Challenge 29 - Schools Out OR Buttons and Bows

As the schools in the UK are now on holiday for 6 long weeks, we thought we'd combine a 'Schools Out' theme for those who would like to take on that idea, or, if you don't have children or if that's not your thing, a more open Buttons and Bows option is open to you.

Challenge 27 - Sun, Sea and Sand

As the main holiday season gets underway, school holidays looming when families will be zooming off to sunny climes, or even heading to a UK beach (weather permitting lol).  Sun, Sea and Sand, please use all three elements, either as visual e.g. a seaside scene, or you can use the names as the various colours e.g. use a sand colour with blue and yellow, in your project.. Or indeed both.

This week, we are proud to feature one of our excellent Design Team members, Brenda.

Brenda has produced this stunning piece for this weeks theme.

Brenda's Recipe

Those of you who have worked with PanPastels will know how versatile they are, they can be used with any of your supplies, including on mixed media projects, such as the little domino book I have created for our ‘Sun, Sea and Sand’ challenge this week.

This piece has been made using yellow, blue and green PanPastels, Distress Ink and Archival ink for the inside pages and then alcohol inks, painted cheesecloth and shrink plastic shells and sea horse for the dominoes.

The stamps used are Crafty Individuals plates 284 and 272.

On the inside I cut black card for the accordion pages and used white card on which I used the pastels and stamps for the beach scene. By cutting the scene up and moving the pieces around I created unusual mixed image pages adding the beach bunting to provide the title or focus.

To finish off, the cheesecloth and shrinkies created a very textural cover for the book and I tied it all together with vintage gold thread.

I would love it if you popped over to my blog to see more photos.

Challenge 26 - Ice Cream Colours

Summer is usually the time we all enjoy a lovely refreshing ice cream, so as a twist, we thought we'd use this angle to see what colours you would associate with ice cream and use it on a card, canvas or journal page etc.  In your write up, please tell us what 'flavours' you have associated to each colour, vanilla, chocolate, mint, pistachio etc.

Please note:  This weeks winner will be announced on Sunday 15th July.

Challenge 25 - Use A Digi

This weeks theme is Use A Digi.  The main image must therefore be a digital image, not a rubber/acrylic or similarly inked stamp.  As there are literally millions out there, the subject matter is totally open (as long as it is a digital image).

Our DT members are amazingly versatile and as always, produce inspiration galore.
