CSI # 37 & Once Upon A Sketch - Summer Days

Well doing well another challenge finished. This one I have really enjoyed it has my favourite colour in it blue. Tracy is always out and about in Darwin. She was at the V8's in this photo enjoying the sunshine and lovely warm weather. This is another week of http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com  and http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/ combining their challenges. Great idea I think.
 
 
 
 
The colour scheme was: black, white, medium light grey, deep blue sky and dark red.
The sketch from OUAS.
Evidence: Dots, red spotty tissue wrapping paper, circles
Testominy: I handwrote my journaling and used the word break
 
 
Products I used:
I decided to go a bit different and work on a black background. I sprinkled white liquidex ink around the page then used chipboard circles which I then painted with mm waterslide and kaiser cool grey paint. I used a white cotton doiley, manor house, green tara and prima flowers and a pima swirl to finish it off.

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
