The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge

Hello, a new month also signals the new challenge details for The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge. For July the prompts are Turquoise and Beach Huts. As always there's a prize for the winner and there are also weekly challenges too, so even more chances to win. Do come over and say hello.

For my July Calendar page, I have used lots of different blue distress inks (although can't see on picture) to create a sky along with some fresco artic lake paint and some fluffy clouds cut out of cotton wool pads. The sand is made from torn pieces of sand paper. The images are stamped from PaperArtsy JOFY 16 BEACH HUTS stamp set and coloured with Polychromo Pencils. This was fun to put together. What do you think of this page?

I know I relish travelling to the beach and enjoying the seaside.

Thanks for looking. 

Happy Crafting

Calendar Challenge April

Hi guys. I've just seen my post didn't work back at the beginning of April. Apologies. So here it is.

For The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge, this April month we have the prompts of Blue and Umbrella.

Here's my page. I've used brusho colours on the background that I'd painted raindrops and splatters with masking fluid first. When raindrops dry I've rubbed off the masking fluid and used two layers of glossy accents with iridescent glitter between. The umbrellas are hand drawn and water coloured with distress inks. Some stamping with a Kaisercraft number stamp I'm grey stazon. 

Hope you like the bold colours. I was quite pleased and love experimenting with brusho crystal colours.
