Simply Lovely Again..!!

Hello Creative Friends 

Another Summertime show of recent Alison Bomber stamps by 

PaperArtsy.. The Hydrangea is one of my favourites and in 

real time they lap up the sun even during a heatwave.. 

Stamped and embossed on a watercolour tag scrap I coloured with 

watercolour and pencil stamping text to fill the bare background. 

With a craft knife I carefully cut around random leaves to lift 

and add dimension popping dots of glitter glue in each centre 

as that's where the Hydrangea flower magic really happens 

Co-ordinating buttons and lace embellish with a trio of machine 

stitch colour edges it all.. simply lovely again 😊

Stay safe & creative everyone

Creative Artiste ~ #126 Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative friends 

Welcome to May and a new Challenge #126 @ 

Creative Artiste where *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

My DT project is an ode to Vincent Van Gogh and my 

own take on one of his Iris paintings from May 1889. 

His own painting ABOVE speaks volumes to me, 

a timeless interpretation of life and situations..

Dismissing all the blue/purple Irises I focused on 

the stand alone single white in my art journal..

On a stencilled background scraped with paint the Iris is stamped 

multiple times, cut and layered for dimension, painted with white 

gesso and given a glittery beard it's stem and leaves are made from 

old packaging, painted, coloured, cut and fashioned into shape. 

Laid upon old (on the turn) coloured texture paste, 

I added twisted beaded wire to ground the Iris.. 

Edged with stitch, washi and a strip of hand dyed 

lace, gold paint lightly tickles those raised areas.. 

I hope we @ Creative Artiste can inspire you to share YOUR 

Mixed Media Creations.. there's plenty more to see HERE.. 

Come share your own creativity in our May Challenge

Take care everyone 

Stay Safe & Creative

Happy Sunday with PaperArtsy..

*Happy Sunday*

Phew, what a week.. lets push it all behind and share some flowers

they always make things look a lot more beautiful.

One of my Favourite PaperArtsy sets of 2017

Designed by #Kim Dellow

Eclectica³ Kim Dellow 06

Coloured with Caran d'ache Pablo Pencils,

cut out and raised with foam pads then layered onto an infusions 

background that I'd stamped with the leaves stamp included in this set.

Using Jo Firths JOFY Stamp set 54

these have been stamped directly onto the Distress oxide 

background activated with That's Crafty Pale GOLD Sparkler Spray.

Coloured with a mixture of Alcohol markers and Supracolor pencils some of

the flowers have been machine stitched around as well as the edge of the card.

.. and finally Eclectica³ (Lin Brown) 23

I picked this up recently in the That's Crafty Clearance

Lucky Girl I am.

Beautiful Poppy stamped and embossed onto an infusions background,

cut out and layered on to another piece of infusions background

this time activated with BLUE Sparkler Spray from That's Crafty.

The sentiment is part of the stamp set and warms my heart each time I read it..

**Happy Sunday Everyone, and may your week Blossom**
