First time in ages...............*

I am blogging a project I have just made and it is not a DT piece.  I used a coffee jar, bottle and a home decor piece.  I painted them all black and added black leaves. white - ish colour silk flowers bought from a pound shop deconstructed and reconstructed, pearl spay, pearl lace and calico.  A simple project and I have to say I really do love them myself - makes a change!  

Now for the pics.

March Challenge over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit *

So here we are again - challenge time over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit and for this month I altered an olive jar and I had gold in my mind lol and more gold and more gold.  I treated myself to some spray paints and a clear lacquer and this is the end result.  The metal pieces were from my overloaded stash lol.

Please head on over to Rhedd's and join in with our fun challenge and don't forget to give the DT ladies some love

March challenge over at Eclectic ellapu *

For the challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu the theme is Spring colours or Easter.  

It has been a long, long time since making a card and I thought what the heck lol. 

 I used this gorgeous image from Delicious Doodles.  I coloured it using my prisma pencils and promarkers and then covered it in Rock Candy as you will see in the close up pic.  I embossed the white background and used ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment I had lurking about in the corner of my stamp drawer so that was handy! Quite a quick and simple card - just what the doctor ordered lol. 

So here are the pics.....

That's it for today - don't forget to head on over and join in with this months challenge
