Orange and Yellow

 Hi guys,

We are due another heatwave and I have to work in a cold air conditioned office :(. However, I have been experimenting with my fluid art again, this time using some glasses we had but didn't use because they were too large, to make vases. Here is the first of the vases I have made, along with the resulting canvas (I don't like to waste the paints) and magnets.





I do not like the outcome of the magnets and the vase is quite rough in texture (which may soften once glossed of course). I do however quite like the canvas and the way that cells have formed in one corner, but the ribbons of colour are very distinct in the rest of the design.

Let me know what you think of these - your feedback helps me decide what to try next. 

I would like to enter these into the following challenges:
MMM #281 Blend two or three colours (yellow, red and green)
AYLI - non-card project - I am really into fluid art at the moment as it is quick to get a result and you can never really predict how it will end up.

Thanks for looking and I eagerly await your feedback,

For a baby

 Hi guys,

I am here to remind you we currently have the optional theme of bright or pastel colours over at Creative Moments. Here is my DT creation:


This is coloured with a variety of marker pens and then fussy cut using X-cut scalloped circle nesting dies, along with a base circle of green card. I then added Honey & Hugs stickers to finish.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:
ATSM #520 die-cuts

Thanks for looking,

Colouring Medium

 Good evening,

Our new challenge over at MAWTT gives you the opportunity to use your colouring mediums. Maybe you have some that you have not used for a while, or you have just invested in a new medium - now is the chance to get some use out of them. I have lots of images that I have coloured in my stash so I used this opportunity to use one of these and show it off.


This was coloured with promarkers and the cut using x-cut scalloped hearts nesting dies. The blue backer is an x-cut large label nesting die.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
SOS #577 You're so sweet
ATSM #520 Die-cuts or stencils

I thought I would also share another fluid art creation with you - using the drippings from my class I did for my work colleagues.


Thanks for looking,

Thanks with feathers

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge has started today at I Love Promarkers, and this will unfortunately be my last challenge on the DT. It is sad and I have so enjoyed being a part of the team, but I am not using my cards as quickly as I am making them and it is starting to get me down having so many boxes of cards around the house.

Anyway, here is my last DT inspiration for you, using an image from our sponsor Dr Digi. The optional theme is to add a button.


I coloured the ostrich with Promarkers and die-cut the sentiment from X-cut self-adhesive glitter paper. I left it simple and just added the two buttons (flowers and sunshine) to finish the card.

I would like t enter this card into the following challenges:
ATSM #520 Die-cuts/stencils
AlphabetChallenge - D for double (two buttons)

Thanks for looking and do check out the challenge blog!

Blue heart

 Hi guys,

I just wanted to share the magnet dip with you from the last tree ring pour I did. I realised I had not got a photo of it :)


I do love the way this one turned out with the blue really popping against the black. Shame there is so much reflection in the photograph!

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:

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:
CraftyCalendar - All about the men/boys (a masculine art panel)
dragonflydreams - Masculine

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:
