Heartfelt

 

Scribbles theme this month is Heartfelt.  Check out the design team work, get inspired, and join us, here:  scribblesdesignschallenge

Scribbles image, get it here: #A 20 Heart Doodle 3

I printed the image, coloured it, cut it out and highlighted the little heart with Kindyglitz ( hearts should have a little sparkle).  I love this soft brushed silver paper.  I only have a few sheets left and am using them very carefully as I haven't ever seen quite the same since I bought it when we lived in UK.  Now I wished I'd bought a heap of it.

Cocktail Cheers

 

Scribbles challenge is Sparkle & Shine.  Think of me here in NZ in the full heat of summer drinking this cool, frosted drink called a Traffic Light.  The sparkle is from Wink of Stella, like moisture all over the glass when it's been in the fridge.  I wanted to keep it clean and simple, so used dry embossing to make a subtle surface for the glass to stand on; it adds a bit of texture too.

Kiwi Birthday

 Scribbles - Layer it Up - November

We have friends with a Kiwifruit Orchard, so this will be for one of their birthdays.  Also New Zealanders are known as Kiwis.  So ... from all of us kiwis.

The background is printed onto paper from Lozzy.  The frame around the kiwis is coloured with dull gold Sharpie pen, and the little loopy doodles attached are coloured with metallic gold Stardust pen. Edge inked with D'Inks.  The kiwis are printed onto patterned paper ( sorry, I don't know here I got this), and cut out.  On is raised on 3D foam, the rest are stuck down onto the background.  The skin edges of the kiwifruit are coloured with dull gold Sharpie pen, and the centers with WoS.  Here is a kiwifruit made into a kiwi!

I (heart) Carl

 Scribbles Designs challenge for October is Feature a Creature.  I chose Carl, a special froggy.

I used my new gelli plate to make the background, swiping inks and brayering etc.  It makes a lovely texture and I got a couple of prints each time.  I added a bit more interest to the background by making twinkles with a sakura clear Stardust pen which, amazingly, I managed to show up in the photo.

Also:  D. inks & D.Oxide inks (watered and made to splatter on Carl before he was cut out), gold mist, perfect pearls mist, Sakura clear Stardust pen.

Moon Box

                                                                                                                                 before:
Scribbles June challenge is Flip-a-Coin!                           
What fun!  Check it out here:  scribblesdesignschallenge


There are five flips.  My flip was: CAS, shaped, gemstones, ribbon/twine, recycled/upcycled.  EEeeeekk!
This would be great for a man to keep his jewellery in.  Or a woman.

What a great challenge.
Round dies: Spellbinders
Copics, black acrylic paint, metallic flakes, gems, twine

I painted the box black, when dry, I sanded randomly to get an aged look.  The image lent itself to adding gold leaf flakes which I did to small areas as I did not want to overwhelm the image (and remember, I had to keep it CAS), coloured the eyes and lips, then added the gemstones.  I was going to keep it toned down and then thought " hey, they are gems, go to town"!  I think it's still CAS?
(Lots of white area, minimal layers etc)

Chicklet Snapshot

Scribbles Designs challenge is Brads, Buttons and/or Bows.  I included a button and a bow.

Check out the design team inspiration, here: scribblesdesignschallenge

HB die: Poppy Stamps
Papers: Pixel Scrapper
Twine, button




I printed the image 3 times: green dotty paper, yellow hex paper, white card.  I cut the frame out of yellow (including the middle), then the bird.  Layered them onto the trimmed printed white card without the centre cut out.  Added twine & button, then layered the whole lot onto dark orange textured card.  Added the sentiment which has been diecut with wide DS tape on the back and applied directly.  That means I don't get the letters all wonky!
