Clash Of Colours, Airbrushing and Decadence

Good morning blogland. I'm here today with 3 makes but decided to do them all in one post rather than 3 separate ones.
So first up is my DT make for Polkadoodles, and this week it is a mid challenge reminder for the Clash Of Colours challenge. I am also using this card for my Premium Craft Brands challenge card. The challenge for this is Summer Fun

The image is from the fabulous Work & Play collection 4 and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The papers are from the Dollie Daydream Goes East CD and the Sugarplum Daisy CD. The beach hut and postcard are both Tattered Lace Dies. The sentiment, swirls and hearts are all from the Premium Craft Brands Postcard Stamp Set. I have distressed the edges of the papers, die cuts, sentiment, swirls and image with the Violet Pan Pastel. Finally I added some faux stitching around the edges.

Next up is my DT make for the Graph'It Markers Challenge Blog. This is a mid challenge inspiration post also, for the Airbrushing challenge.

 The DT were challenged to do some airbrushing with a drinking straw.  Well this didn't work at all so one of my teamies came up with the idea of using the barrel of a biro pen. This did the trick so thank you Claire C! First of all I coloured the image up, which is from the new Work & Play Collection 6, as are the papers. Then I printed the image out again and fussy cut and created a mask to cover the image. Then I got to work with the biro case and created a muddy ground and a blue sky. I'm quite please with how the ground turned out as it looks like the horse is kicking up some mud!

The Graph'It Markers I used are:

Skin: 4125, 4150, 4145, 4135, 3210

Horse and Rider: 9400-9407

Sky: 7125

Mud: 3255

Next up is my DT make for the Tattered Lace Monthly Challenge Blog.

The image is from the Fredericka Mini CD and is coloured with Graph'It Markers. The papers are from Lily Of The Valley. The Tattered Lace Dies I have used are the Foral Panel from issue 8 of the magazine, the Demure Corner, the Wonderous Wings, the Summer Crafting swirl and the Sentiments 2014 and Family Sentiments.

Well, thank you for sticking with me throughout this long post! I do hope you will come and join in our challenges for the chance to win some fab prizes!

Polkadoodles challenge week 20

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Polkadoodles and it is Things With Wings.
I've taken the theme laterally and this is my make.

So where's the wings you are asking! They are on her arms, water wings!

The cute image is from the Work and Play collection CD 4 which will be in the store soon!

She is coloured with Graph'It Markers. The papers are from the Wonderland CD-Rom and the die cut beach huts are from Tattered Lace. To get the distressed effect on them I painted them with White Gesso and then used Pan Pastels over the top. Then I have sanded them and then added a touch more Gesso on the railings. I think the effect is great, give it a go!

For the sand and sea I have used some micro beads I have had in a drawer for years!
