Corry When I look outside, I only see rain and wind. It looks like Autumn. That's why I made this card with some fall colors. I played with cream and brown distress ink. I did like to do the flowers with shades of blue.

The products I used are

Irre: Hello everyone. It's February, and with that, it soon will be Valentine's day. So for this month, I've made a Valentine's day card in brown tones.

I used papers from the Creative Doodles "Colour me" and from the Vintage & Ephemera collections. For the background paper, I also colored it in with a sparkly ink spray and wax paint. 

Have a lovely February!

Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT. As you can see our talented team have been busy working their creative/mixed media magic for you .....

This month we have a fabulous Guest Designer joining us! 
We love her creative work and are thrilled to have her with us, so here's a little insight into our fab Guest Designer:
Tina de Marche...
make sure you check out her blog HERE.....

Hi, I'm Tina and excited to be a Guest Designer this month​.
I'm a mom to 4 boys, so there's never a dull moment in my house.  I've always been surrounded by crafty people in my family (it's a big family), so my hands love to stay busy.  If it's not crafting, it's cooking or gardening that I enjoy doing.  I've been making cards for 14 years now, started in a Calligraphy group, then later on, I got into stamps.  I love to learn and try new things out, so I'm hoping to inspire you to do the same.



I used molding paste, stencils, tissue paper, inks and paints to create the background. Embellishments were also painted, inked, and sprayed to created harmony.
 
 Gemma.....
I had fun with this little canvas, it was complete and total play time for me, and I really like the end result. I threw so many different thin layers of mediums on it, I'm not sure I will remember them all pop over to my blog and see how many I do remember.
Belle Papillon Stamp Set
Jan For my tag I used Polkadoodles stamp set that I heat embossed I then used watercolour paints .For the background I used Distress Oxides. I love making tags so simple yet you can add so much

Terry,  Hey there crafters out there, I made a card for you this time, for your inspiration. I have worked on the background with lots of distress inks, mixed them all together to create these colors. Than I could use my Stampplatform for the very first time, I must say a Stamp platform is such a handy tool to use when you are creating WITH stamps, just fabulous. So I have created these flowers with the fabulous stampset  Regal Peacock and Bella Fleur. And I have colored the flowers and the Moth with Distress Oxide inks, on top I have worked with the Glitter Shake Markers, they work wonders on your stamps....The background was finished with a Sentiment and those cute little leaves. Wanna see more, than I suggest you come over to my blog and check it out.

Julia here, I Altered this watering can. First I primed with Gesso. I then used the gorgeous stamp sets, Blossom, Dotty about Flowers & Heavenly Bluebells http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/stampin-unicorn/ & stamped onto rice paper. I then coloured using Ecoline pens & adhered it using a decoupage medium. Used a metallic finish paint for the rest of the can, & then added some string & created a little flower using stone paper.

Claire C I've made a little Christmas canvas using my PanPastels this week. I created the background using Turuqoise, Paynes Grey and Permanent Red Shade Pans.

Terry; Lots of fun making a card for a change, The card is made from "old" papers, I Had lots of fun working on the background, using Panpastels, Crackle and offcourse Light Modelling Paste and stencils...


The decoration of my card was created with the sentiment stamped all over the card and with the sentiment Thinking of You I was letting my colleque know that I am thinking of her in the passing of her mother. Last but not least a butterfly. which I colored with Ink and Metallic Pans. 


The products that I have worked with are: 



Claire C I've made a card this week too using some of my favourite shade of PanPastels and of course a little stencilling too. Pans are brilliant for distressing as they are very forgiving, just use a little brown PanPastel around your papers to give a vintage look and the best thing of all, no blending problems!! The butterflies are from Polkadoodles 'Absolute Vintage' set





Tracy Scott - this week I've been playing with a mix of my acrylics, watercolours and my delicious PanPastels. I love mixing my mediums and seeing the effects that they create together.


I love to play with portraits and adore this mix of mediums. They really create a fabulous look. Thank you for stopping by xx
