Creative Warriors Inspiration # 15

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of Michelle Grant's Crowned pack and Gracie Grant's Accept pack. 

Wouldn't you know it, a spelling mistake...nevermind, I can live with it, as no-one is perfect, right!

I started with the right page having some leftover paint brayered on it with that pink, so thought that would be a nice frame to start off with.

I grabbed on my new Bee Arty stencils and used my teal acrylic paint and popped it on both sides of both pages to give it a bit of grounding and connection.

I then used a few rolls of washi tape and put some of that around my pages too.

I then cut a couple of circles in half that I had left over and placed them around my page until I found a good balance for them.

I adhered both my girls and after applying a clear gesso on them, I used my Neo II crayons with a aqua brush and popped some colour on them.

After then putting my saying down, I used a normal black pen and doodled a border.

 

Pretty happy with, mistakes and all.

Well, I hope I have inspired you to look at your packs a little but differently.

Don't forget to share with us any of your projects over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see them.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors 2022 Calendar - April

If you have Michelle's Creative Warriors 2022 Calendar, you can repurpose the months and enter the Challenge over on the Facebook page.

I adore this image from Michelle Grant, which is the April spread.

I used a few of my washi tapes from Your Creative Studio, along with some book pages to create my background.

To fill in the gaps, I used my distress paints in coordinating colour that Michelle used.

Added some stamping and splots.

Lastly I used a saying from Michelle Grant Design by Karen Yates - Little Word Bits #2.

I hope you like it, although I don't blog too much these days, I still create, and admit I am more likely to pop it on my Instagram account as it is much quicker.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Gecko Galz Customer Challenge

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

The theme is Steampunk Love.

I have again used my Altered Diary and created a double layout which could also be stand alone pages.

I used 2 of the Steampunk ATC Collection images for my backgrounds and then 2 of the images from Steampunk Jewel It for my Cat and Ape. 

I added some die cuts and inked around the edges.

My background on my pages are using texture paste and distress oxide inks over texture die cuts I cut out. I have then used these same die cuts on my page as well.

I can't recall who my words are from but they were sitting in my stash and fit the theme prefectly.

Did I inspire you?  Don't forget you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page. Why not try an image from the Newsletter freebies as well.

It really is worth the try to have some fun and maybe win $25 to spend in the store along your way!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 14

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New Release Challenge Pack for February called Modern Misses by Annette Gearside. 

 

I used leftover ink and created my rainbow type layout.

I printed my modern miss on copy paper and fussy cut and adhered to my page.

I printed the flowers on rice paper and again fussy cut and adhered to page.

I used my Neo II Crayons and a water brush and coloured my images.

Lastly I added a saying from one of my many Uniquely Creative Cut-a-parts.

So much fun! 

Well, I hope I have inspired you to try this month's Challenge and join us over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see your projects.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Victorian Elegance Junk Journal Kit

Have seen the Quarterly Challenges over on the Gecko Galz Challenge Blog?

The first one that ends this month is a Junk Journal Challenge - right up my alley.

So I gave doing a video run flip through a go .... and now uploading here.....it's all something new and different!

I hope you like it and I can't wait to see what the next Challenge will be.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Steampunk Love Altered Paint Brush

This month I did my first ever Altered Paint Brush for my project to inspire you using the greyhound from the Steampunk Jewel It file by Gecko Galz.

I stayed on this month's Customer Challenge Theme of Steampunk Love.

I created this piece of art in Loving Memory our beloved Bee Jay. Hard to believe it's been over 3 years now since our boy went over the rainbow bridge.

I have used a few different Finnabair moulds with resin and then after painting with gesso, I used their waxes on them as well. 

I hope you like them and are inspired to join in on one of our many challenges this month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
