Flourishes!!

Over at Theme Thursday this week its all about flourishes. Here is my contribution for this week.

My flourish is from a stamp set called Parisian Market from Technique Tuesday and my image is googled. I have used China Blue and Peeled Paint distress ink on gloss card. A small piece of nylon flywire and german scraps which was rubbed with JW's copper.

Thanks for dropping by and having a look, wishing you a day full of fun and laughter.

Tag Time!!

This week over at Theme Thursday it is Tag Time. I have never made tags before so this we great fun. I have used the technique in Tim Holtz's latest video using distress inks and Perfect Pearls. I have actually had the Pearls for a long time and never used them, so thought it would be a perfect opportunity to drag them out and play. Here is my tag :

I have used three stamps 1 from Tim Holtz mini muse collection and the other two are Mickey Choo designs. The flower and leaf are from Tim Holtz ideaology Foliage which are very yummy.

Thanks for dropping by have a fabulous day.

Numbers !!

Sort of missed the boat on submitting this one at Theme Thursday last week. As I had a migraine on my day off (boo hoo) I didn't get it finished in time. Not to worry, all better now and have finished it.

I had lots of messy fun with this one. I have used texture paste on the background, then using Golden Paints Turquois (Phthalo), Quin Magenta & Iridescent Gold. I then sprayed with Patina Glimmermist all over and when dry used a Paper Artsy stamp over the top. I then used Treasure Gold Oxynite over the top as a high light.

Thanks for looking have a fabulous day.

Gene Kelly ~ Dance and/or Music!!

This week over at Theme Thursday the topic is Dance and/or Music. Here is my contribution to this weeks theme.

I chose an image of Gene Kelly from google, the background is using Tim Holtz distress inks on gloss card, Tim Holtz stamp from his Mini Muse collection, german scraps and some little screw brads. The quote is from the internet. One of my favourite Gene Kelly movies is "Singin in the Rain" this is my tribute to that movie.
