ANIMAL ANTICS # 749...DT

 Hello everyone,

Well, that week flew by and thank you all who came over and played at LITTLE RED WAGON  and now it is time for our JanR to choose a theme and her theme is "ANIMAL ANTICS - any animal you want, any craft you want, just go for it..

My mind went straight to the sea [ of course it did ] and because, not too long ago there was a post up in our Napier news about dolphins swimming and diving and playing across our bay, people by the hundreds went up there to see them and apparently there were as many dolphins as people..so that's where I started..


with my dies..


I did cut my dolphins twice, one in dark grey and once in light grey,,


added joined them together and added a little shading..


Then into my scrap bag, the blues..


and found just what I needed...


morning from Holly as she plonked her butt down right onto my die cuts!!


Fie cut under the sea stuff, plants and coral and sand, things like that..


and my new wave border dies...lovely and cut perfectly.


Then I made some clouds with my sponge dauber and gesso..


added my royal blue waves..


Made stripes from left over card stock..


I die cut the sand but added brown papers on first as it looks better and fuller..


See what I mean, then added fish and plants...


Went back to my panels and added the dolphins who are frolicking and playing in the sea..


under the sea it is very quiet...no frolicking here..


The card opened up flat..


and here it is propped up...it;s a double easel..


and there you go..done..


So what animal can you think of for anitics..

VINTAGE TAGS..



Hello everyone,

As I was given these tag size gift cards to use as I see fit..I had a play, trimmed the side to make them,

 3 1/2 x 8..



So here they are..


Covered them in brown paper..


added atg tops from black card and punched a hole..


and had this much so far...


then stamped them, and stamped them hard..
I FILLED that background..



Then went over the top with a stencil and white embossed..


then the fussy cut pictures came out to play..


I love the vintage style all of a sudden..


Then there were three...


Added eyelets 


Thn decided they needed an embellishment, so I used my stickers,


on black card stock, cut around them,punched a hole,


added round onto square...


and strung them on...done..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll be back with a DT project  in a few hours..

See you then..

I MADE A MOTH!!

 Hello everyone, 

Gosh, I've been a busy bee as Autumn is running not crawling into my side of the world and I had outside work to do which is now done so back into my room where I accidently made a moth, but then made it deliberate..and it all started while I was making backgrounds..


scraps of paper and some I wish now that I didn't rip up as they have been perfect for what I'm working on now..


but rip them up I did, and then glued them all together onto a piece of card stock..


See..


and this one...


then I dribbled ink all down it..


moved it around a bit and loads of water...


Spray and water...


both sheets copped it.. no one was safe from my inks..


then I had these two sheets to work with..fun..


I had a go at under the sea colours..


plenty of inks and paint as they react so differently,
 sometimes good, sometimes not so good.


When completely dry, I added some bubbles, my first attempt at that..




After a few more hours of playing I had all these backgrounds...

Then this happened...


all this ink and some paint was leftover on my mat
 and to dispose of it, I pressed paper down on it then folded the paper in half..
Not thinking at all..


The I opened it and the first thing I saw was a moth..


with paint and the open end of my dauber, I dipped and..


stamped circles on it...


Then crudely made a body and antennas. 


some smaller dots inside the bigger ones..


a bit of white here and there and I had a moth!..


what a great day..


My finished page..
Big tile stickers for sentiment..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
