Orange Love

This was a very pretty and enjoyable layout to do, I very much enjoy doing orange layouts for some reason, but even when I had my graphic design business I used a deep yellow alot as it works with so much.  Funny.

Don't Wake Up to be Ordinary

Image
I have a few statements that I like to use and live by and "Don't Wake Up to be Ordinary" is my new favourite.  Another favourite is "a year from now you will wish you started a year ago", that one had a great impact on my recent life change.  The one that I live by everyday is "do unto others as you would have done unto you", sooo important. Anyway, creative time for Altair Art - this time I wanted to do something off the page and this new favourite statement seemed like a good match with a garlic cutting board thing I had found and put in the "future off the page" cupboard.  I started by covering it with white gesso and then got out some Ranger Perfect Pearls and painted it blue and then I had a little play with my new Distress Oxides and got some groovy effects going on, but nothing that you will be able to see.  I then smeared some texture paste over the top and using Altair Art papers I laid a yellow and white check to the inner backgr...

Catch up time on Altair Art

Image
I have done so many different projects for Altair Art lately and so I thought that it was high time that I shared them, so here they are.  To see more of the awesome papers released by AltairArt, please go to their blog at h ttp://www.altairart.pl This first piece was inspired by all the circles and the space background of the Altair Art papers, I followed that circle theme right through.  With room for three images, it will look beautiful with the final images added. Below is my very first attempt at a canvas, again using elements of the various Altair Art papers, plus a few bits and pieces from Kaisercraft and Dusty Attic and other sources.  The dreamcatcher is gorgeous and I love the final finish which has been achieved by colouring with wax pastes and then covering most with crackle paint.  The theme is "Dream" and whatever that may be for you. Polka dot creation below for Altair Art June Challenge.  I just wanted this la...

Fabscraps Fabscrappin'

I have been so busy off in creative world, oh and baby chickens!  8 of them almost all at the same time and to top it off, it is raining and cold and windy and so they want outside and that just cannot happen for long periods, so I am up and down and in and out.  In between that, I have been cooking alot, as clearly my 17yo is going through a growth spurt - she is perpetually hungry! Anyway, I got to do some work for Fabscraps as part of the guest design team competing against the main design team.  The paper range is C100 which has lots of 1800s images and cogs and alot would think steampunk, but that is not what I saw, I was inspired by the various images and they made me think of the Era of Invention of the 1800s and so I designed an 8 panelled hot air balloon, complete with basket.   Think Discovery, Invention, Engineering, Industry, Mechanical, Fashion, Theatre and Music, Magic and Illusion.  This is what I saw in this collection and that is how the 8 ...
