Creative Warriors Inspiration # 19

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New Release Pack for this month's Challenge Charmed by Michelle Grant.
 

I created this background during the Easter Challenges that were happening on Facebook so thought I would use it.

So I adhered it to my journal page and then set about colouring in my girl and some of the flowers. I grabbed my Inktense Pencils and had a play around. I must say that I coloured my flowers 3 times and love how the colour was more vibrant each time.

I then decided where to put her and the flowers and adhered.
I used a saying from Karen Yates Little Word Bits #3. These Little Word Bit files are a must have and so many different sayings to use with different fonts.

Lastly, I doodled a frame around the outside to make it less plain and I called it done.

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 Customer Challenge Feather Friend

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?
The theme is Feathered Friend.
I used a Birds & Bees freebie from March 2022 on the blog.
 

I have another Altered Playing Card - this one is another Jumbo playing card.
I added a rub-on onto some material and adhered this on to add some interest with the distress paint.
My saying is an Art by Marleen sticker.
Doodled around some edges with black paint pen and I adore how it turned out.

I also created a quick bookmark.


I used a page from an Alice in Wonderland Novel and the Flamingoes from Flamingo Fun.
I also stitched around the edges and added a tassel.

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 # 18

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of Secret Garden Wallpaper by Elisa Ablett for my cover, with one of the Girls from Michelle's Expand Wallpaper pack. Words from Karen Yates' Little Word Bits #2 Pack.


I grabbed my Art By Marlene Journal Book die and used the Secret Garden paper for my cover as well as my tag - Jaded Blossom die.
The small tag I die cut one of the girls from the Expand pack.
Added a piece of ripped paper from Secret Garden and then my saying from Little Word Bits #2.
Before sticking my tag down, I wrapped a piece of lace from my stash and then added a resin feather which I used Finnabair waxes on. Lastly was a piece of ribbon from my stash and a brad to use to hold my signature in and as a closure.

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!

Butterfly Altered Playing Cards

This month I altered 2 playing cards - one Medium size and one Jumbo size for my project to inspire you using the new Butterfly Card Topper Set by Gecko Galz.



Just because they are card toppers, doesn't mean you can use for other projects. I even got the sewing machine out and added some stitching!
I have used glitter washi tape and distress paints with a backing of tissue paper and coffee staining.
I really love these and am going to pop them in my junk journal.

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!
