Fluid Art

 Hi everyone,

Any of you that are friends with me on facebook may have already seen that I have started to do some fluid art. I wanted to share some of my makes with you here today. These are not finished with varnish and have not had any further paint added to them once dried.

This one is a magnet that was dipped in the run-off paint from some of the pink pours.

This was my first attempt at a feather pour, and I really like the fact that is does resemble a peacock feather in an abstract way.

 absolutely love the colours on this and the cells that formed are absolutely amazing! This is definitely one of my favourites so far.

This was the very first pour that I did. The black paint has glitter in it that came to the top as it driend, which looks really cool. I am planning on surrounding this with little mirrors as a focal point for one of my walls.

This one was a straight pour, again using the turquoise, black and white colour scheme. The cells on this are much larger than the flip cup one above, simply because of the variation in the movement of the paint.

This was my second attempt at a swipe, which I think worked quite well. I love the neon pink shining through the white, and the 'rivers' of lava through the centre.

This was an experimental swipe that did not work as the pearlescent purple was too light with the orange, so I took some darker purple and used that to swipe over the orange creating this great laced effect that looks like ink in water.

This was a ring pour with white, neon pink and red. I love the definition in the centre creating the rose and the pops of bright pink around the edges.

This was my first ring pour. While it hasn't kept the shape of a ring pour this is still one of my favourites (it was the second piece I did) simply because I think it looks like a whale (white area at the top) sitting in the ocean and creating a ripple as it is turning.

Again this one with the turquoise, white and black created a stunning effect due to the formation of the cells throughout the piece. These pieces did have silicon oil in the turquoise paint.

This one I cannot take credit for - this is a piece that my partner created, but I love it so much I had to share it. It looks like an amethyst geode to me!

Thanks for looking at my new craft obsession. I am sure I will have more to share with you.

Whimsical Fantasy, Springtime Birds and Floral Bunnies

 Welcome to another new month and we have a new challenge at I Love Promarkers where our optional theme is Cute and Whimsical, with Dis Digi Stamps as our sponsor. Here is my creation for this challenge, using Pretty mushroom house:


I coloured this image with my Promarkers and then fussy cut the image. I have a paper stack of fairy patterned paper so I chose one of these that worked well with the mushroom house to give a whimsical feel to the card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:
CraftyCatz #710 Anything Goes

Next up we have the new challenge at Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT), where the theme is Anything Spring.


For this one I used a decoupage set, that I think is a papermania set but I no longer have the packaging. I layered the decoupage image and then used the remaining pop-outs to decorate the edges. Finally I added peel-offs for the sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
AYLI - Fav Embellishment - One of my favourite embellishments are peel-offs as they are so easy to use in a variety of ways to suit the card you are creating.
Allsorts #846 Springtime

Finally, we have our winners post over on Creative Moments, where my DT inspiration for our current challenge is below, using Party Bunny from our sponsor Polkadoodles.


I tried to spray various Tim Holtz distress inks (including one of the mica ones) through a stencil, however the ink seeped under the stencil, hence the abstract effect. Therefore, I used a fineliner pen to draw the basic outline of the flower. I coloured the rabbit with pencil crayons (something I am starting to experiment more with) and then fussy cut her.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for looking at my creation, and do check out our blog posts.

All about the girls

Good evening - we have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of For the Girls. We are sponsored by Colour of Love and here is my DT card.


I coloured the image with my new pencil crayons, and I am really happy with the way the hair has turned out. I might just need to get a set that has more than 24 pencils in it. I then layered the image onto some floral patterned paper. I then added a foiled sentiment panel to the card under the image and added some diamantes to this.

Bunnies and Blooms

 Happy Mother's Day to all those celebrating today!

We have a new challenge started over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of Bunnies and Blooms - just in time for Easter if you celebrate it. Otherwise, think Springtime!! We are starting to see some more sun so it will be with us soon! This challenge is sponsored by the amazing Polkadoodles.

Here is my creation using Party Bunny.


I used the pre-coloured image from the set for this card - do keep your eyes open for a card using the outline image too. I took a butterfly die-cut that I had stamped using the matching stamp set from Marianne Creatables and placed this over the bunnies ear. I then took a flower die-cut from some texture paper and added my printed sentiment to the centre of this.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

TIOT - Make it feminine

Birthday Wishes

 Our new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the theme of Birthday. Do remember that you just have to colour your image now - you no longer need to use promarkers.

Our sponsor is Sheepski and I have used their wine image for my celebration card.


I bought some new colouring pencils the other day, so I decided to try using these, and I am quite pleased with how t worked out. The background was created using distress ink pads, to look like a field, before adding the fussy cut image. I sued peel-off's to finish the design.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Stormy Sky

 Our new challenge started yesterday over at Moving Along with the Times and our theme for the month is *birds and/or bees*. I decided to attempt to use one of my fluid art panels to create a picture - called stormy sky.

I took a previously created fluid art panel and stamped birds onto it. I then used Heat It Up embossing powder to create the bird effect. For the top ones I used Seafoam White, and the bottom ones had silver glitter in the embossing powder too. This didn't work as well as I hoped it would and I wish I had gone for gold flakes instead.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:

Thanks for looking - I will share more of my creations soon so you can see the development, and see my experiments.

Magical

 Our new challenge at I Love Promarkers has started today with the optional theme of *Magical*. We accept colouring of any kind now - not just Promarkers, but I did use Promarkers to colour my image, from our sponsor Dr Digi, this time.


I created the background with distress oxide ink sprayed onto a plastic bag and then laid the cardstock onto this. I layered this matt onto a pale blue 6x6" base card. I coloured the image using Promarkers, then cut it into a square before edging it with Promarkers, matching the background colours. To finish I added the diamante letters to spell out magic potion.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
ATSM #511 Make your Mark
