This week challenge is Oriental which definitely took me out of my comfort zone, what to do!!!

We got to use from Picts of Japan and I chose the 1st image of a Lady looking at a Butterfly in a tree.

About the same time as thinking about this image, my alarm clock decided that no matter what time you set the alam it would only go off at 9.l5 twice a day! No good when I need to be up by 6am each morning.  Never one to through anything out, I ask hubby to take it apart and leave me the wooden frame and the clock bits and pieces for steampunk projects.  Then came the idea!!!!

I coloured the image with Copic pens, and then cut part of it in a circle shape and the lady and part of the turnk I fussy cut.  I also used some designer papers from Robyn's Fetish Store .  Called Oriental Beauty which I also cut into circles, have to love the die cuts for this type of design. 

Clock Frame

I then mounted the different paper and image circles onto the frame, added the lady with 3d squares, cut losts of leaves and mount them together with some pink flowers and a butterfly to make my..........

PAPERWEIGHT

Yes I now have a pretty paperweight on my desk.

The Household Angel

This card has an image from Lacy Sunshine called, Mayde Pressing Matters. 

I have coloured her with Copic Pens, and use a die to cut the image out and mounted inside the card.  The front has flowers, butterflies, diecut bird and birdhouse, spotted candi, pearls, ribbon, lace and 2 diecut frames.  Not my usual type of project, and my husband kept saying too much, too much, but I was having too much fun.

I have place the image inside the card and added some sentiment ribbon along the bottom.

Key Bookmark

I am in a steampunk swap group, and we have been asked to make a Key themed bookmark, has to be kept flat so that it can go into a book.

I got out me Ecraft and cut a large key (one of the reasons I love using the electronic diecutters, is that you can vary the size so much, I cut this key 7.5 inches long.)  I also used the Ecraft to cut out a Lock.  The cogs have been cut using Sissix dies with the Big Shot.

3 keys were cut from Kraftcard and glued together for strength.  Everything has been distress with Distress inks and Gold ink to highlight the Key, lock and cogs.  Some brown ribbon looped though the top of the key completed the bookmark.

I was very lucky this week to be able to use an image from each of our sponsors, my first card features "Mayde's Puppy Bathtime" from Lacy Sunshine, coloured with copics. Die cut the image and layered it onto another diecut, used lquid pearls for the suds and glossy accents onthe bubbles, a silver sentiment has been added.

 
For my second card, I created with "Fishing Donald".  I have used Touch and Copic pens to colour Donald, then went mad with a die cut and punch, to create a little bush scene as he walks to the river to fish, some tall grass and bushes along the way,   Typed sentiment completes the card.

Whoopsie Daisy is our Sponsor for this week

http://linnie-whoopsiedaisy.blogspot.com.au/

Prize - The winner's choice of 3 sheets from the Whoopsie Daisy Store

I chose the first image on sheet 431, when you get these sheets they also have coloured versions.  I have coloured this cute fairy with Copic Pens, the flowers in the lower right hand part of the card come from the right hand side of the mushroom, when I cut the image out I wanted them separate.  I've added some glitter to her wings and a typed mounted sentiment.

The embossing pads I have used were of clouds and grass and dandelions, I have embossed a white card and then used chalk to colour around the clouds and over the grass pattern, hopefully creating a little scene for this pensive fairy.

The only requirement for the competition I have entered is to use a Kaisercraft Pencil Box as the base.  It is quite large, measuring 14 x 6 x 3 inches approx.  Once I assembled the Pencil Box, I painted the top and got my hubby to drill some holes. then started adding different elements to create..................
