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.

I would like to enter these creations into the following challenge:

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,

Shimmer Metallic Glowworm

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge went live this morning at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of shimmer and shine. To make my card shine I used metallic pencils on the glow-worm that Glinda is riding on.

I simply cut the image into a rectangle, and then trimmed some circle patterned paper for behind and layered onto a blue card. Room has been left for the sentiment.

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

TIOT - Animals, real or imaginary

inkspirational #371 Summer vibe

I have also done a second fluid art vase, with matching canvas of course.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look at my blog,

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.

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,
