Tie A Yellow....

... Ribbon.... Yellow is this months Colour Challenge over on the Ribbon Girl blog...I've made a small gift box..approx 5x5 inches. Here's your chance to win a £10 voucher to spend on a little bit of lovliness  in The Ribbon Girl shop and a £10 voucher from  LOTV....

It's easy.....just head on over here and post your yellow project.

If you're wondering where the tiny tag is from ... it's from Die-namics, Notched Tags.

A Few...

.. Cards..I'm absolutely bereft of inspiration at the moment so I've just been clagging stuff on pieces of card and shuffling paper around..

I think I need to get back to my inky grungy roots..

and put away the cute glittery stuff.

Or maybe find a happy medium..

I have the same problem with dressing myself..a contant battle of styles.. one minute its boho stuff the next its preppy stuff.. although at the moment it's if it fits wear it!.. she says... stuffing herself with popcorn!

Flower Power...

...make your own!...with these stamens, diamante or pearl centers from 3djean and a few punches...
Punch out the flowers, clip to almost the center and use a round ended pen to add a little dimension to the petals.

Layer up the shapes and add the stamens and the centers. I used the stamens as antenna on the butterflies

Pretty!

I think I may add a little more bling to the bunny.. maybe a necklace.

and an eye!

EfemeraInk

.. met on Monday, we decorated canvases, instead of paper, stamps and Mod Podge we used fabrics..this is a brief description of how we did it.... first cover the canvas with a layer of thin lace or tulle, use PVA glue, then add patches of thick lace, glue down..cover everything with gesso..

add extra depth and texture with chipboard shapes.. glue down and gesso.. I used the same brush all the time, next time I think I will make up a mixture of equal parts gesso and glue.

The aim was to get everyhing 'melded' together and create a textured surface.Colour was added with spray inks.. sprayed on and wiped off and extra bits added with a paintbrush. Extra embellishments added when everything was dry. Add the focal point.. I used a Tim Holtz doll... with a crown of course.

I love this bling stuff.. you can get it here..

This one is a work in progress... I wanted a little more colour this time..the flowers were gessoed and inked, layered and stamens stuck in the middle.

I'm Still....

..trying to get back to normal.. time just seems to be running away, so much so I forgot about the December Challenge over on the Ribbon Girl... to be fair it's usually my turn in the middle of the month but this month there will be only one challenge... so hop on over for the chance to win a voucher for £20 to spend on lovliness in the shop.

There's nothing like a bit of bling at Christmas.

 

..and one of my favourite Suzi Blu stamps.
