Age of Aquarius- Craft Room Challenge

It's Esther's turn to choose our theme at Craft Room Challenge - she's chosen a Water based theme, this is what she has to say:

 I'm asking for all things Water based as we are now in the Sign of Aquarius - The Water Bearer. This means you can either use a water based technique i.e. water colour pencils/paints, or a water themed image.  If it isn't obvious please make it clear what technique you use - this also helps share techniques that may be new to others !



Here's my Water card, I've watercoloured the background, and then over stamped, I also watercoloured the images.

Here's the inside of my card:

I often decorate the inside of the card, but I usually forget to take a photo ;-)

Our sponsor for this fortnights Craft Room Challenge is  Tando Creative.

Have a great week and enjoy playing with all things watery :-)

Lovers Tag

Carnival Lovers tag

Here's my first Rogue Redhead Designs post of 2014, so what better way for me to start a Rogue year, with The Lovers from Carnival Dreams- regulars will know this is a fav of mine.

I already have Valentines Day on my mind :-)

I've gessoed the tag background and then applied a honeycomb template to the tag while the gesso is still wet and rubbed more gesso through- this gives the raised texture. I've then sponged and sprayed for the colour and layered the Lovers.

Have a great rest of the week.

Steampunk cover

Well I'm sorry everyone, I've been pretty blogging absent this last month or so- it's just such a busy time. I've been working on 2 scrapbooks as leaving gifts for 2 of my kids teachers.
So I've been crafting but it's been secret squirrel ;-)
Both books are now happily in the hands of the teachers.

Today I'm sharing the front cover of one of the books.
This is for a guy- so I've gone a little steampunk- love how it turned out <3

Have a great pre Christmas Happy time :-)

Time for Favourites at Craft Room Challenge

It's my time to chose the challenge over at Craft Room Challenge :-) With it being such a busy time of year and yet also a natural point of reflection. I decided that we could do something slightly different..
So I'm asking people to choose one of their favourite creations from 2013, and write a new post featuring and sharing why it's their favourite.
We have once again a great prize form our sponsor - Crafty Individuals.

So make sure you pop over and check out the Dt's favourites and join us :-)

Vintage Christmas at Craft Room

Vintage Christmas using Midge

Time is scary flying by.... I'm not at all ready for Christmas :-( so it was cool to have teamie mervi at Craft Room Challenge choose Vintage Christmas as her theme, cause that meant I actually made a Christmas card.

And also cool is that Rogue Redhead Designs who I am on the Dt for are the sponsors for our challenge.
