Southern Girls Challenge - Anything Goes

-

So firstly sorry for the delay in this post!  I thought I had hit the publish button but I must have had one of those senior moments.  

Welcome to another Southern Girls Challenge!  There isn't technically a theme this month, so it's 'Anything Goes!' ...for me lately it's been all about Christmas and getting ready for the end of the school year coming up.  So my inspiration piece this month is a little bit of an unconventional Xmas card. 


Firstly I have used a coat of Clear gesso on some white cardstock. Then I've created a few layers using texture paste, and then layering up with some chipboard, and embellishments.

I've layered some muslin cloth behind my deer head, added some flowers and then splattered and sprayed on top.

While things have still been a wee bit wet I have sprinkled over some fine dust glitter to add that bit of extra sparkle.


 Materials I have used
Art Basics Clear Gesso
13@rts fine glitter
Kaisercraft Christmas Wishes - Bauble Garland Paper
Kaisercraft Silver pearl string
Heidi Swapp Colour shine - Blush
Heidi Swapp Colour Shine - Seafoam
Heidi Swapp Colour Shine - Tinsel
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Kaisercraft Coconut Flowers

This months challenge has been sponsored by Krafters Cart and Lacy Sunshine Stamps.

Southern Girls Challenge - Anything goes

Welcome back everyone!  This time of the year is when things really start to get busy for me - so an anything goes challenge is just perfect.  Busy times do often mean that my relaxing times are spent playing with my craft goodies. I have used a New Zealand Brand here of Rosies Studio - Indigo mist range. This is a range that I had in my stash - yes I'm going through one of those phases where I feel the need to use up more of my hidden stash rather than think of myself as a craft supply horder. So here we have 'Love u' This particular paper was a bight too pink for me - so I toned it down by applying a thin layer of white gesso over the top of some clear gesso so as not to destroy my paper. I have used left over scraps of varying lengths to build up my next layer and to add that directional layer. I'd love to see what you are working on so remember to join in the challenge fun!

Hi everyone! So I am a little bit excited to let you all know that I am a guest designer over at Clique Kits ! I was asked to pick from their kit range, a kit to use as my inspiration and I happened to notice a NZ brand Rosie's Studio.  So being a kiwi I opted for this one which sports the great Indigo Mist range, which is described as wintery florals, wood textures, and misty pinks, teals and blues - a modern yet rustic collection. #RosiesStudio #Indigomist #Cliquekits My lovely box arrived with a full set of Indigo Mist papers, Butterfly embellishments, gemstones, vellum die cuts, veneer embellishments, collectables, doilies and some designer buttons.  A great kit full of products that I could instantly see would be well suited to almost any style of scrapbooking, card making or general paper crafting! I have to apologise for the lack of process photo's as I had so many ideas for this range that I ended up swapping and changing my mind on things right the way through
