PA DT ATCs

I created these 4 Artist Trading Cards as part of my PaperArtsy Design Team submissions, they sort of remind me of a batik dress I had when I was little.
The submissions I am working on are all using the new "Squiggly Ink" range.
I used Starburst Stains, Treasure Gold and Crackle Accents to add character and a little Kindy Glitz as faux bling.

12 days of Xmas invitation only swap

I can't share the details of who this swap is with or through but I was invited to take part. We had to each choose one of the "12 days of Xmas", I chose 8 maids a milking and have decided to make art dolls.
The background is painted texture paint, I also used fusible film.

ATC

I just made this ATC using MADJAK Juicy Junk backgrounds

Etched ATC...the Midas touch

A lady by the name of Colleen Booth sent me an ATC a couple of months back and asked if I"d be interested in a swap...the theme was "Midas Touch", which means gold themed, I was teaching the Peacock Princess art doll today and while my student decorated the base I made 3 ATCs in the theme requested, one will head to Colleen, one to Barb T and the other to a secret recipient who is quite keen to get her hands on an ATC from me.

The ATCs were made using black matteboard, which I embossed with MADJAK's Divine Gold fine embossing powder, I then attached a piece of one of my mini etched brass bits after I drilled holes and threaded and twisted goldtone wire and beads....I think it looks gold enough :)

mother nature's house

Liz Gale will be the next person to hold this piece as it will be heading her way this week.

I used white Jo Sonja texture paste, stamped into it with foam stamps and then smeared with rub n' buff...such a soft pastel piece.

house of ill repute

Martina Hart will be the new owner of lovely Marilyn, when I was thinking up this piece MM was the lady for the job, the piece is super simple with embossing and a good coat of opal dust to add some glamour.

a house of memories for Rob Keogh

I have used a picture of my grandparents for this piece...the picture is actually the master image of one of my stamp designs for MADJAK Designs :)

That's impasto around the top and lower corner and the lace that is peeking from behind the picture is some hand rusted doillie I had just begging to be used :)

Here is a little template for a Xmas bauble, I made it for a swap I am hosting on Zuzu's Petals and Buds but it is a free for all if it inspires you. I have written the size we are using for the swap but I think it would be just as nice at a larger size...perhaps even as a tree topper!

If you do use it please share the finished piece :)

Fairy House

This was the last housie I made last night...well this morning, I finished at 2am.
It has lots of sparkle and glitz, with a highly textured background.
I also used angelina fibers as well as fusible film.
This housie flutters off to Chris Bennett today
