Paint It

Hello and good morning!

It's time for another challenge at City Crafter and this week I am your host

The theme is Paint It

Source

The challenge to you is to

Make a card or project that includes a painted backgound

You can use any sort of medium, Paint, watercolour, mists, distress stains

As long as your background is "painted"

I had a little fun with some acrylic paint

and a glass tumbler

This was a card for a friend of mine who happens to be an artist and sculptor 

I'm happy to say that she loved this random painting and framed my card!

Somedays it's just nice to get messy and see what turns out ... there's no mistakes in art I always say

This week at CCCB we have the talented Natalia guesting for us ... Be sure to click on the link and visit her blog ... she creates the most stunning projects

And don't forget to hop over to CCCB and see what the rest of the DT have in store for you ...

I do hope you'll get 'artsy' with us this week and join in the challenge ... 

Have a great day!

Till soon

Bright and Cheerful

Hello there!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter ... We caught up with my brother and SIL on Saturday and my DH went to the match yesterday leaving me to rest ... To be honest I still wasn't feeling well

For a while I've been making cards using up little bits of left over card and things I have laying around ... little bits of card are great for stamping, sponging etc., or just trying out an idea
Here's one that I made to send to the winner of my blog candy following the CCCB celebrations

I used a stencil with some modelling paste on a scrap of card and when it was dry I sponged the whole thing with different inks

The tiny tag was reclaimed from a shop bought card, and the main card was one I had embossed some time ago and then never used

I like the texture with the plain card sandwiched between and I'm enjoying using up bits of card and experimenting with different techniques

A little birdie told me there's a challenge going on over at the Ribbon Girl 

which is to use yellow/Lemon so I'll be entering this card over there

Ok, I'm off to grab some tea now so have a lovely day and I'll be back tomorrow 

Stay safe

Happy Easter and Transport

Happy Easter to you!!

A wonderful time of year that signifies New Beginnings

On this beautiful sunday morning we have a new word prompt at

Our Beautiful World

I got to pick the prompt this week which is

Transport

I'm not sure why I picked that word ... I guess I'm just curious as to the different forms of transport around our world and maybe what your preference is ...

... I enjoy seeing the world through your eyes ... places and cultures I will never know first hand

Perhaps you like to travel leisurely along the canals

... or maybe you prefer something a little bigger

The freedom of the open sea ...

It could be that you harbour a love of classic vintage travel ...

Open roads and glorious countryside

A little off - roading ... Oops!

Or a four legged friend

Whether it's trains ...

... or planes

We'd love you to share with us at

Our Beautiful World

Have a blessed Easter and a beautiful day

I made her this card to let her know we care

I've used 4 of those colours

I hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend
