WOYWW 728

   

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #738

As usual I am just about to set out for aquarobics so this will be quick - and hopefully I will comment later...

SO here's my desk!


Happy Mail today is that kit from Bee Arty - I have yet to have a look inside to see what it contains!
And more happy mail this week - I received this super card and ATC from Kelly - Happy Anniversary WOYWW!


Those bright paints in the background were to do some 'squeegie' painting.
I made these letters which are for a project I am about to start...


I have done some more of the ICAD Challenge - but am still behind!!



And I have done a couple of journal pages:



Both had collage backgrounds of serviette, book paper and tissue with acrylic paint and then black and white images - stamps in the first case and from Michelle Grant Designs in the second.



Wishing you a happy week...and hope to get around to you all this week...

Happy  WOYWW!

Addicted to Stamps and More #451 - Make Your Mark

 


 
Here's my Make Your Mark project...for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More

Today's make is a simple card.
I printed the freebie image from Gecko Galz Stamp Challenge onto the right hand side of a piece of white A4 card, folded it along the middle and cut the card to shape.



I then painted it with shimmery watercolours. I added black soot Distress ink round the edges and white Posca on the bubbles.


 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!



Happy Crafting!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 2 Post #24


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

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group



I started by collaging a double page in a large journal, around the edges with serviette, book paper and tissue.
I painted the spaces with art by marlene Tuscan acrylic paint.
I added vintage photo Distress ink around the edges.


I then added the images from the pack - deciding on using the black and white ones as a contrast to the background.


I added shadow around the images using a black Stabilo All. 
I added the quote from Karen Yates Fleur.
I then added some penwork in black and white Posca Pens.



Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #737

   

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

 - and it is Week 737 - Julia has already mentioned the Boeing connection - but my mathematical background always makes me ask if the number is prime. No it isn't - as it has four factors - 1, 11, 67, 737.

If you google  737 you will find it is an Angel number.

SO here's my desk!




Slightly less messy than last week. The papers are drying after adding Lindy's Magicals. My plan is to die cut these to add to a card.

Again not a lot to share - but I have been making some positive potatoes:





I still need to catch up on the ICAD Challenge and all my other crafty projects!
Wishing you a happy week...and hope to get around to you all this week...

The Library Craft Challenge

I came across this challenge while commenting for the Happy Little Stampers Challenges.

The current challenge is to be inspired by

The Girl in the Polka Dot Dress by Beryl Bainbridge


I have made a simple card using an image from Gecko Galz with layers of beige card and dotty paper.


I gave the girl a polka dot dress using a Posca Pen.


I will link this card to The Library Challenge #82

Happy Crafting!
