Christmas ATCs


Just a quick post to show you some mixed media ATC cards I made for Worldwide ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap Group on facebook organised by Kylie, owner of Happy Little Stampers. I had lots of fun making these! If any of my blog friends would like to swap an ATC with me, please let me know.

Leaves


Inspired by the Uniko inspiration (Wonderful World with optional twist of Thanks) and colours at CAS Watercolour. (2nd birthday).

I smooshed distress inks, heated embossed the leaves (from the Uniko Gerbera set) in white and fussy cut them.

AECP All About Layering 2


This is my project for the All About Layering 2 module of the Altenew Educator Certification Program.

I was inspired by the some of the watercolour examples in class. 

The flower from Peony Bouquet was stamped and masked, the leaves stamped and everything loosely watercoloured.  I wanted to do something a bit different with the sentiment, not sure if it works.

CAS Christmas GD




I'm very honoured to be this month's Guest Designer at CAS Christmas where the theme is "Bird" and there is still plenty of time to join in the fun.

I used a holly triptych die, sponged with green ink, was going to use a sponged background but decided to go for the soft grey card then faffed about where to position the bird, centre or right?

Thank you for visiting my blog!
