Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 2 Post #16

    This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 2022 - Term 2! 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

Today's inspiration started with a 'use up' page in my journal - the colours of lime green, pink and gold made me think of Karma by Karen Yates.

I added one of the images printed on tissue and then painted in gold and used Inktense crayons to add more colour.

Next I added butterflies - printed on book paper that I had brayered with a few colours on acrylic. These images are from Flutterflies by Annette Gearside.

 I also added Posca white penwork.

I am adding a few more photos so you can see the shine of the gold...

Happy Crafting!

How can it be Wednesday again? Thank you to all of you who commented on my blog last week - hope I get round to all of you this week!

SO here's my desk!

I had a new set of Art by Marlene Bright watercolours to try out (my old box of shimmery ones are getting pretty empty!)

You can also see a handful of cut out flowers and butterflies - these have been going on journal pages - brayered bookpaper then stamped or printed on.

In the lefthand corner you can just see a pair of ATC collections send by a friend - and a new stamp.

Maybe this is a better picture of my watercolour blobbing:

Last week I showed you that start of a Wanderlust page, this is how it ended up - this was definitely not in my comfort zone. The process involved sketching people with charcoal!

The left hand image is a freebie from the Gecko Galz Steampunk Challenge

The following journal page made use of the flowers - it was based on a Tracy Weinzapfel canvas.

Finally - at last my landscapers have started on the retaining wall at the back of the house, and the front is looking better...

Wishing you a happy week...

Happy  WOYWW!

How can it be Wednesday again? Thank you to all of you who commented on my blog last week - hope I get round to all of you this week! I didn't get much chance last week as I had Ollie here all weekend and the Monday public holiday - he is quite a handful! Here he is with a 'bandicoot' in the park...

Here we are in the Australian Garden next door where we saw a real bandicoot! Can you see it?

 Anyway I am linking to the Stamping Ground!

I am just going to Aquarobics class so I will have to comment later, all being well.

SO here's my desk!

You can see two journals - the green one is the start of the current Wanderlust page, the other is a use up page...

I shared my calendar using Gelli pulls with pastels  last week.

This is what I did with the other pulls:

Wishing you a happy week...
