ColourCraft - Guest Designer

Hi there, Alysha here as a guest designer this week at
Colour craft, Claire kindly asked me to submit a piece.
At the moment I am very much into butterflies and creating single layered backgrounds. Here I have spritzed card using Gamboge, Red, Yellow, Orange and Sunburst Lemon Brushos, I have then built up the stamping "layers" To finish I have added a butterfly and sentiment to suit.
Please visit Colour craft too for some gorgeous inspiration and some wonderful products
Have a wonderful day, hugs Aly xx

Okayyyyyyyy so Katy asked me to join the FABULOUS Mixed Up Blog Challenge Team, so thrilled! So this week we are running a challenge with the theme TEXTURE

A little Fairy Magic…….

I created a little scene using Lavinia Stamps. I actually used a sheet of card I had been using to “mop up” my bits of distress oxides, so I used a tiny round sponge and sponged on the dots, then I spritzed a piece of card with brusho I had mixed in water and put in a spray bottle to create another background. I stamped the fairy (Lavinia Stamps) and the sentiment (from the web) onto tissue paper and “mod podged” them onto the background and glittered in places to finish.

Hope you like

Let it Snow ~ Mixed Up Merchandise

Today I have a gorgeous canvas for you I was wandering around in The Range last week in the xmas decorations isle and I found bags of snow and snow balls for just £1.00 a bag and I just had to grab a couple of bags, as you do, lol. So when I got home I knew just what I was going to do as I really think that it looks great surrounding the girl and her dog on a wintry day. I used a 6x4 sheet of mount board for the canvas, texture paste through a snowflake mask, used pva to adhere the snowflakes and balls and added the gorgeous image on top. I also used packaging string for added interest.

Hope you like
