Color Dare #728

This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

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

This picture shows the challenge -

Today's card uses a variety of techniques.

I used a white card base matted with yellow. The next layer was formed first with brushos. I then added stencilled images using a Tracy Evans stencil and some handmade ones.

I then added the die cut trees  and the sentiment (again die and stamp  from Tracy Evans).

I made a set of these cards after doing a workshop with Amanda Branston.

Happy Crafting!

 This is my post for WOYWW#909

Here is my desk today:

To be honest my whole craft room looks as though a bomb has hit it...

This weekend was a virtual retreat and although I didn't get a lot finished my room still gets very untidy!! I still feel that my 'get up and go' has 'got up and gone'...

It was also a long holiday weekend - so we ended up doing things with our daughter.

On my table - you can see a charity shop box in the process of being painted. I regularly upcycle op shop finds!

On the right hand easel you can see the start of Trovember - a collage made by adding one item all the way through November. There is also a set of altered playing cards - these are today's:

I finished two workshops at the weekend - one by Amanda Branston

and one by Niamh Baly. This is on the middle easel. 

Also on the middle easel is the result of a throw the dice game where in one minute a suggested item is added to a page.  This was online with some of the people who organised the virtual retreat. Fun!!

I have managed to keep up with my 'tiny pieces of art' - this is my result so far:

October was a Halloween-y theme - I rather liked this index card where the ghost image was a Conjurer of Dreams image. I saw the opening coffin idea somewhere on insta - of course it disappeared so I can't tell you where.

Sending hugs to all connected to WOYWW. Hopefully I will get around you all this week!

Tiny Pieces of Art October

    At the beginning of the year I started a year long challenge courtesy of Linda Pearson on Facebook

I decided to use index cards as I had a little booklet of these in my stash. 

I like this format as I have been doing the Index Card a Day Challenge during June and July for some years now.

This is how far I had got at the beginning of the month:

This month's prompts are as follows:

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

12 Months of Christmas Link Up November 2026

    

This is my DT make for the October Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Go with the Flow"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple easel card using the paper from this: 

I started with a white card blank and a white card easel, matted with the papers.

 I added 49&Market ephemera. 

I added a ribbon to the tag shape.
