Creative Warriors Inspiration # 30

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New October Challenge Pack Shadows & Shimmers by Michelle Grant. Remember you can buy it for only$1.50 this month - super value!


I decided to use my Steampunk Soiree Lindy's Magicals - first time using these mica powders - yes, my fingers are now a lovely "bruised" look. LOL, will be interesting at work tomorrow in my Nursing Home. 
Anyways, I had a play with the magicals and then using my Steampunk stencil by Antonis Tzanidakis for Stamperia with some black acrylic paint to create an interesting border. I dabbed black acrylic paint around the edge of my page to give a darker frame around my focal image.
I printed and fussy cut the coloured steampunk girl from the pack and adhered to my page.
I then added a frame and my sentiment. I used my black pen and loosely went around the words for some more interest.
I then coloured up one of the black and white pumpkins from the pack and added it for that Halloween feel.

Well, I hope I have inspired you to create with this month's Challenge pack and enter into our challenge for a chance of a prize.

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!

Creepy Circus

This month I have made some fun tags and another page in my Altered Book using December Dreams, Jeepers Creepers, Vintage Vamps, Into the Woods and Lifes a Circus Collage sheet by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!




I have been enjoying using stencils in my journals of late so this time used a scribble one by Natalie May here in Australia with gold paint. Hard to see but that journal page is quite shiny in real life.

I added one of my cast off resin pieces on my tag too as well. I love the grungy beaten look that using up that last bit of resin gives.

I had a bit of fun with the theme this month. Can't wait to see how you all interpret it yourselves.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
