Decoupage The Dolly Dimples way - Part 2

 Happy Monday,

I actually can't believe we are in September, soon be Christmas (more on that later in my post!)

I have again used my journal with the theme of men's cards the ones we all struggle with, not any more, over at Dolly Dimples there are oodles of Decoupage under the heading Men / Transport

I chose the page Piano, Which was a lot of fun!

His wild hair kept making me giggle!

I also used the stencil Screw Heads and Seals #008

I used this with some Distress Oxide - Vintage Photo.

The Sentiment is from Stickers with a difference

(My go to Sentiments)

Next week is going to be all about Christmas, it will be a lot more than a journal page so be sure to check back

Dolly Dimples Decoupage

 Happy Monday

I am here today to share with you my journey of decoupage the Dolly Dimples way!

I adore Dolly Dimples crafts and I just love Decoupage . 

I find it so relaxing , so if you find yourself a little stressed order yourself a sheet, grab some scissors, foam pads, or 3d glue (I always use this although in the coming months I may try the pads)

My first share is decoupage in the front of my journal.

The goodies that I have used are :

Decoupage Sheet - Green Orchid

Stencil - Fantasy Flower #25

Sentiment - Stickers With a Difference

I also used

Distress Inks - Mowed Lawn/Lucky Clover/Pine Needles

Glossy Highlights

Sequin Waste

I am not sure why in my photo my Glossy Highlights still look wet in real life they look so lush - I had so much fun putting this together my only wish is that I wish I had made it into a card so I could have sent it to someone , never mind there is always next time, and until then

Take Care

It's a Frenchie Friends Day

Happy Monday Everyone super excited to share another card from

Stampotique New Release

This time I have used 

Frenchie by Artist Karen Hayselden

How cute is he!! So much so I stamped him 3 times

I have also used another new release 

Frames Cube by Artist Terri Richardson

and.......

I used the word Friends from this months new cube stamp release Artist Arwen McCullen

I have also used 

Texture Cube 1 Artist Kate Crane

I used Distress Oxide Ink on the background

I then mixed some Texture paste with some paint and used a dog bone stencil and added texture from the texture cube (this is amazing)

I used the newrelease frames and popping a few together made a camera roll , masking off I added Frenchie and coloured using Distress inks.

I then added the Friends quote to finish

Happy Sunday

I am happy to be here today to share with you a project I made for the Love to Create Mixed Media team.

I have had a little dabble in mixed media and I must admit to loving it so big gal's knickers on I decided to try adding more textures etc
Pop across and join in the fun ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes and you could will a fabby prize
Find us Here

I started out with a thick chipboard tag and used Gesso them some metallic ice blue paint.

I used a little corragated card and painted that metallic Bronze , wasn't sure if was was the right colour for sand but it sort of worked, splashed about a little white paint

I used textured paste and used the stencil

Accents Stencil

I then used Distress Oxide inks and coloured over my tag 

The stamp sets I used are

Tropical Underworld

&

Wish you were here

I also used some cheesecloth on the tag I left it white but the tie I coloured with Distress ink.

I used and painted bits and bobs of little shells, string etc 

Sprinkled on some sequins 

I used a button on the tie 

Mixed Vintage Seafaring

I really enjoyed making this and I am hoping my mixed media is off to another level 

Thank you for looking
