Go Tag Thursday -- Texture

On Go Tag Thursday the theme is Texture. I love lots of texture and started my tag with some corrugated card and ripped some of the top layer away. I stuck on several textured bits and used a stencil with texture paste for more texture. I gessoed the whole tag and then painted it with Fresco paints. I finished off with a few die cut seahorses.

The Craft Barn Two Weekly Challenge -- Poppy

The Craft Barn Fortnightly challenge is "Poppy" As I can never resist poppies I have made a couple of quick cards before I go off for a crafty weekend. The restriction was it was monochrome with a dash of red. The stamp is from Sheena Douglas. If I had the time I could have made loads of cards, as I collect poppy stamps.

Art Journal Journey -- Collage with no faces, leaves or wings.

When I first started this page for Art Journal Journey, I had a lovely selection of trees, a real leaf etc, then my brain took over and I put them all away. This is the version I ended up with, totally different from the one I started out with.
I love time and steampunk themes, so might end up doing a steampunk one later on. Most of the things here were in my scrap box, so all they needed was a colour makeover.

Thursday Journal with Neet

This week we had to include a butterfly, and as you can see I couldn't stick to one. I stamped loads of butterflies and coloured them with my Staedtler fineliners. These are really great for filling in very small spaces, and the colours are very clear.
I used an already inked page with a flower stencil as a background. I stamped some Tim Holtz flowers and coloured them. I gave one of Dyan's ladies some butterfly wings, and the rest was a glue down job. The light is so bad today that the top scan is very dark.

Art Journal Journey -- Collage with no faces, leaves or wings.

Another page for Art Journal Journey with the theme of collage with no leaves, faces or wings.
I started this with the basic collage in blues, then I lost the way, stuck on some orange circles as a contrast, then lost the plot completely. Went to the kitchen did some cooking, came down after dinner looked at it and thought sea. So that's what I did, did a bit of die cutting a lot of glueing and that was it finished.

Tag Tuesday -- Reindeer/stags

It must be getting near Christmas as this weeks Tag Tuesday is Reindeer/Stags. I have used a die cut for the deer and trees and used puff paint for the snow on the trees. The background is distress ink sprayed with white Dylusion ink. The tree in the front is on foam pads to make it more 3 D
I am also putting this on Try It On Tuesday where the theme is Trees are free- or any other colour.
