Hallowe'en

Hello on this Hallowe'en Wednesday…. today is my first Wednesday post over on the bubbly funk blog - this will now be my regular day, so you'll know where to find me!!

Today, I decided to do a one page book - I've not seen these before and they are really easy to do so I will be making many more!!


This is the front of my book.
Using my gelli plate, I added paint, added a stencil, and then took a print with an a4 sheet of paper.  Using one of the new Bubbly Funk Stencils (released tomorrow) I added stars to my sheet and painted.  Due to the base being paper it took a while for each stage to dry… and I must admit I did get a bit impatient!! Once dry I folded into the book.

I decorated each double spread separately….




each page was decorated using neocolour 2 pencils, stamps and doodles!!

Hallowe'en post 1

Hello, today its my turn over on the Tando Creative blog - the theme this week is Anything goes - so, on this hallowe'en's eve what else but a Hallowe'en project:-

I'm just loving these coins (as well as the cards), so I've made a pair…





So, both bases, were painted with orange, red and yellow acrylic paint and then had black added around the edges.  Hallowe'en was stamped onto painted paper and added along with some Tim Holtz Halloween pieces - and paper dolls were added. Some doodling was added around the edges using ink pens.

Pink Ribbons and threads

Hello, the theme this week, over on the Tando Creative blog, is:-

Pink Ribbons and Threads for breast cancer awareness month.

Here is my project:-



The base is a Tando ATC (Artist Trading coin) which was painted with Paperartsy Fresco acrylic paint.  Once dry another hue of pink was added through the bubbles stencil (which is vastly becoming my favourite, and much used stencil).  A deeper tone of pink was added to act as my "threads".  I tied a ribbon with pink ribbon and added some small pink flowers, with some stickers to finish off the piece.

Do pop on over to the blog this week where you will find loads of great pink and threads inspiration for breast cancer awareness month.
