613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes Challenge/ Optional Twist - A Splash of Colour

Welcome back to another challenge at 613 Avenue Create. As always the challenge is an anything goes challenge and this months optional challenge is add a splash of colour. 

Our generous sponsor this month is  Polkadoodles. 

I have used an image from Polkadoddles 

for this "thank you tag".

I am enjoying this cute Polkadoodles image I used to make this tag. The tag is a die cut from my stash. I coloured the image and layered several different colours of cardstock to create my pattern. The tag was coloured with Copics, pencil crayons, and a gel pen. I added a sentiment, flower and ribbon to complete the tag.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month. Hope you will join us again soon.

This is a picture of the gelli print I had in my stash.

I had done this print quite a long time ago, was not happy with it and was going to throw it out but I liked the way it was with the flowered tissue paper over it. The inspiration for the colour of the project was the stripes on the washi tape.

Time for another great challenge over at A Place to Start.  As always the challenge is anything goes with an optional of twist this  month of just add a flower.

Anything goes

This card I made for one of the little ones in my family for his fifth birthday.  The earth is a digital stamp from Hazuzu on Esty Canada. The rocket was drawn by me using various ideas for a rocket. I added a sentiment, silver stars, some penned details. All thought the stars ar all die cut out os the same paper my camera light changed some of the colours. I hope he enjoys his card.

613 Avenue Create March - Anything Goes - Diamonds or Pearls

Time for a our March's challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  As always our challenge is "Anything Goes" and this month our optional twist is to use diamonds or pearls (add gems or bling to your project).  

Our generous sponsor this month is 

Mirtillamente's collection of digital stamps can be found here. 

Mirtillamente's facebook page can be found here. 

I am using an image from our sponsor called Lea from the 

LE OLIVIE collection

 I used a combination of copics, pencil crayons, gel pens and glitter pens to colour my lady. I also used diamond coloured gems to frame the lady and to give her some sparkle along with a pearl necklace and a glitter paper background. 

I think my sentiment fitted the card perfectly "You are unique. Let you sparkle show everywhere you go."

Creative Artiste- Challenge March 2024

 Welcome back to Creative Artiste Challenges.  Time for our March challenge.  Your project must be Mixed Media and can be an ATC, tag, card, layout, altered art or an off-the-page project as long as you follow the challenge specifications. You must use at least 3 different mediums on your project to qualify for our mixed media rules.

This is my project for this month, an art journal page using a napkin from my stash along with my paints, inks, stencils, gel plate, glitter beads and dyes. 

To create the background to my art journal page I used my gel plate, acrylic paints (green, aqua blue, gold, white) and a stencil.  The wolf's face is an napkin that I got from a friend at a get together. I thought it was to pretty  to use as a napkin. 

Once I added the napkin adhered to the page, added more lines on the wolf to show off his face more. I also adjusted the ears size. I stenciled the leaves over the background and around the wolf's face, added a couple of butterflies, a sentiment and a flower I layered with some die cuts and added gold beads for the center. 

It was a fun project. Lots of colours to play with.
