Cute mouse

 Hi guys

The new challenge started today over at MAWTT, with the theme of four-legged friends, and our current challenge continues at Creative Moments.

Here is my DT creation, using an image from Polkadoodles:

The image was coloured with alcohol markers before being fussy cut. I used a small 3x3 paper stack from the Range for my backing paper and then simply added the little mouse to this. I finished the card with a peel-off sentiment and love hearts.

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

ATSM #524 Any Occasion

Addicted-to-CAS #315 Anniversary

Allsorts #857 All Creatures Great and Small

Leaving cards - cross stitched

 Hi guys,

I just wanted to share the two leaving cards I made for some senior members of the team. these cards are cross stitched and involve a couple of different designs put together to make the final design.

This first one was for a Spanish colleague. She was going travelling in America before moving on to her new job, hence the sentiment.

This was for a lady that was moving her family over to Australia! A hell of a move. She loved the extra additions on the back :)

Blown Tile

 Hi guys,

So this is my first tile for the new bathroom. Using the Shelee bloom technique to create the tile with black, yellow, purple and blue acrylic paints made to a medium consistency.

This second photo shows some of the lacey cells that formed from this technique. To create this tile I made two puddle pours, one at each side of the tile, with a single layer of each colour. I then blew on this paint puddle to push the paint out to the sides and corners of the tile, causing the paint to fold over itself while it is being blown. The bottom paint is more noticeable once finished with the top colour being hidden under the others.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post,

Christmas Bauble

 Hi guys,

I have made some Christmas baubles using two different techniques. I wanted to try both ways of creating the baubles before going ahead and doing a whole set. So I chose some left over paints that needed to be used, layered them in two dirty cups and then painted some baubles.

This is the first one - made by pouring the paint inside the bauble and twisting to allow it to run around the inside. The difficulty with this version is getting the paint evenly coating the inside of the bauble.

This one used the same paint but this time I covered the outside of the bauble. The difficulty with this version is finding something to hold it up, as you don't want it sitting directly on the canvas, plus it easily falls over. For me I couldn't get it to stay upright and so it has these little marks on it where I had to use something to sit it on to keep it steady.

However, they were good fun to create and I will be doing some more with the clear plastic baubles that would not otherwise get used.

Vase in black

 Hi guys,

I have changed the colours slightly for my next vase, using a black base instead of white. The colours I used were Liquitex paints in primary red, primary blue, primary yellow, mid-green and mars black. Here is the result:

As you can see the black did overpower the colours slightly unfortunately, but there is some nice patterning on the vase. The canvas is quite a subtle, nebula-like effect. Very spacey I think anyway.

Fridge magnets from vase pour

 Hi guys,

I meant to share these magnets in yesterdays post but forgot. These are from the drippings from the vase and canvas pours on my previous post.

The second one is just from the vase paint left overs, whereas the first one is also from the canvas that included the blue paint, hence the pretty blue areas on the magnet. I have to say that for me the blue adds much needed drama to the magnet - what do you think?

I would like to enter these into the SimonSaysMonday - fun with paint challenge.

Thank you for looking,
