Welcome Winter Canvas - Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share my take on the mood board this month.

Here's a reminder of the board.

I loved the frosty and chilly feel of it, so that was my inspiration.

Here's the canvas I made.

I used the BoBunny Winter Wishes Collection.  It was perfect for this project.

I created the background with gel medium and added colour with some distress inks.

I then fussy cut a number of elements and created a whimsical type scene.

I added some Pentart 3D balls, some flower soft and some glitter and paints for the snowy effects.

There are literally 3 days left to play along with this challenge.

So please be sure to upload your projects by 31 Dec.

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today to share my take on the sketch challenge this month.

Here's a reminder of the sketch.

Art Journal Page - Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share my take on this months mood board! ;-)

Here's a reminder of the board first.

This board certainly challenged me to try something different.

So I created an art journal page.

I used the Enchanted Garden collection from BoBunny, along with some stencils, stamps etc.

I created a little scene, with fairies, foliage, dragonflies, stars and the moon.

I wanted to use a "magical" sentiment and so found this gorgeous quote -

"She wanted to touch dragonflies and stars, 

Dance with fairies and talk to the Moon"

So this was the inspiration for the scene that I created.

I used a tree die-cut and some Distress ink to create the tree images and was rather pleased with how that turned out on the page! ;-)

So now it's your turn and we hope you will join the challenge!

Berry71Bleu June Challenge - Serenity Mood Board

Hello Everyone

Welcome to a new month and that means a new challenge! ;-)

It's Denise here today, to share the mood board and my project with you.

So firstly, here's the Serenity Mood Board.

I loved the soft colours on this board, as well as the gorgeous contry elements.

The word "Serenity" just popped into my head.

So I created this page, along the same colours, as the board.

I used the beautiful Butterfly Kisses Collection from BoBunny.  It's just beautiful and has the most beautiful sentiments too.  I used one of these sentiments "You are Enough" which is really so pertinent for me now.

Here's some close-ups.

I did a lot of fussy cutting for this page but it was well worth the efforts! ;-)

So now, we are so excited to see what you create! ;-)
We would also love to know what inspired you.
