Women canvas

women 12 x 12 canvas

Here's the first canvas I did during my recent online painting month, it's just small  a 12 x 12. I love the colour that I've managed to squeeze on here :-)

This painting is the first of mine to actually leave my studio and find it's way onto a wall- it's hanging on in my best friends house, which makes me real happy :-)

Ribbons and Lace

It's Annie's first time hosting our challenge over at Craft room challenge, and she's chosen Ribbons and Lace as her theme. Lots of scope here for some pretty fun. The Dt have always done a great job, so make sure you check out all the loveliness.

London Tag

For my creation I've created this British inspired tag, the background is sponged and spritzed and then over stamped, to create some layering.

I've dyed the seam binding again with distress inks, and spritzed and heat dried to soften it all up.

The main stamp is from Crafty Individuals, who are also our generous sponsors this challenge.

Have a great week .

Scrapbook Cover No 2

You might remember me sharing with you the scrapbook cover I made for my daughters teacher? You can see that Here. Well as promised this is the cover of the scrapbook I made for my son's teacher.

Missing in Action?- what's Deb been doing?

So I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front haven't I?
It was so busy at the end of last year and this year so far I've been concentrating on my art rather than my crafting.

I've been doing an online course painting the Feminine with Connie at Dirty Footprints Studio, it's been great, a little intense in places, but it's been amazing to create with an amazing group of women.

I've done a lot of painting and journalling over january, I'll be sharing with you some of the images over the next few weeks.
I'm not going to share my titles or thought processes.... just enjoy the images :-)

Simple Snow Hugs

Over at Rogue Redhead Designs blog we are sharing with you Holiday ideas, so that you can get ahead ;-)

This month we're creating one layer Christmas cards, I've made 2 cards using the set Snow Hugs.

I've stamped the main image, and then using the small background stamp, created the background. If you want to join us - check all the details at Holiday Inspiration Club.

It's a bit strange for me creating snow cards, when we finally have some hot summer weather here in Wellington, New Zealand :-)
Where ever you ar win the world, have a great week.
