Make a Scene

Hi Guys

Now this is not me making a scene in a physical sense but in my work.  Michelle my lovely teamie on TT's has set the theme this week and it is Make a Scene.

I have chosen to use my brayer again and actually had a happy accident.  I masked off to make the sun and actually went over the edge of the post-it so I had to make the reflection.  I have brayered the sky as I would usually.  I have masked off where the land is with 2 post-its, the top one with its natural edge and another that I have torn on the sticky part and used a sponge dauber to do the grass.

I did the reflection of the sun by just rubbing my dauber in horizontal lines down the page and then brayered the water over the top.  I have stamped and masked my Trendy Trees on the 'land' and 'Bambi' from Forest Friends.  To get the 'reflection' I stamped my image on the back of (smooth side) of my Stamp a ma jig imaging sheet and then placed it on my image where I wanted it ink side down and rubbed the ink onto my image and tadah you have a reflection.

I hope you like and until next time

Tuesday Taggers

It is that time of the week again.  Tuesday Taggers have the theme of Dragons this week chosen by the lovely Teri.  I haven't got any dragon stamps, or anything like that so I thought out of the box a little and went with a dragonfly.

The background has been brayered with bashful blue and old olive ink onto whisper white c/s. I have stamped and masked the flowers from Greenhouse Garden with Perfect Plum, Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant.  The dragonfly is punched using Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant.  The wings have been punched with the large oval, the body has been punched using the Word Window punch and then cut to a point.  The attennae have been made by cutting a slither of Taken with Teal c/s and sticking to the underside of the head.

So go and have a look what the rest of the DT have done at Tuesday Taggers

I hope you like

Until next time, happy crafting

Hi Guys

From 0900 this morning until Tuesday (the start of the next challenge), Tuesday Taggers are on a mission. This mission is simply a blog hop to celebrate the birthday of St Nicholas, who in Europe is also known as Father Christmas and celebrate the Birthday of fellow Tuesday Tagger Avril.

You should have come here from the lovely Debbies blog. For this we have chosen an image from Teri's website and used it to create our entry. Because it is for Christmas I have chosen a reindeer with pressie.

I have teamed this up with lots of yummy SU! goodies. I have used the On Board Journal with Very Vanilla cardstock that I have sponged with Real red ink and gone round the edges with Old Olive ink. I have used the faux bleach effect by flicking water on my inked up piece to create 'bleached' out spots.

I have coloured the image with my Stampin' Write markers and added fine galaxy glitter and dazzling diamonds to give bit of bling to it. I have also used the snowflake from the Wondrous Gift stampset and embossed with clear powder and also with white craft ink.

I hope you enjoy this hop and will come back again soon.

The letter you need to collect from me is D. So leave me a comment and hop on over to the lovely Lyn.

Until next time

Happy Crafting
