HIP HIP HOORAY ~ SUMMER CELEBRATIONS

For my main project I am using the

 JUNE MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE CALLED MONSTER MASH

Zombie elephant plus sentiment

This is just a simple card but before I get on to this I would just like to share two more. For the last week we have been staying at my youngest son's place with our granddaughters.

In Spotlight I saw a We R Memory Makers Airbrush set and I thought we would all like to play with this! (We did!)

I had a few images and sentiments in my diary and Isabell (aged 9) enjoyed spraying these.

 We then put them together into a couple of cards.

Unfortunately the photos are quite dark as I didn't have a good spot to take them...

This one used CCC14 Bouquet of Love

Despite the skull she quite liked this image but she found the next one quite scary.

This is the image that Lizzy Love drew for the Clever Dexter Challenge.

By the way, you still have a few days to enter the current Clever Dexter Challenge

But back to my card....

Step ONE

Print the image and sentiment. Spray with marker airbrush using markers that came with the kit.  Add more colour with usual markers.

Step TWO

Cut to size and add a pink card mat and place on pale blue rectangular card blank.

Step THREE

Add an embellishment using another piece of pink card and some washi.

Step FOUR

Add some small pearls.

HIP HIP HOORAY ~ SUMMER CELEBRATIONS

Yes, I know it's June but I am still using the

 MAY MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE CALLED CREEPY VS CUTE

 - both images -

I have already used this set for a pair of ATCs - find the post here

 and the paper clip card - find the post here

But I am doing that ICAD thing - and I thought these images would be perfect on Index Cards.

So here we have two index cards - small pieces of art on cards, 5 inches by 3 inches.

Notice Mister Spiky has turned up again!

These Index Cards are similar to my ATCs but I have used Gelli print backgrounds rather that papers from my stash, and coloured the images with markers rather than my shimmery watercolours.

Step ONE

Print the images and colour with markers.

Step TWO

Fussy cut the images using scissors and a craft knife.

Step THREE

Using my Gelli plate and acrylics make some pulls. Choose appropriate ones and cut to size. Adhere to the index cards.

The first one is acrylic paint with marks made with some home-made hot glue stamps. The second is acrylic paint with marks made with some commercial foam stamps.

Step FOUR

Add the sunflowers to the backgrounds.

Step FIVE

Add sentiments - printed, trimmed, distressed along the edges with black ink and with a couple of embellishments.

CREEPY VS CUTE.

       

Here are today's makes for Oddball Art Co - Our Oddball theme for this month is 

Flowers and Sunshine

I am using the MAY MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE CALLED CREEPY VS CUTE. - images and sentiments.

Today I have made two ATCs.

(I saw a Spiky Babe on one of my friend's blogs and it amused me to make one from a Gelli pull!)

But for the ATCs...

Step ONE

Print the images  and paint with shimmery water colours. When dry cut them out.

I trimmed the sentiments and added some black soot distress around the edges

Step TWO

Prepare the back grounds. In each case I started with a black card 2.5 by 3.5 inches. I layered these with a yellow 'water colour' paper and a 'slimy' paper, both from my stash.

I added the elements as shown - in this picture you can see the shine!

Step THREE

For the extra pieces on the images, I punched them out and added them here and there trimming them to size.

I added doodling with a black pen.

Today I have used both the image and the sentiment from this set - and I have been playing in my journal...

Step One:

Firstly I used a page that had had some left over green and blue paint added.

I then used a variety of other colours through stencils allowing areas to dry before adding another colour.

Step Two:

I added Distress ink in Stormy Sky and Black Soot around the edges.

Step Three:

 I added some white splatter with gloss spray.

Step Four:

While this was drying I printed the sentiment and image, adding colour with markers. I trimmed the sentiment and added Distress ink. I fussy cut the image. I also found a Tim Holtz sentiment.

Step Five:

 I adhered the above and then added some pen work with paint and Micron pens.

Happy Crafting!
