The Seasons of Change!

Welcome to  our New Challenge over at Cut It Up

All over the world the Seasons are changing.

Spring has sprung in my surrounds but

we are looking for colours of Fall/Autumn.

Here's close up of the colours.

I got out my set of  Lindy's Magical's Autumn Leaves,

sprinkled and sprayed them on a sheet of water colour paper

and cut the backgrounds in various colours,

cut the heads in white and glued them off to the side.

Background is a texture die cut from Kaisercraft.

Arranged my leaves and popped.

I thought the sentiment fitted the theme nicely.

Adhered to whte card base.

The Team have created some fun and fabulous array of

all things Fall/Autumn related for your pleasure.

Now it's your turn to share with take in our Gallery.

Spring has Sprung!

Welcome to today's post for  Just Us Girls

I am Host for this week's challenge

and as Spring has arrived in my neck of the woods

I chose these beautiful bunches of FLOWERS!

I am sure we have all had a card that was nothing like

what we planned and this one is just that.

I had intended to ink up a floral stamp and colour it

but couldn't decide which one. In the end 

I went with Tim's Wildflower Stems 1

and again changed my layout umteen times.

The colours turned out nicely but not exactly what I wanted.

Background is Tim's Splatters

and a bit of grungy stamping.

Scrunched up and inked a bit of word tissue paper

and arranged my floral bouquet on top.

Added a bit of shine to the centre of the flowers.

Spring sentiment is from CUTplorations.

Head over and check out how our Guest Nancy

and the Team showered our blog with all things floral.

See you there

This IS in My Garden...

 We are looking for What's In Your Garden at

Cut It Up

As you know I recently moved house and the villa

we moved in didn't have much of a garden so - 

I am in the process of changing that as I do love a garden.

It is only very small so I have been busy potting

as well as adding some colourful flowers and shrubs.

I chose to try and replicate one shrub that has a

beautiful pink flower. It is in a pot sitting on

pebble stones like I embossed here and behind it

is the brick wall. Added lots of greenery

 from a few dies.

I decided to ground the pot with bauxite stones

and cover the pot with art stones.

Sentiment fitted perfectly.

The Talented Team have amazing takes on

'What's in their Garden'

Now it's your turn to show us by

addng to our Gallery.

Thanks for visitng.

See it 'GROW'

 

It's been a long time coming but 

 I am back getting inky for our September AG

Mixed Media at Creative Artiste Mxed Media

I haven't quite finished sorting out my MM supplies

so have gone with some more 'easy to find items' here.

The piece I used for my die  cut tag is one 

made quite some time ago.Tim's die cut flower

is also from a scrap I had sitting around.

Got out some favourite AALL&Create stamps 

for the background stamping, adding some stencilling.

The pot is popped and I added some 

sisal and art stones.

Inked the edges and fnished with 

some wrapping ribbon.

Sorry there are no progress photos

as craft time is still limited.

Head over to our blog and check out

what creativity is in store for you there by the Team.

Be inspired and join in with your Mixed Media

to our Gallery.

Case a DT Week!

It's our Case a DT Week at Just Us Girls 

and our week to make whatever we fancy

for you to choose one of the DT makes and case it.

Just be sure to say who's card you chose.

I got out my favourite Visible Image Stamp Set

Creative Chaos. I love that big flower as it is

an easy one to add a popped head as I have done here.

The background and flower head are from 

a shaving cream session some time ago. 

Inked the flower with VersaFine Clair Nocturne

 then popped the cut out head highlighting

with another piece with more colour.

Inked the edges and added strips of black

with a credit card -

(thanks to Karen Dunbrook who showed us this trick)

Added a little bling to the flower with Lindy's Marvel-ous EP.

Finished with sentiment inked and torn from the set.

Head over to our Gallery to see what the Team created

and choose the one you want to case.

Looking forward to seeing yours there also.

Thanks for visiting.

Don't Ruffle My Feathers!

 Today's post is for our New Challenge at Cut It Up

and we are looking for the popular

ANYTHING GOES!

I thought I would dig out an old favourite 

stamp/die set from SU and go with

Kraft card stock.Two feathers were inked with

VersaFine Clair and the third is vellum.

Inked the background with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment ink

and splatters for interest.

Finished with twine.

Simple sentiment that I thought fitted perfectly.

Check out the variety of lovelies created by

our Talented Team and then head over and

add your make to our Gallery.

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and I have another 

oh so CAS one.

This isn't my first attempt - how hard is it to create

with something as simple as a stencil!

Today was thank goodness productive.

Stencil-ing was inked with Tim's Distress inks

from  ARTlorations.

Floral stamping with VersaFine Clair popped

and a little bit of ribbon was all it needed to complete.
