I decided to stick to the brown colours, and dug out all the brown tones out of my pro-markers.

 

The background it a sheet of white card that I sprayed with various shades of my dylusions.

 

The acorn and words are tattered lace dies

Tea time

Sorry not been around for a while... 

This week at Creative moments   we have  floppy latte images

The Image I choose was the tea time one...   as it could be any colours

I looked at the cups and decided they should be mainly white, so they looked china like.

 

The colours I used:

 

Top cup: Fuchsia Pink, Orchid  and Grass

Middle cup : Rose Pink

Bottom cup:  Blossom, Pink Carnation & Grass

Once I had coloured the cups I went around the edges with cool grey 1

I mounted the image on to a pale pink  card and then a sheet of a darker pink. 

This was then mounted onto a piece of A4 darker pink which was folded in half for the card base.  but before I stuck it down I added die cut two doilies at the bottom of the card.

I then cut a piece of bunting and the letters  C H E E R S

from another shade of pink to finish off the image

Awareness

There has been a number of images around this month  Otcober with the theme

Awareness

Most of the images where seen to be for Breast Cancer Awareness, but I changed the colours to suit one a bit more close to my heart  Alopecia Awareness, as I have suffered with it since 1998.

 

 

The first one was from Creative moments

Stitchy Bear image

 

 

The second image was from the Stamping Chef

Lucky Larry

On October the 5th I was lucky enough to be selected to be the

GDT at The Stamping chef  in the " Saturday spotlight"
 

 

 

I had Lucky Larry to use to make something with

 

  I found a plain brown bag and decided to use that as a base (instead of a card). 
  I also found some die cut shamrocks, which fitted with the lucky theme

I thought of someone was leaving and the gift could be put in the bag.
 

So I coloured the image and mounted it on to some green card.

to create what looked like a ribbon on the bag, I punched a thin bit of card,
 and stuck a thinner bit in the middle, but the piece  it wasn't long enough,
 so I cut it in the middle to make it fit behind the image. 
 

I finished the bag off with the shamrock die cuts.

Owls / autumn

The challenge over at Creation Moments Challenge blog this week is

Delicious doodles /  Owls / Autumn.

I had a lovely image of a barn owl

 

Looking at him made me thinking of an owl sat in a tree.

So I embossed a sheet of brown card, so It looked like the bark of a tree.

After tinting the image with a caramel pro-marker,

I then  had to then made it look like he was looking out of a hole in the truck of the tree,

so I cut the image out using a circle die.

 

To make the leaves  I took a piece of white card a spritzed it with a couple of dylusions.

Once dry I used one of my leaf dies to cut out a number of leaves.

 

After covering the front of a 6x6 card blank with a piece of patterned paper,

which reminded me of forest / trees.

I then mounted the embossed card on to the paper,

and the stuck the owl image in the centre.

Finally I stuck the leaves around the "hole".

 

To finish off the card, I added a sentiment.
