Daring cardmakers challenge - Paint

The dare this week to use paint. Well I love acrylics so I could of gone to town but I decided to show some reserve. I stamped and then painted the crown. I used paint to edge the stampbord and to coordinate on my embossed border. I made the bacing paper with glimmer mists and a stencil. Sorry to bore you with another christmas card. I got the stamp from craft stamper magazine. The photo is not great it looks much better in real life.

Altered art and mixed media work

Wow Wow Wow. I am just blown away by this technique it inspires the juices so much. I have been doing some more research on the web. I am awash with ideas and don't really know where to start.
Well I do because I have ordered some stamps from crafty individuals and I have been viewing some work by other artists. Roll on the arrival of my new toys ( mummies toys as they are known in our house).
Altered art and mixed media rocks!

Using up the leftovers

After a lovely night out I promised Jayne I would send her some photo's of the kids. I made this little card to put them in. I have been inspired by all the lovely vintage work that is around on peoples blogs. I used up the leftovers from the Artzy girlz challenge #47. I kind of wish I could of entered this one for that challenge instead.

I have had some creative urges today and produced two projects one completed and one in the making. I made the card I started yesterday and I have stamped and coloured in some stampbord for a necklace project.

Artylicious competition entry

I created this necklace for the artylicious competition. The challenge was to use stampboard to make a handcrafted item. You had to use elusive image stamps. I used glimmer mists on the stampbord to create a shimmering background I used pearl, creme de rouge and vanilla breeze. I then stamped on one of the images from the diamente delights design a flower stamps and used various wirework and beading techniques to create the chain. I am thrilled with the results!
