Scrapbookers Anonymous January Challenge.........

Happy New Year !!!!! Today is the first challenge of 2012 over at Scrapbookers Anonymous and we are asking you to use paint, inks,mists and masking. I decided to do a She Art canvas, my friend's daughter was 21 last month, she is an art student and I thought she'd like this, the sentiment says 'Create from the Heart', her Mom said she loved it and is now up on her bedroom wall at Uni.

I covered the canvas in old book pages and dressmaking patterns, when dry I did some random stamping and created the She Girl then it was onto the fun, messy bit with paints, mists and stencil paste. I used the stencil paste with the brick and dotty masks to give some dimension and added some rub-ons over her dress. The stamped flowers were coloured in using Faber Castell paint pens.
Check out what the other designers have come up with over at Scrapbookers Anonymous and this month's great prize for one lucky person.
I'm in Spain at the moment, celebrating the New Year and here's wishing you all a very Happy, Healthy New Year. Back soon !!!!!!

Happy Crafting

She Art Postcard.........

Hello there, as you know I love to take part in the challenges over at City Crafter Challenge Blog espescially when they include a swap, week #81 is to make a postcard to send to your swap partner along with a small Thanksgiving gift but talk about the 11th hour, I have just managed to finish it with a few hours to spare to enter.
I purchased the She Art Workshop some months ago but didn't get chance to do anything with it so I decided to give one a go but on a postcard rather than a canvas. I used some Girls Paperie papers, adhered them to a postcard and white-washed the whole lot,then the fun part began making my girl then adding random stamping, rub-ons and using some glitter stencil paste through a dotty stencil.

Here's the back using some Tim Holtz and Crafty Individuals stamps.

I've really enjoyed creating this and geting messy with ink, paints and paste and will definitely be doing more mixed media.
Have a good day.......
