Snarcasm

Here's a great art pack that's not for the feint hearted.

It's a new release from Michelle Grant Design called Snarcasm and is by Elisa Ablett and Tanya Froud.

I had another play with my Inktense pencils as well. Getting the hang of them now I think.

I used a coupe of stencils on top of the backgrounds in the pack. 

I need a lot more work on my backgrounds, but I won't improve if I don't continue!

This reminded me of a work Zoom meeting a few weeks back......lucky I had my mask on cause I used a few of those words.

Anyway, I would love to see what you do with the pack.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

RIP Ma'am

History making with the loss of our Queen this week.

Such sad sad news to wake up and learn our Queen, Head of State, had passed.

My Porch Prints gave us a beautiful file in memory of the Queen, and I felt with Michelle Grant's Affinity Image for this months challenge, was a perfect match.

For the opposite page, I used one of Karen Yates Rainbow Lyrical Wallpapers.

After tearing the edges and adhering down, I just had to add an appropriate stamp saying.

Love this saying that is in one of my Jaded Blossom sets.

It will be very interesting to see how the future pans out, not just for the Royal family, but for us in the Commonwealth too. 

RIP Ma'am, thank you for your dedicated Service. 

You will be sorely missed. xoxo

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

A Stitch in Time

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

The theme is A Stitch in Time.

This month I made a Memory Dex card.

Firstly I die cut my Dex card with my Heidi Swapp die.

I then adhered a piece of Dress Pattern paper on top of my Dex Card.

I used a collage image and three mannequins from Gecko Galz Crazy Manniquins file.

I distressed the edges of my collage image and sponged with Black Soot distress ink.

I then adhered this along with the three mannequins onto my Dex Card.

Lastly, I adhered a metal sewing machine hanging embellishment to finish it off.

 

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 #3

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of  Michelle Grant's Art Image Breathe and Mystic packs.

 

I have used the man and saying "It's ok if the only thing you did today was Breathe." from Michelle's Breathe pack, along with one of the girls from her Mystic pack.

I decided to use the opposite journal page to my last mash up posting which again is a mop up page. 

I felt that the page left as is really resonated with the saying - It's ok if nothing got done/finished, as long as I am still breathing. 

I printed off and fussy cut the images and then adhered to my page and put some clear gesso over the top so I could add some colour with my pencils.

The saying I printed on tissue paper and used a white paint pen to go over the back of the words before I adhered so they stood out a bit more.

This page helped my mental health as when I did it, I was feeling very sad over the passing of my favourite NRL Coach taking his own life, as well as the sudden death of one of my favourite residents. Sometimes it is hard to explain, but good to have an outlet to help your mind into the right place. 

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!

With Patience, things get better.

This month I created two cards for my project to inspire you, using the Beautiful Buddas file by Gecko Galz again. I really love these images.

I have used my new Sizzix 3D Hearts embossing folder for my backgrounds. It gives the cards such beautiful texture to them.

I also die cut a heart and sponged the edges of it and my images with Vintage Photo distress ink.

My sentiments are from Art by Marlene's Artsy Arabia Sticky Quotes book.

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!

This is Halloween Challenge

A new month, so a new challenge starting over at This is Halloween.

This is Halloween is a Halloween and/or Gothic themed Monthly Challenge.

So both themes are accepted all year round!

This month I made two cards.

I grabbed a couple of my embossing folders out, these two are by Sizzix.

Cut some card stock slightly smaller than my card front, still in black and put through my Big Shot to get a great card front.

I used some ephemera by Ephemoire and some by Tim Holtz.

I used my Black Soot distress ink and sponged the edges of  images and adhered onto my embossed card with glue and foam dots.

I then adhered this onto my card front.

I love the effect of the embossing for my backgrounds.

I hope you get a chance to play along with us - enter here.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
