If I Had A Hammer

Hi Everyone 

Well Its challenge time again at  Art With No Boundaries   This Fortnight our main Challenge is Anything Goes and our Bonus Round is Heavy Metal, and is a tribute to the Handy Men in our lives.  I have used SolitaireHeavyMetal, Metal phrase, Vision and the mini nuts and bolts background all from the Steampunk Collection at CS Designs. I have also used the striped scalloped square frame from CS Designs as well.
OK! Here is what I did. I printed solitaire onto white card and coloured part of her face with promarkers, I then printed three copies onto acetate I glued gold, copper and silver leaf to the back of the acetate and cut each one out.I then paper pieced them to give me the above effect.the frame was metal leafed as well as the metal phrase. The background I left black and white. I added nails and a  chain. I am going to give this card to my dad for fathers day. Please check out the DT's designs they are stunning and join in at Art With No Boundaries

Hi Everyone
Well it's Jubilee weekend and this is my take on it  It's my brothers birthday next week. So I thought I would make a British card.The background papers and buttons are from Portabello road as is the Bus, Big Ben and Crown stamp. The bunting and keep calm stamps are from stamposaurus. The tags were die cut. I used copic ciao pens to colour in the bunting and the ribbons came from my stash.

Steampunked SolitaireHeavymetal

 Hi Everyone

 I am so excited. I have some fantastic news. I am delighted to be part of the talented Design Team at CS Designs. This is my first piece for Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent challenge . Anything Goes / Heavy Metal... I love the original artwork and sentiments that Chris creates. They are  truly beautiful  and  inspiring. The quality and detail are exceptional.

      OK! I really enjoyed this challenge. The image is called SolitaireHeavyMetal. The first thing I did was to visit  my husbands shed. Where amongst other things like cobwebs and spiders ugh!!!! I found the nuts and washers which are now recycled onto this card. I also used brads a small clock hand and various dies from my crafty stash. I printed the nuts and bolts mini  background image onto acetate and placed it onto copper mirri board. Coloured all three Solitaire's with promarkers and prisma pencils, cut and decoupaged the larger image.

The village Green

Hi Everyone
I thought that I would share this card with you. My dad who is 80 years young is a water colourist.  He  paints the picture about postcard size and I then mount it onto a card. This one is for my brother's birthday. He is a keen cricketer.  This year dad has painted 70 pictures for Christmas, for family and friends. So far I have mounted half of them. Last Christmas everyone loved receiving their cards because it was an original piece of art.  On this one I have stamped with indigoblu stamps and used Tim Holtz distress inks. This is the first birthday card that he has done. I think my brother is going to love it. And yes I end up making my own christmas and birthday cards LOL. Anyway thanks for stopping by Night Night x
