We are sponsored this week by:-

Bugaboo - prize - 4 digital stamps

I have used the Bugaboo digital image "Turtles Birthday".

My image has been watercolored with Bienfang Watercolor Brush Pens, and Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours. I used 4 different patterned papers from my scraps.

I made a birthday card using a digital image from A Day for Daisies called "Butterfly Girl".  It is very apt since this blog has given me wings.  My blog was started in 2012 also after encouragement from Jo so we could share our creations and inspire one another which I am sure it has.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo and your little Scrap Shack!!!!

My background is watercolored using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours.  My image was coloured using Copic Markers. This was then cut out and pasted onto a yellow mat and then onto a teal mat cut out using my Scan N Cut.  My sentiment was from my stash. I coloured it in sections to echo the watercoloring.

My nieces also got into the joy of creating with a little bit of help from Aunty Kellie and Nan.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #184 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme is " Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps   4 digis to a single winner

I have used their fabulous digital image "Flower Lips".

Once I got started with this great image I couldn't stop.  I found some great quotes in my stash from years ago - Colorbok Vellum Quotes - Nature.

I watercolored my first two images using Gelatos.  I rubbed them onto my non stick craft sheet and added water.  For the pattern on the clothing I sprinkled on some Brushos onto the wet image.

The back of the vellum quotes were laid over the left over wet Gelatos then lifted to allow drips etc

The last image was watercolored using Brushos

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #159 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes " 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

Sherri Baldy Designs 3 images  

I have used the SB fabulous digital image "Scann 0003".

I decided to try out my 2 new types of watercolours today on an Art Journal page.  I used both Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours and Bienfang Watercolor Brush Pens where the watercolour is already in a brush pen.  Both offered beautiful vivid colours.  I am still at the beginning stages of watercoloring so I have a lot to learn.  That being said I am happy with the end result which of course looks better in person :D  I have also used Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pens on various areas in red, green, black and clear.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #143  over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week -  "Its Sketch Time"

Our Sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish who give one winner 3 digital stamps 

- I have used their fabulous digital image "Friends Forever"

I watercolored the background of my image with Brushos and created some extra grass using my fineliner pen.  I then cut it and the mat using my Scan N Cut. I doodled on the mat give it some interest.  I separately coloured another image using Copic Markers and fussy cut it adding it over the original image giving it some dimension.  The PP is from my stash.  The little bow was originally a pale pink plastic that I coloured with a Finecolour Marker I then added the little plastic flower.

Here is the sketch I used

I am so very sorry - for some reason my pre schedulling of the post didn't work so this is VERY LATE.  Thanks Jo for letting me know.  So here we go ......

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #114 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is ADFD ( A Day for Daisies) You could win a $12 gift card.  I have used their fabulous digital image "Gentle Baby".

Isn't this the most darling image?  I think this will be the basis of my Christmas cards this year. Onto watercolour paper I used Brusso water colours adding a little of the powder to water on my painting pallet.  Instead of using a regular paintbrush I use a water brush which will allow me to put more water into the mix.  With a little more practice I think my watercoloring will improve   :D

I then tore around the image border curling the edges in places.  This was then attached to  a dark blue cardstock scrap and mounted on a square card base. The image is just beautiful on its own so I didn't add any additional embellishments

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #98 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Sketch" 

 This is the sketch for the week

I started out creating a background on watercolour paper. To allow my sentiment to fit I made my card landscape.  Then following the diagonal stripe of the sketch I placed 3 different washi tapes down from my stash.  My flowers are from Close to My Heart.  The smaller of which I coloured with a Finecolour Marker.  In the end I didnt like the colour so I covered it with white ink and topped it with a pink sequin.

My sentiment comes from the Unity Stamp Company's set "Your Heart and My Heart"  To finish off my card I sprinkled Shabby Pink Fran-tage embossing powder from Stampendous.  This embossing powder you heat from below to make it melt.  It was the first time I have used it and was pretty happy with the result.

Our Sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn  who will give our winner 1 stamp set & 1 6x6 paper pad.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

My image has been coloured with copic markers . The base of my background is PP from my scraps.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #82 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack.

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps - I have used their fabulous digital image "Mix Media Dream".

This week I decided to start on my art/creative journal.  Not putting a lot of pre-thought into it I really had no ideas of where to start or how it would all interact with each other.

I started with gelatos and my watercolours (just some dollar store ones).  I sprayed some stencils with Dylusions and also used white gesso.  You can see how some of the colour has bled through onto the gesso.

I then printed out the beautiful digi 3 times on different patterned papers and paper pieced then together. 

I then chose  chipboard in different fonts that I painted or altered.

I was very happy with the end result.  Looking forward to more journal pages in the future. 

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.
