The Silver Sea Fluid Art Panel

 I wanted to do a slightly larger panel for a change, in order to try a travelling ring pour. My colours were blue, bronze, black and white and the panel is 10x24 inches.



This was difficult to photograph due to the reflectivity of the bronze in the painting.

I would like to enter this panel into the following challenges:

Pastel palette

 Hi guys,

Our June challenge started today over at Creative Moments with the optional theme of Bright or Pastel colours. Now I chose to do a fluid art creation for my piece to show something other than papercraft and give people inspiration to maybe try something a little different. The colours that I chose to use, by themselves, were reasonably bright - mid yellow, mid red, red-orange, apple green and azure blue, along with white. However, when they combine together they create a lovely pastel colour palette.


I would like to enter this creation into the following challenge:

Seafaring Mice

 Hey guys,

We have a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers today, with the optional theme of By the Sea. I love this challenge as it encompasses so many options. We are sponsored by the whimsical Di's Digi Stamps, and I chose to use this lovely mice in a newspaper boat digi stamp for my card.


The image was coloured with promarkers before being fussy cut. I used a patterned background block which can in a paper booklet from a magazine a few years back. I thought this was perfect for a sea backdrop for my little mice. To finish I simply added some drop diamantes as sea splashes.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for looking,

Cross Stitch Bookmark

 Hey guys,

We have a new challenge starting today over at Moving Along with the Times, with the theme of Use your Favourite...Stamp, die or tool. My favourite tool for card making is thread and needle, however it does take quite a while to create a card so I do not make that many. I also love using dies to create aperture cards.

Here is my bookmark that I stitched up just in time for this challenge to go live.


This was a free kit with The World of Cross Stitching magazine and I do love the colours used for the birds. So nice and bright - perfect for summer.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Masculine Bear on Motobike

 Hey guys,

Thanks for popping back to see my finally finished bear on motorbike, using the pencils class from Kit and Clowder to colour this one. I am limited in my pencil colours, so it looks nowhere near as detailed (I only have 24 colours). This is my inspiration for our Masculine challenge over at Creative Moments.


I am quite happy with how he has turned out - now I just need to find a frame for him before Father's Day! Do pop over to the blog to find more information about our sponsor.

I would like to enter him into the following challenges:
