Fun Time Friday

It's been a couple of weeks since I sat down in my stamp room and just created.  I did it today!  I made a couple of ATCs for [my favorite] Around the World ATC Challenge; Clean and Simple.

 I think they are CAS enough.  I used a self made stenciled tissue paper for my background, along with a couple of inlaid flower die cuts.  The sentiments are from an older Neat & Tangled stamp set; Across the Card.

I am also entering this into the {PIN}spirational Challenge #312; embossing.  It's been a while since I played in this challenge - [both my bases are embossed].

===========================

I went on to make a couple of mixed media cover sheets. (Literally, just playing around).  I did use the colors on one of them from Color Throwdown #787.  I am also entering into a new to me challenge, Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge #103; Anything Goes Mixed Media.

 

I am really happy with both of these! 😀

 

That's it for me today.  Thanks challenges -I had a wonderful day!

Becca's Link Up

Becca, over at Damsel of Distressed is holding a link up for her 30th birthday give-a-way.  She has a super fun inspiration board.  When I saw that, I had to play along.

I used my Copics to color my "lines".  The happy is from Mama Elephant, and the bday is from Neat & Tangled Everyday Labels.  

As you can see from the board, I was inspired by the top panel of stripes.  I do love stripes :).

That's it for my Friday.  I hope you all have a great creative week end~

Couple of Challenges

I started my day [after the gym - yay me], by watching some of Dyan Reaveley's videos on spraying backgrounds.  Gosh that women kills at mixed media art journals!  I, at least got the sprayed background to work!

The Dylusion inks are fabulous!  So bright and vivid!  I used a bunch of colors.  I did learn, and will share with all of you, the hint given -- keep warm colors together, or cool colors together.  Should you mix the 2, you will get mud.  I always wondered what I was doing wrong... Now I know~ :)

I took one of my backgrounds and followed through with some multi media stamping.  I was inspired by the 2 Crafty Girls September Inspirational Challenge.

Again, with multi media you use so many products that I don't want to overwhelm you. Suffice to say, gesso, embossing paste, more sprays, and some stamps.  Yes, my hands are semi stained, but a baby wipe did take most of it off.  I was inspired by the grass grass photo, along with the bokeh photo.

To keep with my style, I also joined in at CASology; circles.

I used some stencil sponging,and Bo Bunny Stained Texture, with a sentiment from Neat & Tangled Everyday Labels. I do love circles! :)

A great day!  Thanks challenges!

Fab Friday Sketch

I saw the sketch for Fab Friday #70, and was inspired to use Jennifer McGuire's steps for creating the Faux Textured Metal Paper technique

I just love how pretty the shimmer is in real life. (Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't photograph real well.)  I used Avery Elle Happy and the bday from Neat & Tangled Everyday Labels.

 

Great sketch challenge~
