Through My Mask

My latest project for Splodgeaway is showcased on the blog today, using different mediums and masks.

I created the background by dry-brushing acrylic paint and covering it with a dye-based wash which gave a 'worn' look. On top of this I layered distress ink through a flower border mask and outlined it with white gel pen and finished it with snowtex coloured with reinker squished through the dot the lot mask. This overpowered the piece a little so when it was dry I sanded some of it back.
The main image was stamped onto a book page and coloured with coloured pencils to give a soft hint of colour and the rest of the images were stamped with sepia ink to give an overall impression of 'vintage worn'.

                               
                                       
A closer look at the texture.

I love experimenting with different mediums through my masks - the only problem is I sometimes forget to stop!!!
Thanx for stopping by and taking a look. Why not have a peek on the Splodgeaway blog n see what the rest of the fab DT have been up to here ? Hugz, Jayne xxxxx

Pink n Lemon

Hi all. Well I've had a really busy week last week n didn't manage to do any blogging or even any crafting for the whole week!!   :(    I'm trying to catch up but it's far too hot to hurry lol.
I haven't entered any of the Kenny K challenges for ages and as I had an order for a sweet 16th card I decided to combine the 2!
The challenge theme is Lemonade sale - a photo inspiration which was basically shades of pink n lemon. Here's my take on it

The image is Mae Western from Kenny K. I love her as she seems to have so much attitude !!!
The background was created with various papers from my stash and the sentiments from lili of the valley.

A close up of the lovely Mae whom I coloured with my promarkers, adding touches of foiling to finish.
Thanx for stopping by. Hugz, Jayne xxxx

  Thanx sooo much for stopping by. I appreciate every comment you all leave. Take care and hope to see you again soon. Hugz, Jayne xxxxxxx

2nd post of the day I'm on a roll! :)

Thought I'd better post my card I made for the I <3 promarkers challenge before I ran out of time !!! The theme this weeks a colour combo 'pink n blue'

I used a sweet Saturated Canary image for this. Love it - soooo girly!
I layered up various pink n blue patterned papers from my stash for the background and did a bit of faux stitching around some of it with sakura sparkle pans.

I die-cut my image and coloured it with promarkers and added fine ribbon which I threaded through the holes on the left hand side. A bow and a sentiment from Papermania added the finishing touches.
I like the 'clean' 'girly' look of this card. Why not pop over to the blog if you have time and look at the other fab entries here- maybe have a go yourself !
Thanx for taking the time to visit me and I really appreciate your comments.  Hope to see you all soon. Hugz, Jayne xxx

Lavender Tag

Good morning everyone. A gorjus sunny start to the morning here- let's hope it stays that way! Hope it's nice wherever you are.
My latest work for Splodgeaway is featured on their blog today- project 'anything but a card' Pop over to their blog and take a look at what we've all been up to here.
tomorrow sees Tom n Hazel back on create and craft so tune in to see all the DT work and some fab new masks.
 Before I start I'd just like to say hello and welcome to my new followers. Thanx for joining n I hope you find some inspiration or at least enjoy seeing what I've been up to ! lol.
 Back to my project. I decided to do something with fabric for a change so used some raw silk to produce this lavender bag.

I used loads of spray dyes to colour the background in conjunction with various splodgeaway masks then added the silver swirl with silver fabric paint through another splodgeaway mask. When I stamped the bird so it looked like it was sat on the silver swirl it didn't show up very well so I embroidered around the outline with metallic floss and coloured it with inktense pencil. I overstamped it all with a text stamp to add more texture. An eyelet was added with various fibres then lace and a heart charm finished it off.

I added a dot of liquid pearls as my birdie needed an eye ! lol

Hope you like my latest offering. Have a good day wherever you are n whatever you're doing. Hugz, Jayne xxxxx

Something 'Borrowed'

Evening all. Well it's been a good day. I met up with my crafty Monday mates and spent the day crafting :) We always have a laugh and a chat as we work. What more could you ask for !!!
 I was wracking my brains on what to take to do as I always seem to end up colouring and have loads of toppers done that I never get round to using! lol.
Sooooo.... this week I decided to practice my zentangle or my version of it anyway lol .I 'borrowed' a page from my daughter's colouring book to tangle and this is the result;

I was in my own little world and really enjoyed it AND I felt really relaxed which is a plus these days lol. Mind you I'm not sure what to do with it now it's finished! Hope you all like it. Thanx for visiting. Hugz, Jayne xxxxx

Toffee swirls

Morning everyone. We're off to a good start weather-wise as it's quite bright n sunny but the forecast for laters not good at all :(  Never mind.....some crafting time !
Before I start I'd just like to say welcome to my new followers and thankyou Sandy for taking the time to leave me soooo many lovely comments. Everyone's  comments are much appreciated. <3
My latest DT work is featured on the splodgeaway blog today http://splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/ so pop over if you have time n see some of the fab work the rest of the DT have created.
It was all about my fave mask n I chose the swirly lattice. I love the way the swirls draw your eye to the middleof your work.... perfect placement for your image !

My image is a digi stamp from Jade Dragonne. I coloured her face and hair with promarkers and 'tangled' the rest of the image . The background used distress inks and the swirly lattice mask. The sentiment is from Lili of the valley and I added a border and ribbon to finish. . . oh and some punched flowers in pearly copper paper!
Hope you like my latest creation. Take care and have a fab day whatever you're doing. Thanx for stopping by. Hugz, Jayne xxxx
