Christmas Inchies

It's the midway reminder for this months challenge at

The 12 MOC Challenge

The image sheet I have used is from our sponsor this month which is

Luna Girl

The theme, which is optional, is to use both Silver and Gold on your card.

The papers I have used are from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles papers.

The squares have been punched out and layered. And the Christmas greeting has been die cut.

Please pop along and see the great ideas  my fellow team mates have made to inspire you and have a go and join in yourself.

Framed Beach

Challenge time again at The Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge.

I saw this frame in a shop, it was just coloured stripes then and I saw this beach seen in my head.

The shells, seaweed and bone fragment I picked up off a beach. I can't help it if I go to the seaside I have to go on a hunt for bits and pieces I may be able to use. The lighthouse and compass are die cut and coloured with distress inks. The fence, sea and sand in the bottom right is a good old rub-on. I've had it for years and it worked perfectly on this project. I just put a picture I'd taken recently in the middle.

I was really pleased with how this turned out. Please pop over to the challenge blog and see what my fellow team mates have made, there are some lovely ideas.

Flowers and Leaves

It's new challenge time at the 

Altered Eclectic Challenge.

The theme is, as always

Anything Goes

I've done a small canvas piece this month. The background is done with alcohol inks. I love this technique. I have used embossing paste through a stencil for the brick and the leaves. But I have put glitter over the leaves.

I have used metal leaves and flowers on the bottom corner and velvet leaves along the top edge. Some very different textures in this project.
