It's time for a new Team Lou challenge over at the  Southern Girls Challenge Blogspot  - this time we are looking at Fairies, Fantasy and/or flowers.  We have got some great sponsors for this challenge including  Technique Tuesday  and  Hannah Lyne Art . I have chosen to use a great digi stamp from Hannah Lyne Art -  Bookwork Fairy , it reminds me of my daughter, she loves to read and to write songs!  With this being my inspiration I have made a notebook for her.    This is something that I haven't done before so there was a bit of trial and error.  I used a notebook that I purchased from a store, making sure that it had a sturdy cover for my base.  I then added some sheet music and some other lightly patterned pieces of paper. From there I added my circles for the bubbles and tried a few different mediums to get them white....gesso was the winner in the end! I've added a bit of extra colour using gelatos.....I did discover that trying to write on top of the gesso

Welcome back it's that time again...I'm sure you don't all really need reminding to get your work of art uploaded for this months  Let's Craft and Create  challenge, but just incase you do here is my inspiration piece for the reminder.

Hi Everyone - today I have another challenge for you from  Do Al(1) Kreatives .  The theme is around pastel tones or shades and the image has been sponsored by  Sheep Ski Designs . I thought with this one I'd like to do something a bit different for me - so I made a tag!  I never make tags not even at Christmas time lol.  So here I present my first tag, leave me a comment and let me know if I did an ok job.  Who knows this year I may even create an art journal page....... I tried out a few different techniques on this tag.  I started by using some 13@rts Clear medium gel through a stencil.  Once the medium gel was dried I then used some 13@rts Metallic Teal paint over the top.  I was hoping that the gel wouldn't absorb the colour and I'd be left some really visible texture...unfortunately that wasn't the case.  I still liked the effect it gave though.    I built up some layers using a Kaisercraft frame die and edging.  I layered these under an
