Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes at We Love 2 Create

Good morning my lovelies, my second post today and this one is my project for our Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes challenge at We Love 2 Create. Those lovely people at Premium Craft Brands have some lovely crafty goodies just waiting for our lucky winner and you don't even have to use our products to enter! 

I've made a journal page for my DT project this time around. I began by cleaning my very gungy brick stencil that I 'd used on another project onto my page with a baby wipe. Its amazing how much texture paste is left on a stencil when you've finished using it. Once this was dryI added some colour with shades of brown PanPastels. I coloured the centre area with Bright Yellow Green and Shade PanPastels. I added some foamiran lilies that I'd made using stamps and dies from Sheena Douglass. I stamped the pink memento ink and then added colour with my Magenta PanPastel once I'd die cut the lilies. I coloured the bird cage and little birdie die cuts with PanPastels and then glued everything in place. The sentiment is from Indigo Blu, stamped with a mix of pink and green ink.

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

A Perfect time to craft: anything goes

Everybody Art: Summer/Tropical

Fussy and Fancy: Anything goes

Wonderful Wednesdays: Anything goes

Good morning folks, I hope you're having a good weekend. It time for a new challenge at  We Love 2 Create and of course our theme is 'Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes', you don't have to use our products to enter and our lucky winner will receive some lovely crafty goodies from Premium Craft Brands!

I've made another tag for my tag journal and used some of my favourite techniques with PanPastels. I began by blending Hansa Yellow, Diarylide Yellow and Hansa Yellow Tint over my tag. I stenciled the honeycomb with texture paste and then stencilled the rose with PanPastels. Next I applied a layer of glassy gel medium over the rose and added a layer of clear microbeads. 

I added some drips of 'honey' with some yellow Viva gloss gel and while everything was drying set to making the other bits and bobs for my tag. The butterflies and bees are Chocolate Baroque stamps, I stamped them on acetate with Stazon ink and then glittered them on the reverse. The sentiment is also from Chocolate Baroque, stamped and then die cut with the smallest of the Polkadoodles Elegant Nest Dies. I coloured the centre of the diectu with more panpastel. I added some cheesecloth and  twine to finish my little tag.

I'm entering this tag in the following challenges:

Good morning folks, it's a bit nippy here this weekend so I'm hoping to bunker up in my craft room and have a play. I've made another tag for my journal for our new challenge at We Love 2 Create where our theme is 'Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes'. My teamies have lots of inspiration for you and there's a fab prize of come gorgeous crafty goodies  from Premium Craft Brands lined up for our lucky winner.

I began by blending Magenta Extra Dark and Magenta Shade PanPastels over my tag, next I stamped using a script stamp from Polkadoodles and Memento Grey Flannel  ink. I stencilled the harlequin pattern using Maimeri Glassy Gel Medium and left that to dry. While it was drying I die cut the flowers, bird cage and foliage and stamped the images using the same grey ink. I coloured the images with PanPastels and a little water. 

Once the stencilling was dry I added some die cut shapes, coloured with PanPastels and highlighted with Pewter PanPastel. I added a little aged silver frantage powder here and there. I used a little twine to attach the bird cage and charm and found a little rose in my stash to coordinate with the tag.

I'm entering my tag in the following challenges:

Good morning my lovelies, it's time for a new challenge over at We Love 2 Create and our theme is 'Anything Mixed Media/Creative Goes' just for a change lol. We've got a fabulous prize of some crafty goodies from Premium Craft Brands for our lucky winner and you don't even have to use our products to enter!

For my DT project, I've made a spring themed canvas using my PanPastels. I began by using a little Hansa Yellow and Bright Yellow Green PanPastel on a canvas board, I blended it with Colourless Blender to give a soft wash of colour. I applied the same colours on some white card but added more depth by layering the PanPastels and then spritzing with glimmer mists. Once this was dry I tore it into trips and applied it to the canvas. Next came some texture paste through a stencil and a spinkle of glamour dust for some sparkle.

I made the flowers using Foamiran which I cut with Sizzix and Sheena  Douglas dies,  I'm soooo loving Foamiran at the minute! I've used Yellow and white Foamiran for these flowers and added a little colour with gelatos. T

he foliage was made using scraps of the backing card die cut with Polkadoodles dies. I stamped the sentiment (from IndigoBlu) onto another scrap of the backing card with versamark and embossed with White EP and distressed it with a craft knife. I layered the flowre and foliage up over a scrap of cheesecloth and a paper doily. For a finish touch I added a few little raindrops by applying dots of glossy accents and using a cocktail stick to drag the drops to create a drop shape.

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

Brown Sugar: no image, just a sentiment

Frilly and Funkie: put on your inking cap

That's Crafty: Bright

Good morning my lovelies, I hope you're having a good weekend. This morning's card is my project for our new challenge over at We Love 2 Create where we're sticking with a nice easy theme of Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes. I've used two of my favourite colours in the PanPastel range and some beautiful stamps and dies from Polkadoodles.

I blended turquoise and bright yellow green PanPastel on white linen card and blended with a little White Pearlescent medium for a little shimmer. I overstamped with the text stamp from Belle Papillon (Polkadoodles) using Teal memento ink and then with the foliage stamp from Bella Fleur with versamark before embossing with white EP.

I stamped the flowers with memento tuxedo black and die cut them with the coordinating die and coloured them with the same PanPastels, adding a little definition with Lyra pencils.

I stamped the sentiment on the largest of the Elegant Next die cuts and added some dots of pearl glue and some die cut foliage.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
