Ballerina en Pointe

Hello Everybody.

 

September is upon us, and in Australia, the 1st of September is the first day of Spring.

 

What better way to celebrate than to bring you my very first

Not Just Cards (NJC) Design Team project.

Not only is this my first project, it is Not Just Cards (NJC) first challenge.

 

For this canvas I wanted lots of flowers, elegant lines and a light airy feel that was still striking.

I found this beautiful Aurora Wings ballerina image just perfect. So soft and feminine

with long beautiful lines (and flowers of course). 

After colouring her with my Promarkers, I added shimmer to her dress

(and shoes), her wings and her flowers.

I also added shimmer to all the die cuts and a little to the background.

I hope you love her as much as I do.

Please stop by on Sunday to check out my next NJC project.

Thankyou and Happy Crafting.

Good morning all.

Today I have a mixed media canvas for you.

I purchased a number of these little birds when they where on sale, and have been hoarding them ever since (they were on a really good sale, I just had to buy them - right?)

 

I have been seeing a lot of birdhouse inspired projects, and that got me thinking about these super cute little birds, but I also wanted something slightly different.

I actually came up with this idea at work, sitting at my computer.

A colleague saw me doing a quick sketch of the layout, and that began an interesting conversation.

 

 

I used a couple of recycled items (can you spot them) and some homemade texture paste.

I keep the background muted so it wouldn't take away from the bird, but added bursts of pink and black for interest.

 

Thankyou all for stopping by, and if you like, please follow me.
