Birds of a Feather Swap

I have been very remiss in my updating of my blog lately, but this is just something that I finished recently for Arty International Swap.

Greta's Birthday Card

This is a card I created for Greta, I was really happy with the way it came together, as usual my favorite colours green and brown. I gave it to her today, I think she liked it.

52 Dress Up Challenge

A new challenge on Paper Traders Group, each month we will be altering 4 Cards from all the suits with a particular theme eg this month was Aces and Wings. Thanks to Hemines blog http://herminesplace.wordpress.com/page/2/ I was able to use this beautiful background, which made this challenge very easy and fun to do.

The Last Skinny Page

I have finally finished this challenge, the page is of course U for Umbrella, we had to do a transfer of some kind, which for some reason I had a great deal of trouble with, it just didn't want to work out, I think I did this page about 5 times and this was the best transfer even though the umbrella is all raggy. The background is old music paper which I then gesso'd slightly and then modge podged.

Arty Oz Collections Swap

I have just completed this swap using all of Collection Products, the only outsiders used is cuttlebug embossed silver foil and the cuttlebug swirl, but everything else is a Collection product.

Two More Skinny Book Challenges

Nearly there, I have been a bit slack with these ones but never late than never, N for Nearly
Naked, we had to use flourishes and I for Infants we had to use a frame and fill with dimensional magic and of course here are the results.

M for Mailman and Mailbox

This week's challenge was to use a textured background, I choose to use the Ranger crackle paint, with a little bit of dye ink over the top, not that you can see it very well.

Arty Oz Gothic Swap

My first attempt at the Gothic Look, I'm quite happy the way it turned out, I hope the others in the swap will think so as well.

Y for Youthful Yarns

This weeks challenge the letter L using a mask, which I did in the background, and then again with sequent waste over the two colours to tie them together. I just love the image of the little boy looking up at his big brother laughing at his tales.

My Junk Returns

This is the beautiful creation of Ness's, thanks Ness its wonderful, this was a swap in Arty-Oz run by Liz where we had to send our junk off to someone, for them to play around with it and then return it to their owners. Well I think I lucked out with this beautiful piece of Art.

RR Tag Book

I recently received these books to work on Nikki's theme is Bright, Diannes is Wings and Kylies" is Woman, I hope they all like their books when they finally get home to them.
