Angies Digitals Challenge , 1 March 2020


This month the theme at Angies Digitals is Anything Goes.

I chose an image called "Bear Brushing Hair" check out the store HERE. to make a collage piece.  The page has been created in the year's bullet diary.  Hopefully by the end of the year I will have a journal of bits and pieces I have created throughout the year.

I printed the image twice one in mirror.  Coloured with copic pens , coloured pencils and fussy cut.  Layered patterned paper onto the page, flipped left over paper and die cut  the oval to go behind the small image.  Then diecut brown patterned paper for the frame of the mirror.

The chain for the mirror is an edging sticker.  Folder some more of the brown patterns paper and created a shelf to hold her beauty products (which are all digital images from Tumble Fish Studios)

A bought some great alphabet stamps recently and I was going to stamp the words, but for some unknown reason I kept stamping "Pretty" as Preety.  So I gave up and typed and printed the words.  Anyway! I hope you enjoy my little collage scene.

The Crafter's Cafe #237 - 1st March Anything Goes

Another Anything Goes at The Crafter's Cafe.

Two great sponsors
Dr Digis House of Stamps

and

Scribbles Designes
I chose "Ground Hog 2" from Scribbles Designs,  to create a mixed media page in my bullet diary.  
It's been pretty hot where I live and I do tend to do more journal pages than cards as all glues and double sided tape can become difficult to use, either run profusely or get really tacky.  So hot in fact, that I had something I had use a hot glue gun on last year, melt and fall apart.

We don't have Groundhogs in Australia, so I did a bit of research and came up with some interesting facts. We do not have any Marmots in Australia

The background an the Ground Hog have been painted with Paper Artsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics.  My favourite paint.  The rest of the image, dirt, stone flowers, leave and umbrella are all paper pieced, to create some collage on the page.  Stencils, some raindrop and circle epoxy stickers have also been added.
 

 This is the double page view, the quote is one of many in the Bullet Diary

The Crafter's Cafe #236 - 15th February Red/ Pink

New challenge at The Crafter's Cafe this fortnight the theme is use Red/Pink.


Two great sponsors

Prize: 3 images


 and
Prize: 3 images
I chose an image from QKR called, Rose. and created a mixed media page in my bullet diary, I am trying to get a page for each month.  
The rose has been coloured with red and green copic pens and fussy cut.

For this one, I first layered the page with pages from an old book, the layered red tissue paper of the lot, then did another layer of red tissue, didn't realise how transparent it was at first.

Typed three verses of Robbie Burns love poem, adhered the verses and the rose onto the page, wrote some facts about February in white pen and added some gold liquid pearls and doodles some hearts to complete the page.
I chose img 421 from My Besties to make a card, then found out it was just a bit too big and overwhelming on a card, so instead I altered the cover of an art journal, where I try to draw faces.

Coloured with copic pens, pencils and some white paint.

CHNC Christmas #477

This week our challenge is Anything Goes with the option "use some green"  I am currently trying to declutter and go through the many drawers I have in my craftroom, whilst doing that I came across some wonderful Christmas prints, I have no idea where they came from, I am thinking someone sent them to me.  This is the first of 4 that I have used in making cards.

Mounted onto patterned green paper, I have added some curved edged die cuts.  The sepals on the flowers have a touch of glitter.

February is the month of love.

Come February and most people are look at love, hearts and roses.  My Husband and I got married in February,. No, not on St Valentine's Day, in fact I don't think we even knew about it way back then.  February 5th was chosen because I wanted a hot day, Dad said pick the first Saturday after the kids go back to school, it is always hot.  Now, looking back over 48 years, I think this is the only year where that Saturday has been cold.

I have made a mixed media double spread in this year junk journal to celebrate the 48 years.  The images are from Twistoon (formerly Bloobel), Lisa is running a monthly progressive challenge on her FB page.  Check it out and have some fun with her drawings.  There is a freebie each month and a discount for other images.

I chose Oh No Nannette for my freebie this month and thought I needed a groom, so I bought Heart Spring to go with Nannette,


So much going on, don't know If I will remember everything, gesso, acrylic paints, water soluble pencils and pastels, inks, permanent markers, paint pens and a stamp.  Lots of my scribble both written and doodled.

Both the images have been coloured with copic pens and pencils.  Clothes are paper pieced, (seen to be doing a lot of this at the moment). For Spring Heart, the heart has also been paper pieced and fussy cut, I have drawn in the spring (it is on the image) and added the heart with a wobble spring.
