I used a white card blank with leaves inked on it with distress and a Kate Crane stencil.

   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 -

Conjurer of Dreams May Challenges

           

I am sharing more of my make for the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

The optional month's challenge is Pool Party:




I made some journal pages:


I recently took part in a Niamh Baly workshop where she used waterfall pages in a journal:


I thought this idea would be perfect for my pool party pages!

I started by preparing my backgrounds:





I used an image from Water ripples as collage paper on top of Dylusions Calipso Teal paint.
I then added Matisse fluid Titanium White paint through an Art by Marlene stencil - ATC-tinies. Finally I added edges and emphasis with white Poscas and shadow with a soft pencil.

I then started adding images and sentiments (These were random finds on my desk or drawn by me)
The first page uses the image from the challenge logo.



The next image is from Retro Swamp Monster




I couldn't not have the Super Heroes as these are my 4 year old grandson's favourite characters at the moment.


Finally I have the Seniors Pool Party. This reminds me of my friends and I at Aqua Aerobics...


I had great fun making these pages!!

What's on your Work Desk Wednesday #886

              

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 #886

Here is my workdesk:


Not a lot to share today - and then I forgot it was Wednesday so I am sharing very late - this comes with being distracted looking after Ollie. He was pickled up and then I have no idea what I did!!


I am sharing my next few Tiny pieces of Art - the theme for May is Autumn. Of course we in Australia are heading in to winter!




Of course my next long challenge will be ICAD so these will be a similar format...
Not sure what I will be doing craftwise in the next couple of weeks as we are away both weekends.


Lovely to see all your blogs on WOYWW... I did manage to get round to everyone last week !



Addicted to Stamps and more # 518 Birthday

 

  

Here's my Birthday project...for the Challenge #518 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I started with a white card blank matted with dark blue.
To this I added layers of yellow papers, the final piece die cut.
I then added the greeting die cut and some faux stitching with a fineliner.


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