Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #170 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

I'm excited to welcome you to a new year of challenges.
Our theme this year is "Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsors this week are

Bugaboo - 4 digital stamps to a single winner
Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

- I have used the fabulous digital image "Nurse Margaret- Hurt A Little" from Bugaboo.

I decided my art journal was feeling a little unloved. So I used a number of acrylic paints applying them with my fingers.  I then went back with my stencils.

I started out colouring the image with acrylics but it wasn't behaving how I wanted so I converted to some simple kids crayons. The sentiment comes with the digi image.

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 # over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is 

Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

Sami's Stamps- $12 gift voucher to store

I have used the LBBS fabulous design "Halloween" – printable art tiles and bottle caps designs.

I have used a number on a scrapbook layout.

I worked with a base of black cardstock to which I stamped and embossed a crackled background.  I chose a piece of patterned paper that I ripped diagonally down the page and placed half on each side.  The photos were taken with a special roll of film that printed all the titles on top.  Some I cut off but used these in other areas.  I had the witch, moon and spider web die cuts from years ago so along with the LBBS printable the whole layout came together .  I journaled some thoughts and used a stencil for my title and stickers for the date.

My layout is of my baby Electra who was given to me in May for my 50th. Look forward to a few more layouts as I have some cute photos of her and her sister Khaleesi who my sister owns.  

The whole papers etc came in a kit from a friend Carol who used to run classes and the such when I lived in the USA.  I am sure she will laugh that I have finished this layout some 10 years later LOL

So the challenge was for 321 - 

3 Colors - Brown Blue and Green

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #149 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes " 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Di's Digi Stamps  who give $12 voucher to shop 

Little Blue Button Stamps who give 4 digis to a single winner

I have used the LBBS fabulous digital image "You Got a Present".  

I have created my card so it can be used as either a birthday or Christmas card.  My image has been coloured with Copic and Finecolour markers and cut out using my Scan N Cut machine.

Green card was then cut to cover my card base and for my image to mount onto.  The pink/silver layer was a new experiment for me.  

I had been shown a foiling technique using Jac paper- a double sided adhesive sheet.  Having no Jac paper on hand I decided to experiment putting a piece of cardstock through my xyron machine.  Once the adhesive was applied and before removing the backing sheets I embossed the cardstock using my cuttlebug and an embossing folder.  Then removing the backing sheet to expose the adhesive I lay across a sheet of silver craft foil and rubbed with my hands.  The foil adhered to the embossed areas.  I then sprinkled pink glitter onto the areas that were not embossed to cover over the remaining adhesive.  

The photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it looks.  There are a few little spots where the adhesive has lifted.  I'm not sure if this is because the xyron hasn't been used in a while or that the adhesive is not suited to this technique.  I will be trying the foiling again for another project in the future.

Once all the layers were combined I finished my project off with liquid pearls.
