Conjurer of Dreams Seasonal Challenge

              

This is my make for the

SEASONAL CHALLENGE - details are HERE
This is to make a Seaside Shadow Box and this is my creation.
My Shadow box is a wooden hexagonal shelf...


The frame is quite large so I used a 12 by 12 seascape from BeeArty on the back. 
The sentiment is also from BeeArty.

I then added the lighthouse from Gothic lighthouses


I then added the cat merpeople fussy cut from Mermaid Cats


Finally I added some pieces picked up on the shore.


Happy Crafting!

Day 11 - quiet


Day 12 - burden


Day 13 - left


Day 14 - chance


Day 15 - edge


Day 16 - common

This month it is a Sketch where your make should be inspired by this idea, chosen by Margaret:



This is my second make:


I used a silver card base followed by mats of black and patterned paper. I then added the image and sentiment - the latter is Art By Marlene also on black and patterned paper - and finally some gems.

Color Dare Challenge #716


      This picture shows my make for the



Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge -


I used both colours - in the card blank plus one set of circles. I then added blue for the other set of circles. This technique was shared by Jan in a recent Zoom craft and chat.
I then added the sentiment - a word cut from a floral paper which is in the same colours - although the neutral looks a bit more orange.



Happy Crafting!
