Use twine - Angie's Digi Stamps 21st May

Over at Creative Moments

this week our sponsor is 

Angies Digis

I choose:

I choose Octopus with Bows

And the theme is 

Use Twine

Again i did two and couldnt decide which one to post, so i posted both!!

The first one i did was with the green garden twine

I wasnt sure what colours to use,  so i decided to zentangle the image

and just colour a few of the spots and the bows,  i coloured both with Apple.

I mounted the image on to a piece of green card and then covered the card with a piece

of coloured Kay & co scrapbook paper.

I painted the twine with PVA and then wrapped it around a brush handle, to get it to twist.

When it was dry i stuck it on with some silicone glue.

To finish i added a sentiment strip.

My second i decided to colour the image with 

Grass green and coloured the bows with poppy

I then wrapped a net that came with one of my wigs around it 

(for the twine element).

I mounted it on to a piece of blue card and the a piece if pattern blue paper.

To finish it off i added some die cut shells and a sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by

The theme was bingo

we had to choose from the table below:

I choose Flower, Sentiment & more than 2 layers

My image is Miss Daisy

I couldn't decide which colour to do, pink or blue, 

so i did both !!

I used the same colours for the skin tones and hair

Satin, Almond & Vanilla

Tan,  Gold & Pastel Yellow

For the "Flowers / Dress" I used 

Pearl Blue & China Blue  &

Cerise & Baby Pink

With both images i matted them on a piece of black card.

The flower on the blue card was white, i used a distress ink (storny sky) to colour it
and then used silicone to stick it to the front of the card
and finished the card with a sentiment

For the pink flower i used a pearly brad to join to paper flowers together,
the sentiment was cream,  so i coloured it with Cerise pro-marker.

Brown sugar challenge   25th April 

This weeks sponsor is :

The image i choose was my little chickadee

I wasn't sure what colours i was going to use, 

 i decided not to go down the traditional Easter colours.

as the image said Easter to me.

I selected a few pastel colours for the egg and browns for the bird.

I used apricot, pale blue and pale pink & caramel  & tan

plus grass for the grass !

I found a sheet of double sided card that worked for the image and cut it in half so i could use both sides.

I cut a piece big enough for the image,then i cut the other piece so it would matt on to the A5 card blank.

I decided to matt both of them on to  a piece of silver mirror board,  I cut a piece big enough to fit the larger bit,  then  gutted the middle so i had a bit to matt on to the smaller bit. 

Then i die cut a "tree of wonder"  tattered lace die to add at the side.

To finish off the card i used a piece of the doubled sided card that was left over and also mounted it on to silver mirror card, and added a piece of a sentiment strip.

Hope you like my creation

and obviously green (grass) for the clover leaves.

I found a piece of double sided paper to use for the layers,

To finish off the card i added the best wishes sentiment

Shoes Anything goes / Girly

This week over at Creative Moments our sponsors are:

The theme is Anything Goes / Girly
I choose the shoes image

 I didn't want to go down the usual pink route when it said girly,
so decided to go with blues instead.

I choose three shades of blues from my pro markers:

Cyan

Arctic Blue

& Powder blue, 

and black for the heel.

To colour the box at the bottom i decided on a bit

of zentagle...   a drew some flowers to reflect those on the shoes.

I then matted the image onto black card, and them on to 

a piece of black and white patterned paper from  papermania  

Then added it all to a white card.

To finish i added a LOV sentiment

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you again soon
