MIxed media art

I love the end result of the mixed media inking and spraying.I stamped the brick wall and the flowers . The heart was cut out of an old book and letters cut from the cricut.

 

 

Gelli Butterfly

 You can see I have gone nuts doing geli plate backgrounds. This one I stamped and stencilled more to the background. Cut out a butterfly on the Cricut, stamped and highlighted it to get this result, which I was happy with the colours and end product

Gelli cone flowers

 Another gelli print. Inspired by Pinterest gelli art

Gelli gelli gelli

I am having so much fun with the Gelli plate. Here are a couple more pages.I did not like the original back ground so used a big Dylusions stencil and purple and red paint and covered a lot of the original and ended up with this page which I think turned out great in the end 

I was not particularly fond of the back ground as it was a bit dark, however it is a bit of a reflection of how i am feeling and so I added the big flowers coloured and stamped these to see how they would turn out.I quite like the reflective look of the girls faces on the side. Not the greatest- but it is all a learning curve and I am still trying to work out colours etc.

Gelli pate experiments

I have just started experimenting with the Gelli plate, and here is my first attempt

Graphic 45 Calendar

Graphic 45: Place in Time:

Some time ago I made this Graphic 45 calendar. I really loved this set and had seen other wonderful works of art that it inspired me to put my own together. I had a wee bit of trouble getting the full 12 months as everyone seemed to be sold out, however on a trip to Brisbane I managed to find the missing pages and here is the end result. I had to jiggle around some of the pages to match the season here in the southern hemisphere.

 I am very please with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy looking too.

Happy Mothers'd Day Mum

Happy Mother's Day

 A wee card I put together for my Mum.I used the Tim Hotlz mannequin stamp and then dressed it with some pretty boarder lace with beads. The backGround was coloured with Dylusions sprays and Stamped with TIM HOLTZ STAMPS . Kindy Glitz was applied to areas of the flowers for a bit more sparkle

The grandparents

The grandparents

This is a special page as both my grandparents are not with us now. . A simple page with a few embellishments of flowers and lace added.

Girlfriends

The Girlfirends...The butterflies and lettering were cut using a Cricut cartridge. I stamped a brown paper bag with a Stampin Up roller stamp for the butterflies. The lattice is a Cherry Lynn design template.

Sharing love's dream

This page is slightly different to what I usually do. A little bit of gesso under the photos to tone down the pattern of the page and then lots of flowers and leaves to embellish with. I really liked the end result.

The leaves and scrolls are a die by Spellbinders heartfelt creations. Belle rose. The spikey leaves are from the same die.

Wonderful You

Wonderful you... I am wondering if I over did this page. I am not used to putting together a page with so many layers and compared to some talented scrapbookers this is nothing. The frame was cut from a Cricut cartridge Frames II, the leaves are a  couture creations die.. Lace and flowers were used to finish it off.

Love is..

Well I am slowly getting through the weeding photos. Here is another one which does not use any paint , stencils or medium this time Lots of big flowers and a cut out from my stash.

Best Friends

Brother and sister at our wedding.
I used a stencil and Dylusions spray paint to make the back ground and added wooden, and paper cutouts to finish off the page. A couple of sentiments were added.

Boys go grungy

I bit more of the grunge altered art thing going on here. This time it was with the boys photos,  so I tried to add some more masculine type things.Glimmer Glitz was sprayed on the back ground. Some drops of ink on top and the rest was randomly placed. I stamped some pictures of balloon and tracker, added some keys, clock and winter type leaves . The film stip is a Tim Holtz die. The cogs are a Do crafts die

 

The Grunge look

I decided to go a bit grungy for this page and try out some altered art stuff ( this was very adventurous of me) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I used stencils, Glimmer Glitz, Tim Holtz distress paints on the background and the clock. The lace was coloured with the glimmer glitz and then bits and pieces were randomly  applied. The little cog wheels are cut from a Do crafts die set.

 

 

 

Christmas cards 2013

I made a set of Christmas cards for family and friends.. All using the same theme, using Tim Holtz stamps, doily cutouts, ribbon, glitter and a Merry Christmas stamp. The lamp post, holly skates, birds etc were cut out using the Cricut.

 

Here are some of the wenvelopes I made for the cards. They were quite large and I could not find any premade envelopes to fit, so used the we R Memory Keepers envelope board,and stamped some small cards with Post Card heading from a Tim Holtz collection.

 This last one I made for my hubby. I masked a couple of stamps to get the joy/swirl composition. I stamped some snowflakes and then applied glue and green glitter to the snow flakes.
The cut out allowed me to put some old sheet music and lace behind the main picture.It was all finished off with a wee bow at around the main picture ( Tim Holtz)
