I am a star POE 6

 Hi it is time again for a new challenge for team Diane over at Peace on Earth Christmas.  I love this moodboard as it is mostly white and I love white on white



For this one I chose to use a star die, which I think it is unbranded, and a reindeer die which I think could be Gummiapan however I really am not sure so could be very wrong.  No sentiment needed.  I used a snow embossing folder for the background.



Why not head on over to Peace on Earth Christmas and join in with the fun - we would love to see you there.

Hugz always

Mad for glitter 8


I made this for a little girl a couple of houses away from me
I am calling this one Mad for Glitter

The background I used fossillized amber, Cracked pistachio, wilted violet and picked raspberry distress oxide inks. I splattered with water and the used the bokeh effect using circle stencil and white pan pastel

For the tree I used Card-io set Winter tree with multiple stamping of the top to make it larger and more dense In Nocturne versafine clair. I drew the roots using black finliner.

I used the fairies from Card-io et Secret garden

I used white gel pen for the highlight

I used gold glamour dust for the bokeh circles, crystal glamour dust for the branches and roots
Using a glue pen I dotted randomly over tree, circles and roots and sprinkled Lavinia holographic glitter


Thank you for coming on over to visit - really appreciate it

Fluttering Dragonfly AAA

 Yes it is that time of the month for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and the theme chosen by Mugdha & Deekshita's is WATERCOLOURS


 I chose to make the background using a Tim Holtz flower stencil and watered down oxide inks.  I placed the ink on my glass mat, added water the placed the stencil down with the card over top.  

I cut an aperture in the front panel, place the background behind it.  I cut 2 dragonflies and place one on top of other and lifted the wings for dimension. I used a rose die unknown brand, cut twice and layered over the background.  The leaves I had cut off the flower I placed to the side on the panel.

                                                                        





                                        

Come on over and join in with this fun challenge over at AAA Birthday - we would love to see your art and to gain inspiration from you
