Happy New Year

Hello. 

Sorry I have been awol for awhile, its been so busy here. 

Here are some of the things I have been working on. 

I am over on the Ranger blog this week with a step by step project. 

My January page for the Dylusions facebook challenge.

I have been tidying up my craft corner too. Do you think I have too much Dylusions? I personally do not think you can ever have too much Dylusions. 

Dylusions stamps all in a row.

Journals, most are full. 

A mini blender for every colour. 

A couple of pocket letters. 

Some journal pages.

A couple of tags from December Dylusions Facebook Challenge. 

My upcoming workshops are here. 

Dylusions Flipbook.

Tim Holtz Canvas. 

Stampotique ATC album.

Vintage Tim Holtz Style Journal Pages.

I hope to see you at one of the classes.

Take care and thank you for stopping by. 

Coffee App

Morning all.

Its my turn over on the Saturated Canary Blog today and this is my creation.

I have created a small book to practice my colouring and also to use up some of my left over bits of decorative papers. 

This is the front cover.

I have used Saturated Canary digi image Coffee App and you can find her HERE

The decorative papers are all from Graphic 45 An ABC Primer collection. The words are a Dylusions stamp set called Word Love, which I stamped onto sticky backed canvas which I had covered with Tim Holtz Distress ink Vintage Photo.  

I coloured the image with both Promarkers and Copics. I am slowly collecting more Copics and so need lots of practice. 

Hopefully I will be back soon with some of the inner pages of the book. 

Have a great day.

Witchkeys

Afternoon everyone. 

I have my latest Saturated Canary Design Team make to share with you today. 

I used Witchkeys digital stamp from Saturated Canary. I coloured it with my Promarkers and copics. 

This is on a 9x12" canvas board from Ranger.

I used Dylusions Paint on the background in Dirty Martini and Squeezed Orange. 

I used Dylusions stamp set Bits and Bats for the spider webs and Bits of This for the spider. 

I used some watered down black paint to splat with. 

The stencil was Dylusions Diamonds in the small size. I put Ranger Texture paste through the stencil to create some dimension. 

After covering the whole thing with Tim Holtz Distress Collage medium I then went to work with the new Distress Crayons blending all over the canvas.  Before finally going round the edge of my characters with a black Stabilo pencil and blending. 

Supplies were from

September Dylusions Challenge.

Morning all.

well September sees the Dylusions Facebook Challenge turn 1. 

Yes the challenge has now been going for a year. 

It doesn't seem like a year since I set it going but it has been fun. 

Here are my September pages. 

The background is Dylusions paints. 

All stamps are Dylusions.

I used Copics and Promarkers to colour the face and a Black Posca pen for the writing and doodling. 

Background is Dylusions black paint.

All stamps are Dylusions and I used a Dylusions Stencil for the border. 

I used black posca pen for the characters and a white Posca pen for all the doodling. 

All supplies can be found at Art From The Heart. 

My next Class at Art From The Heart is Sunday 11th October. Please click 

Here to book a place. 

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Floral Canvas

Morning. 

I have a canvas to share with you today. 

I used these 3 Dylusions paints. Crushed Grape, London Blue and Linen White. 

Using the new Dina Wakley Media brushes I apply the paint to the canvas. 

I then added some Dylusions inks in Blue and Purple with some water straight over the top to water the colours down. 

I added some Dylusions stencils with the Dylusions white linen spray. 

Using my Dylusions journal block I created a border around the canvas and using the black Dylusions paint I painted the border in. 

Once the black paint has completely dried I then doodled with my white pen around the edge. 

I  made some flowers using the Dylusions Fancy Floral set and attached them to the canvas.

I then added some writing using a Fuse ball pen. 

I had so much fun with this, just need to find somewhere to put it now, lol.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Black and White Addiction Continues

Morning all.

I have 2 canvases to share with you today. 

As you will see my black and white addiction is continuing.

Both canvases are covered with Dylusions black paint.  

The first canvas is 8"x12".

I used Shrooms and  Bits of This Dylusions stamp sets. 

I coloured the image in with Promarkers and Copics. I also used a Black Posca pen.

 I used a Signo Uniball White pen to free hand a doodle around the edge and to write the words.

The next canvas is an 8"x8" canvas. 

Here I used Endeavour and Daddy Long Legs Dylusions stamp sets.

I again coloured with Promarkers and Copics.

I really enjoyed making these. They are so quick and easy to do and yet are very striking. 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Canvas Hearts

Morning all.

I have something different to share with you today. 

This is definitely out of my comfort zone but

I can honesty say I had a total ball doing these and I came away with all my fingers intact. (if you know me well you will totally understand that that was a miracle). 

I have never used a sewing machine before and so it was defiantly a challenge but the lovely Dyan Reaveley was terribly patience and showed me how.

This is what I created.

How awesome are these?

 I am totally in love with them. I had seen photos of them before from Dyan's American classes but never thought I would be able to do them. 

This is them in progress. 

I also just have to show you my fabaroonie new lunchbox that my Bestie Gemma bought for me for Xmas. 

I usually turn up in class with one of my son's lunchboxes. But no more as I have my awesome Alice in Wonderland lunch tin. 

Here are each individual heart with its reverse. 

I added some Star Dust Stickles here and there on each after I got home.

I will be teaching my first class at Art From The Heart next Saturday so if you would like to book on, please follow this link here.

Here is some idea of the things we will be doing. 

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment I would love to know what you think to my first sewing attempt.
