The Little Mermaid and me....

Hello Peeps - another card today for the June challenge at Unstampabelles, where the main theme is

MAGIC

and the TWIST is to 

relate your work to a Disney film!

I used the cartoon film The Little Mermaid

I used a scrap piece left over from playing with Brusho's for my base

The bubble die is from Uniquely Creative (an Australian firm)

Discover is from Tim Holtz and Sizzix - words

The mermaid's tail and shells are from Jane Davenport

(another Australia company)

Jane also is a multi media artist and I try and follow some of her work

I have her faces book and some of her paints and inks

She is amazing and very generous.

I added a strip of washi tape to form the sea

The papers were nearly all offcuts and left overs today

I didn't cut into anything new!

I did add glitter glue to the tail and to the shells

but its a bit hard to pickup

Who knows - perhaps she might just emerge like magic from a beach near you!

We can now go to beaches and as long as we are socially distancing, we can all be there together!

- did you know the whiter the sand, the older it is?

This sand must be thousand of years old.....

Week 2 of Challenge#101 at Unstampabelles

Hello Peeps!

Yes, all lives matter.....

including Black Lives

Let's just be nice to one another and recognize that we all bleed red blood

regardless of the colour of our skin

Please respect each other and stay safe.

Today I am sharing a tag I made for the second week of Challenge #101

at Unstampabelles

 The primary theme is 

MAGIC 

and the TWIST is relate your piece to a Walt Disney Film

My tag is related to the film

Summer Magic!

When I was a child, Sunday night was Disney night on the television

I would pray for Fantasy Night every Sunday night

Of course, that only happened every now and then but 

the wonderful Hayley Mills was a second favorite!

The tag is a mix of elements

The girl comes from a freebie sheet I won  from New Zealand

and  fussy cut from a G & T Design (NZ) 2017 Paper-Arts

The background is from the base of my pizza box that I use to spray ink around

The word 'peace' was sprayed blue and so it is in the background

Some washi tape - gold - and die cuts

The wings are from a chocolate I had a Christmas

The love tag is a TH tag

The flowers are from the stash

It is just meant to be a bit of fantasy

I did have fun creating this

A summer's day in the garden.....

Bizzy Bec's June challenge

Hello Peeps!

Hope you are all doing OK with the strife this world is in and are hunkered

down and in a crafty place!

It is the beginning of the month and so I have a new project made for  

Bizzy Bec's Store Blog Challenge!

Anything Goes

Today I have made some tags

3 tags from one sheet of A4 thick Whisper White card

I began by using some stencils, sponges and TH Distress Inks

I have a few colours out but ended up using only three major ones

Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral, Broken China and a bit of Shabby Shutters (green)

My stencils are from mys stencil pile - a growing pile - and are varied

but any flower stencils would do and I used a honeycomb one as well

-or wire fence

My major theme was around Bees after all

I worked in three areas and then decided where the cuts were to be

but you could rule up lightly if you wanted to be precise

I over stamped the stencilling with black ink and used two 

Dark Room Door stamp sets (see below for details)

However, the sentiments and bees came from the set you can see in the photo

I selected ribbons after rounding the top corners of the tags and piercing them

Three ribbons used in each and I stitched and tied them in 

That took the longest time to do with my wonky hands!

It was night by the time I had finished so I used a flash to take the one below this to see if the colours changed at all and they did a bit!

A bit cleaner and more clarity perhaps.....

This is what I used......

Darkroom Door DDTS Buzzing Bees

Darkroom Door DDRS163 Fine Flowers

VersaFine Black ink

TH ink pads - various colours

Stencils - various from stash

Ribbon from my stash

If you wanted to improve thisyou could perhaps emboss with a black EP 

the flowers and sentiment and stamp and fussycut the bee; then colour the bee in as well

before attaching it on top of the original stamped bee.

Thee are always prizes at Bizzy Becs

Magic theme for Unstampabelles

Over at Unstampabelles this month - June, yeah, it's June - the newest challenge is to create something with the theme of 

MAGIC

with the TWIST of applying a Disney Film theme

I took my inspiration from the Jules Verne classic science fiction book

that Disney turned into a film in 1954

The Japanese version of the Nautilus at their theme park is amazing

My card (yes, a card again) is a sea based card......

because I find the sea quite magical!

I started by taping a piece of waste card with some Brusho's splattered onto it

onto my glass plate and then applying some texture paste through a stencil of splashes!

I mixed a few drops of RH Weathered Wood ink into the paste to create a pale blue paste

I then added some yellow ink into the paste and created the school of fishes

Then I die cut some underwater plants from some glitter paper scraps

I had only three colours and one was white, 

so I sprayed that with various sprays to colour it up appropriately

Then I mounted it on blue card and a white card base.

I outlined the fishes and made one into Nemo.......that is another WD Film.....

Some TH words made the sentiment

The paste up close with the die cuts

I hope you like the idea....

You have the month of June to come up with a suitable piece for this challenge

See you at Unstampabelles!
