Giggle Boy...... By Katy

Its another Sunday, How do they come around so fast I ask myself?  This week I have been playing with the Maya Road Mists, I seriously do love these, and I now have two in my collection and I think its going to take a while to get them all :)

 I randomly sprayed my white Bazzill cardstock with the orange mist, and I really love the effect it has given this instead of a plain white background. Can you spot my little Maya Road robot sheer I have hidden on my page?  super cute I think they are!

Thanks for dropping by, and see you again next week.

"Altered Letter K" By Katy

Hi welcome back again this Sunday, I thought I would share my altered letter K. I seem to have had this a while just sitting on my shelf begging to be painted and attacked with embellishments.

I painted the letter first with black Acrylic paint and used some glossy accents to give it a lovely finish. 

Mine is a little rough in places as this was a very hard job, and I am no pro, anyone can do this. I then added some October Afternoon paper to the insert on the letter.

Then just add any embellishments that you like to it, I've used some bakers twine and added 2 cute little crystal beads to the ends and a Maya Road trinket flower and a Jenni Bowlin Embellished Butterfly, and there you have it one pretty altered letter to sit on a shelf in your craft room.

Thanks again for stopping by and see you all again next week

Button Flower Wall Hanging By Katy

Hi thanks for dropping by again this Sunday, sorry I was missing last week my mum has been very ill in hospital and as you can imagine I had a lot on my mind. So with that in mind I wanted to make something for my mum that she could have in hospital, I'm not 100% sure if its the same for the rest of the UK but the hospital here does not allow any fresh flowers on any ward. I set about making my mum this Button flower wall hanging for her wall just to add a little colour and help cheer her up.

I picked some random buttons in different sizes and layered them on top of each other and then a Prima flower to add to the bottom, I used craft wire to attach the whole bunch together to make bouquet style.

I twisted the whole bunch together and added some pretty ribbon to hold it in place.

My mum loved it so much and it sure brought a smile to her face, she is now home with us after 10 days and this is safely on her bedroom wall.

Thanks for stopping by and I love to read each and every comment you leave for me.

Just the two by Linda Elbourne!

I often get told that several crafters only have a few Distress Inks and they are unsure what to do with them! This week I closed my eyes and randomly picked two Distress Inks ... just to show that any two colours are a great start! Due to the tonal palette all 36 colours really do compliment each other.

This week I have decorated my chip coaster with lots of bits and pieces I had lying around and a whole host of my favourite bits too :0)

You can see the list of ingredients ... How I made the piece ... and a spot to leave a lovely comment :0) ... just HERE

Have a wonderful week everyone ... Laters!

A bit of a cheat by Linda Elbourne

   

  

Morning Bubbly Scrummies!

I am afraid I am going to cheat a bit this week ... well next week too actually!

I am off to Ranger U at the crack of dawn on Thursday and I am fast running out of time! So instead of making something especially for you I thought I would take this opportunity to show you the first five countdown tags I have been making over the last 10 days!

I have used basic manilla shipping tags and each one has been coloured using Distress Inks. By the time the 10th tag is finished I will have used all 36 colours ... which reminds me ... Bubbly Funk now have all the Distress Ink Colours on the website ... so what are you waiting for???

Have a good week everyone ... see you next week with more tags ... and if you can't wait that long you can always pop in and see what I am up to here.

Just One Ink Pad!

Hello Bubbly Scrummies! I am afraid there is no tutorial from me this week ... I would like to give a really good excuse at this point ... but I am afraid I don't have one! Basically I started photographing each stage of this chip piece ... then just before I stuck it all down I decided I hated it ... started more or less again from scratch ... and guess what ... forgot to take pictures!

I can tell you ... I have only used one Distress Ink pad ... Dusty Concord ... you get some lovely shades just by using different base card. I can also tell you that the darling little bird cage is made from shrink plastic ... I often forget just how much I love playing with that stuff!

The base is Maya Road chip and the butterflies are Grungepaper. Last but not least the little flowers are pages of an old book ... stuck onto some card ... die cut using the little flower on Tim's Tattered Florals die and coloured using Dusty Concord.

 

I have made this into a hangy piece ... no surprise there then ... but it would look fab with the holes covered and stuck onto the front of a card! Have a great week everyone ... until next time!

Face painting on chipboard!-by Ruth

I bet that Title got your attention my Bubbly friends!

OK so I didn't actually use face paint but I did use a few acrylics, a ton of white paint and just went for a rough Gypsy style......probably because I couldn't do any other style if I tried!!!

 Monet I am not...in fact I am probably a bit more Van Gogh.....slap on the thick and heavy paint and you can see the brush strokes, come to think of it I am probably a bit more like Jackson Pollack..he was the guy who stood on ladders and threw the paint at the canvas!

I used the Whispers of Colour No 6  inspiration from last week and found it really easy to find all of the pastels in my stash. I quite enjoyed matching the pink, blue, green and yellow colours together.

 

Full instructions can be found HERE

The cute Chipboard Flowers are available from Bubby Funk HERE

 

Love and paint
