Beautified my phone ...

A little while ago Claudine Criner acquired a clear phone case and made some art for her phone, which was awesome. Then my friend Cynthia made one for her phone, which I absolutely love and I started 'needing' that personalized art to beautify my phone too. Well, thanks to this absolutely GORGEOUS Dilly Beans Image #587, Penny's Heart String I have done it. I am sooo in love xxxx

I made this for my resident guest design team project at Not Just Cards Challenge Blog, they have great sponsors and there is really awesome samples and art there, you should check it out and link up something you have made :)

My phone cover is colored with copics and prisma color pencils, then I punched the hearts from the same paper colored with matching copics. The sentiment is from a set by 'Creative Expressions' called Thoughtful Sentiments. I thought it was just perfect. Its amazing what you find when you go through your stash ! lol

Wicked Wednesday atc's : Halloween

Fun challenge this week to create Halloween atc's for Wicked Wednesday atc challenge blog.

I did two, the first is a Dilly Beans image. Here is my atc and a close up of the fab image , which I also entered into the Dilly Beans Challenge this week :) Aren't their images just awesome x

I colored my image with copics, and added some stars / dots. The background was made with strips of washi, then I added a thin layer of gesso to tone it down a bit. 

The second atc was with a funky spider image from QKR Stampede:

I printed the image onto a graph paper and sponged lightly with distress ink, then fussy cut it. I layered this onto brown cardstock and left the top corner where I drew in some more web.

I reprinted the spider image, added a thin layer of acrylic ground for pastels, then when it was dry I used my prisma color pencils to color and blend. So much fun ... I fussy cut the spider and glued over the top of the black spider beneath.

Thanks for visiting :)
