Spend energy on what matters

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

Our second Challenge is an Altered Canvas and ends 29th of May, so plenty of time to get yours in.  

Here is my entry using one of the Zen Goddess girls from the freebie during our October 2022 Blog Hop.

I repurposed a 8x10 canvas that I had used for a leaf bouquet that was starting to look a bit worse for wear.

I used one of the resin frames I created the other month and some shimmer mica powder by Colour Blast on it - how good did it come up!

I then have a bit of stamping, some texture paste through a new stencil from Bee Arty, a die cut, some plastic leaf stem and a finnabair metal flower with a mini gold bauble from Christmas time.

My rice paper saying is from Dina Wakley.

I really love how it turned out and have it on my wall by my printer.

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!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 17

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of  Expand and Rainbow Lyrical Wallpapers, No1 Pattern Pack and Paper Dolls Starter #1 pack.

 

I started with some stenciling using black acrylic paint on the left page. On the right page I wiped off the stencil to give the faded look.

I then adhered some patterns printed on tissue paper and a bit a white gesso in places to fade out spots and blend a bit. I adhered my girl from Michelle Grants Expand pack.

On the right side, I added my tissue paper print from Rainbow Lyrical by Karen Yates and then used Distress Crayons to add some additional colour and blend. I added some black acrylic paint to my page edges and blended that out too.

While I had the crayons out, I added a touch of yellow to my left page as a focal point.

I then added black acrylic paint and crayons to colour my paper doll and adhered her to my page.

I then added my "It will work out" saying on tissue paper.

Many many layers of tissue paper on this one.

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!

Ode to Spring

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

The theme is Ode to Spring.

I made 2 Birthday Cards this month.

I have used the Spring Blush ATC pdf for my backgrounds on both cards.

The first card I have added my lady from then Sex Kittens pdf which is from last years October Blog Hop 2022.

The second card, my girl is from Life Altering pdf from the October Blog Hop 2014.

 

I hope I have inspired you, and now it's your turn to show me what you can do this month - 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 # 16

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using this month's Challenge Image pack Courage  by Michelle. 

 

I have had a lot of indecision in my life this last 6 months and still it goes on......it can't go on forever.

When I saw this month's images, I thought the girl looked lost and sad. I also was undecided on how to approach using her. So, this lead me to thinking that things are not always black and right, sometimes you make the right decision and sometime you don't. 

Anyway, I settled on a black and white theme, then did my Indecision words in colours to add a pop of colour to my page. 

I hope you all have fun with this month's challenge and I look forward to seeing what you do later in the month as I am off on my well earned holiday cruising around New Zealand!

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!

Gecko Galz Monthly Project

This month I created a card and some ATC size Index cards for my project to inspire you using the Zen Goddess and Retro Hottie pdf's from October's Blog Hop 2022.

The backgrounds on both projects are using some old leftover ATC backings I had using the Bubble technique. They are quite fun to do.

My sayings are stickers from Art by Marlene.

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!
