Like a Moth to the Flame

Like A Moth to the Flame

Great to be just really getting into all things creative again- feels great.
Great theme over at Sunday Postcard Art their new Theme-this week is  Fire/Flames

Just had to play along, just like all my new rubber stamps that haven't seen much or any ink, I have a whole stash of digital goodies form Mischief Circus also needing some airing!

I've gone with a bit of a Femme Fatale valentine feel ;-)

All digital elements from Mischief Circus.

Wish you were Here

I say it every fortnight but gosh doesn't it come round quick? You wowed us once again with your sentimental creations, making Mervi's job as tricky as ever :-)

For our next challenge at Craft Room Challenge, Hazel wants to see postcards inspired by summer holidays and travel. The postcards need to be 6 x 4 inches, and must be stand alone, ie not attached to another project like a card, or scrapbook LO.

I went all Parisian ;) for my creation.

Paris Postcard

This is a combination of techniques and combos of images and stash finds. I started with a 6 x 4 chipboard base, I then added Tim Holtz tissue paper and painted with acrylic paint . I then stamped some Parisian Franking marks ( you can't see them - they kinda got lost in the next processes ;) ).

I then embossed using one of the new embossing folders again from Tim Holtz.

I then added the collage elements, using some of the Crafty Individual images (our sponsor for this challenge) and a Marie image from my stash.

I then added the flowers and bits and bobs, and blended them all together with more paint.

Finally I added beeswax.

As I mentioned our sponsor for this challenge is Crafty Individuals.

Winter Elegance

So pleased to be managing to enter the challenge at Sunday postcard art again this week. The theme this week is Winter Elegance.

I've created this 6 x 4 postcard using various digital kits using My memories 4 program- which is a simple program to use :-)
