter card for last weeks craftaway a sunday challenge. I loved how she used a vintage image so I did that with my vintage father christmas. I covered him with tissue paper to create a vellum effect. I stamped onto some metallic card that had been embossed with the cuttlebug and used some paperartsy papers.

Arty girlz, Mixed Media Monday and Craftaway a sunday challenge ATC

Well I managed to combine 3 challenges into one! Arty girlz challenge is to use red, Mixed Media Monday is Harmony and craftaway a sunday is birds. I used a fabulous quote by a fabulous artist to link to the harmony aspect and as inspiration for the whole piece. I used a red sunset and red birds for the red challenge and simply birds for the bird challenge. Phew!

Craftaway a Sunday - Water

I made a polymer clay bag charm for my daughter. It is a dolphin. I accented the stamped pattern with acrylic paint and glimmer mist. I also added some gems and my own swirls. I varnished it added a hole and eyelet and added the keyring, ribbons and chain. My daughter loves it!
