French Country Canvas

Decided to make myself a few new canvas's to go in the kitchen. I love these Graphic 45 papers and they are a perfect match for my rustic style kitchen.
The background colour is a mixture of guacamole,chocolate pudding and orchid Fresco paints, spritzed with water then blended together for an aged look.
I'm entering this in to Ali-Crafts first challenge, anything goes.

Lovely Lavender with Lavinia Stamps

The challenge over at Lavinia Stamps this time is purple, not a colour I'm comfortable with, but have given it a go. I've built up quite a collection of their stamps over the years from Fishes to Fairies, but could I find my favourite stamp, no!!! So settled for another equally gorgeous Fairy falling from the sky instead. Good job Tracy doesn't have a shop as She is only half an hour away from me lol, it would be lethal!!!

Our Creative Corner

Spotted the theme over at "Our Creative Corner" and thought I'd share my re-cycled pen pot with you. It's made from an old baked beans tin with TH tatty flowers cut out of a foil tray, and painted with Mermaid Fresco paint. They have been attached with eyelets using the big bite. And finally I glued a scrap of pale blue ribbon from my stash around, as the flowers looked a little bit lost.
Love a good re-cycle!

LOTV challenge

Have had a lovely day getting inky, and topping up my card stash for the Country Market at the same time! It's been ages since I've had the luxury of a whole day playing in my workroom, but now my studies are done with, I have some spare time all for me!!!!
Love these little Bunnies they are so cute. I coloured them with promarkers and just added a touch a sparkle to the bubbles.

Dragons Dream TIO #144 Coastal, Mica and a Flourish/Crafty Individuals June Challenge

 

It's my turn over at Dragons Dream TIO to choose the theme, so how could I resist (this being the middle of Summer and all, and me living at the seaside),  having a coastal theme.

I've used a  chipboard  tag this time as I wanted a good solid base to work on.  The background was crated with a mixture of distress stains, mica powders and gilding wax. The sentiment is from Crafty Individuals and the flourishes are from HOTP.

You might have noticed I love Seahorses and they make an appearance whenever possible. This is one of Caroline's and has been painted up with Imagination Crafts mica powders, which are gorgeous in the flesh sadly photo's don't do them justice, finished off with Creative Expressions gilding wax and, erm, a snowflake!!!! Yep you read that correctly lol, the fin was made from an Alterations snowflake die using a couple of layers of tissue paper, see a snowflake is not just for Christmas lol.

Hope you pop along and join in our challenge this time, just please remember to use at least one real stamp on your tag. You will find a link to the challenge blog on my sidebar. 

I'm also going to see if I can enter this in to Crafty Individuals June challenge as well.
