Ok something new for me. This is a set of Moos for a swap on CraftBubble. They are tiny compared to what I'm used to but I did enjoy doing them.

Welcome to my world

Yay kids back at school today, not so yay that I have to get up and dressed early!! At least I'll be able to craft a bit more now.

Today I'd like to show you a card I made using inks and watercolour paper for My Mums Craft Shop.

First I took a piece of square watercolour paper slightly smaller than my card blank and spritzed it with water. Then I sprayed over some of the gorgeous Dylusions ink sprays in Bubblegum Pink and Vibrant Turquoise. When mixed they make the purple colour. On a previous card I used the Cheery Lynn mini fanciful flourish die but I didn't want to throw away the waste so on this card I used it as a stencil with cream acrylic paint. To add a little texture I used a Tando Creative sequin waste mask with a little black ink. The border was made with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and paper from the Prima Doodle Deux paper pad. I inked the edges with TH milled lavendar distress ink. I then used a piece of ribbon to put across the middle and made a bow. As you can see I even kept the butterflies from the punch outs to use on my card. I added little pink gems to their centres. The flowers and girl are from the Creative Expressions - Artful Ladies collection. The flowers were stamped in versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder,cut out and a gem added. The lady is coloured in Copics and her wings are covered in shimmer mist. To finish off I added the sentiment which is from Creative Expressions - Art Sayings.

Everything is available from My Mum's Craft Shop.

You can see lots of great inspirational projects on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog here.

Cute Card Thursday

Another Thursday , time is flying this year. My kids go back to school on Tuesday!!!

Anyway it's Thursday so it's Cute Card Thursday Challenge time again and this week the theme is

Tag You're It

We would like to see a tag or a tag on your project.

I've made a tag.

So I started off with a kraft tag and covered it with ripped pieces of  bookprint papers. I then sprayed them with dylusions inks. Next I stippled cream paint through some sequin waste to make the dots. The image is a Gorjuss girl , I think it's called Owl. I coloured her with Copics and cut her out. The sentiment is from Creative Expressions - Art Sayings. The edges are inked and then I sprayed the whole thing with perfect pearls shimmer.

As always there is a prize for one lucky winner. Hope to see your tag project at Cute Card Thursday.

Remember the 3 tags from the post at the bottom of the page? Well there were 6, I used 3 and now I've created the other 3.

The backgrounds have been done with Dylusion spray inks and acrylic paint and stamps. The foregrounds have all been made with Sam Poole's Creative Studio stamp range. The figures have been coloured with Copics and the stamped embellies have been stamped out of a Prima Fairy Belle pad.

Stamps: Creative Studio  Art Sayings, Butterfly Girl, Artful ladies.

Tags

Another post from me today!! I was watching a Dina Wakley video where she was saying you should just put some colour down onto some tags and it inspires you. So I did!! And this is what I made.

They all have Dylusions sprays for backgrounds and various masks, stamps etc.

For this one I embossed it and went over with a white powder. The sun, cloud and crow are images from Crowabout Studio B. I then used some Making Memories rub ons.

For my second tag I've used a Stampotique stamp, sequin waste and Lisa's Altered Art words. The white circles are acrylic paint on a glue lid top.

My third tag is a Lisa's Altered Art image and I've used cream paint through a mask for the tiny squares.

I've made 6 tags altogether 2 each of the same background. Not used the other 3 yet so we'll see what I do with them later.

An ATC and Creative Studio stamps

Over the last few days I've bought some stamp sheets from Creative Studios. I've shown you one card that I've made and I have one to show you this Thursday for my DT card on Cute Card Thursday. Well today I wanted to show you an ATC that I made.

I've used two sets Artful ladies and Art Sayings from Creative Studio. I am very impressed with the customer service that Sam supplies. Each time I've ordered the stamps have arrived the next day. And they are great to work with! Love to sit and cut out the images from a sheet, the rubber smells so good!! Weird I know!

So back to my ATC here are the supplies I've used

Stamps: Creative Studios - Artful Ladies & Art Sayings
Background: Dylusions spray inks
Embossing powder: WOW white
Colouring medium: Copics

A quick tag

Just wanted to show you a quick tag I made this afternoon.

Paper: Tim Holtz Kraft resist pad
Inks: Dylusions spray inks
Stamps: Sam Poole creative studio
Paint: Do Craft acrylic paint

Spread your wings Journal page

Here is another art journal page I just finished. A generous lady called Lesley stamped some Dylusion images for me so I thought I'd better get to it and make something. So the background is lots of Dylusion inks, acrylic paints, stamps, rub ons, stencils, masks etc. The image is from Dylusions and she's called Curious Corrin she has been coloured with the Dylusions inks but the face is using Copics. I also put a little lace along the bottom of her dress for a bit of texture. The quote is also another set from Dylusions and if I remember rightly it's called Quintessentials. The butterfly at the top left is stamped onto acrylic and coloured with perfect pearls. Suitcase and wings are from Indigoblo. Oh and forgot that at the very beginning I adhered a napkin onto the blank page to add texture.

Bit late but here is my May journal page.

I've used Dylusions spray inks and randomly painted over some acrylic paints. Along the bottom of the page I've stamped a Michael Powell stamp. Lots of stamping ,doodling , rub oning inking etc later it's finnished. Oh and also added the collage girl and saying.

Forgot to show you this postcard. It was made for a swap on UKStampers

The theme was Feathered Friends. I used Dylusions inks for the background on top of Papermania Urban papers. I then cut out one of the images from the papers and adhered it to the postcard using gel medium. The three hearts are wooden and I covered them with more of the inks. The quote is computer
generated.

Her eyes are sad

Today I wanted to show you a tag I made.



I used a plain kraft tag and gessoed on a patterned napkin. Then on went some of the gorgeous Dylusion spray inks. I sprayed them onto my craft mat and then smooshed the tag into them. Next step was to lightly brush over some light acrylic paint leaving some areas bare. I then stamped a butterfly image in black aon the top left and bottom right.
The image is a digi image from My Creative Bliss which I coloured with Copics and a white posca pen. I then sprayed it with glimmer mist. After sticking it to the tag I went around it with a tiny bit of the acrylic paint to tone it into the background. Next I cut out 2 butterflies from a scrapbook paper and stuck them onto the tag. Just cut out the quote and went around this and the whole tag with a little black ink.

Simon says stamp and show a ......Tag!

My first is "The other girls"

My second tag is called "For god's sake"



And finally my third tag is "Find the beauty"



All the tags have been inked with my new Dylusions ink sprays, really vibrant colours. I've used a variety of stamps and collage pictures and of course my fav texture gesso.
