Pretty (Easter) Bonnet

 

Hi there, well January soon came and went again, I can't believe we are into February already, we have been really lucky and managed to avoid the snow and floods, there is something to be said about living in the salty sea air.

Well the theme for this month is "Hearts and or Flowers" so plenty of scope there, I'm making a start on my Easter cards as I never seem to have enough and I have a feeling I will be needing more this year.

To get to the challenge just pop across to the FaceBook All dressed up page and its in the Photo Album. I have used Pretty Bonnet from the ADU Etsy shop I coloured her with copics, used Prima Jack n Jill papers some SnipArt hearts and flowers and leaves from my stash.

Angel of Remembrance

Hi there, Mitzi is spoiling us with two Angels of Remembrance 1 & 2 they are both amazing.

Angel of Remembrance 1 I decided to colour in shades of lilac, just because it's one of my favorite colours, I used copics, Anna Marie Blissful Green papers, some SnipArt and gems on the border and Petal pink liquid pearls.

Angel of Remembrance 2 I went for Summer colours, as just this week I've noticed the leaves changing colour and there is a lot of leaf litter on the ground, I don't think I'm quite ready for Autumn yet. The papers are again from Anna Marie Designs, I must say this is one of my most used paper books I got it in green and beige, love them both, you can't see much of it but there is a strip of lace across the bottom, flowers an gems from my stash.

Autumn is here

It's time for the September New Releases from Mitzi at aurora wings 

First off we have Skull-and-Roses, I felt like it should be in a colour other than deep red for some reason, so I chose this lovely blue, I coloured with copics , papers are from HOTP really old ones,SnipArt swirls, Artos flowers with a few gems from my stash.

Peacock Queen and Vines and Berries

Hi there, I've had a wonderful time colouring these two beauties.

Mitzi has given us two new releases from Aurora wings this month, 

you can see everyones release projects at Aurora wings showcase

the first is Peacock Queen, there is something so regal about a peacock, I coploured her with copics,

the papers are from an old CD from Artylicious called Peacock Summer Party, the feathers are SnipArt that i purchased from Anna at The Craft box, coloured with copics then laquered.

I was struggling to get my Neenah card solar white from my usual supplier but I found it at Craft Stash they were very quick delivery and if you spend £15 (which isn't difficult) its free P&P

This next one is the third in the Seasons set, Wings and Petals was Spring, Fins and Pearls Summer and this one is called Vines and Berries, coloured with copics on Neenah then mattered and layered on burgundy and gold card.

decided to use fairly muted colours as I thought it made it look a bit Folksy, the papers are from HOTP the feathers are SnipArt from The Craft Box , I coloured them then used a crackle paste on top. The sentiment is computer generated.

Valentine card

Hiya, been busy getting my Valentine cards made, I thought I would share one with you,

for this one I used Anna Marie papers with a vine leaf from Imagination stenciled through with heavy gesso, the SnipArt heart I coloured pink then covered with glitter, gems and mounted on pearl card, there is also glass beads, cheesecloth, flowers, gems, lace, rub ons and some white seam binding. Ooops nearly forgot the little butterflies and the sentiment stamp came free with my making cards magazine. SnipArt and flowers from Craft Box

I would like to enter it in the following:

SnipArt Tag

Hi there, I was supposed to be tidying my Cave as I have a new storage trolley arriving in the new year, but....... I got waylaid , how many times does that happen? anyway I was stuffing my face whilst stroking paper and I thought I really need some inspiration for my kitchen to help me stick to my ongoing diet, so sugar sweet pinks and chocolate browns, that will definitely keep me on the straight and narrow. lol . 

I used some Anna Marie papers on a Tando Tag, structure paste with an AliExpress stencil, SnipArt text and mandala's that I coloured with Tattered Angels Glimmer mists, cheese cloth, pearls, seam binding and flowers from Craft Box.

Lets hope it helps with this years trials.
