It's Vacation Time

Well for one little lady its vacation time

Unfortunatly it's not me... Sobs loudly...

The other morning I was sitting having a cuppa and deciding on my next Vera lane image that I was going to colour up ,when this little lady hopped straight into my basket begging me to take her home would of been rude of me not too

Sooooo I made her her own little suitcase and guess what she has gone to live with my Granddaughter who fell in love with her.

I loved making this up when I could eventually get the suitcase straps to fit right - I had cut them in completly reverse colours but it took me a while to figure out

You can find little Miss Traveler in the Etsy Store right here

She comes complete with a camera, postcard, map and three different sentiments.

I added in the film roll where I shrunk her right down to fit

I also added a postage stamp which I used one of the Dilly's Girls.

I coloured up using Distress Inks and used some Distress Oxides on the postcard and sentiment

I had endess fun with this

Happy Wet Friday

Ohhh so much rain but I don't care, I really am in my happy place right now with crafting

A few days ago I discovered Vera Lane images, 

I totally am having a blast!!

Here is a link to the store

Vera Lane Studio

But be warned addiction may occur!!

I decided I wanted to make myself a canvas

This one is 8x8

I started off doing the boring Gesso and once dried I used a Tim Holtz stencil for the brick work along with some modelling paste ~ Luckily at this point I went shopping so it could dry naturally without me sticking me fingers in to see if its dry even though I knew it wasn't.

So once home I painted a random background using Ecolines.

I used a inkwell stamp Meadow Row for the black stamping at the bottom.

And added a few various stencils and stamps

Now from Vera Lane Studio I used

Brown-eyed Susan set 

Birds of a Feather small things matter

Blooms

Sprinkle Sparkle

I also used the amazing collage sheets

Circles and Stems

Blue collage Scraps

I have used Distress inks to colour and some oxides on the background

I finished off by giving the bee's a sprinkle of glitter and then added some fun sequin mix oh a a few splodges of Nuvo drops Gloss ~ Carnation Pink

Hasn't that girl got attitude!! I do love some attitude

I used Distress Oxides on the background along with some fun stencils

For colouring up I used Distress Ink

I used a couple of random stamps the Orange flower stem and the tiny circles around the edges

Then....... Now I am really excited about this....

I found not only these perfect images but.....

There are also Collage elements

I got the circles and stems sheet , I could not wait to chop into it

And thats where the butterflies, sentiment and flowers are from also painted with Distress Inks.

For the Butterflies I dusted around the edges using Stampendous Ultra Fine Crystal Glitter.

The Flower centers are Nuvo Glitter Accents

And used a few random (old) Die's for decoration

The Lace is from Crafty Ribbons, I used a legnth across the bottom section of the card and some off cuts for the top of the tag tied with a little twine

Love 2 Create

Happy Sunday

Am here to share with you my project for this months Love 2 Create

Make sure you pop across to the challenge blog to see the other wonders from my teamies

This time I have made another set of ATC Coins
I am soooooo addicted 
I was asked lots of questions about my set I made the other week
**Although I am using MDF coins ~ these could quite easily be used with a 2.5 round circle punch depending on the medium you are using would depend on your card stock
**There are various groups about that swap these coins ~ I am keeping mine for now
 **You can personalise them , I have used Mike Deakin's ATCoin back digi page and these were punched out using my circle punch (you can see this in one of the photo's) You can purchase the page here
For my coins this time I have take the Wonderland route ~ I totally had so much fun playing with these

As before I used Distress Inks on the background and splattered them with water

I then used Polkadoodles Accents stencil - Stars and Circles and then splattered gently with black paint, 

The Sentiments are from Polkadoodles 6 x 6 Posy Doodles paper pack - Sentiment sheet, and all the Wonderland lushness is from Polkadoodles Winnie in Wonderland printable collection

And here is the back of coin number 3 ~ using the Mike Deaking Atc page
