Vintage Grunge

Rogue Redhead Designs

For my card today I've combined a vintage look with a bit of grunge too, don't know about you but I love how Midge from the Rogue Redhead Designs Bits and Pieces stamp set has turned out.
I've used chalk pastels to just add a little colour and highlights to Midge, I sponged the background papers, and using a honeycomb stencil I've added some texture with gold acrylic paint.

I hope you're all having a great week.

Stencil Arty Magic

Here we go with a new theme at Craft Room Challenge, and it's the first with our two new Teamies Amber and Annie :-)

We have a great theme this fortnight, that Esther has chosen " Stencils and Masks", there's so much scope with this, and I can't wait to see all your creations.

These two pages are forming part of a special project I'm working on at the moment they will have photos added at some point ;-)

I've used two of the new stencils from Tim Holtz and sponged with Dried Marigold,  Squeezed Lemonade and Fired Brick. I've also used Picket Fence Distress Ink, added some tissue tape and stamped a couple of stamps. Keeping it simple.

Day Dream Canvas

I've used the cool Rogue Redhead Designs  Relish Reading and the Getting Grizzley set, to create this funky bright canvas. I was inspired by a feature in the Craft Stamper magazine.

Altered Canvas

I used acrylic paints, with masks and random painting and then added some background stamps, I once again had heaps of fun creating this.

Fearless Sisters Oracle Deck Art

Over the last month I've been working on a project with some amazing ladies all over the world. We are creating an Oracle Deck. We have chosen words and then guided by our connections to our intution or spirit we have painted our hearts out. Here are my 2 paintings.

Angel Gratitude

My amazing daughter (age 13) saw my first painting and wanted to create one too- I'm so proud of her, and her painting knocks socks off mine.
