Breathe in the Future,Breathe Out the Past

Morning and we have a new Anything Mixed Media Goes challenge at A Inky Mess and I certainly had fun with this one.First of all it was the beginning of this card!I stamped the branch wreath then as I lifted the stamp block up I dropped it and it stamped a second wreath just to the right---almost went in the bin then thought it could be covered with card/paper for another card--I then put some oxides through a stencil for another card and pressed the negative onto this one- a Crafters Companion texture stamp (one of my faves)round the edges then got put on my desk for a couple of days.

Looking through my stamps to make another card I found this one Florana from Pip Art which I bought last year and up until now never used--inspiration struck and I thought the head would fit nicely in the circle and found a craft mag freebie stamp(unused) which I though fitted the design perfectly--what do you think ??? I coloured the eyes and hair with promarkers and added glossy accents.Some stone wall mesh around card.
I was really please how this evolved and ended up.

Would like to welcome my new followers KELLY and JOY

Okay I Succumbed!!!

WElcome to my new follower Kren--I have a confession ---I succumbed---to the gorgeous single rose stamp from Honey Doo Crafts ---BUT in my defence I don't have a "single" fower stamp and this is absolutely gorgeous stamps perfectly and has shading already on the flower too.

Sooo this is a blip on using neglected stash and I made a quick CAS card.
I coloured the stamp with promarkers I die-cut a frame and the wooden love(coloured with promarkers) from stash.

Koi Pond

Morning and I have four DT posts today and completely forgot the order I scheduled so this one could be anything from 1 to 4 and is for the ATG challenge at Crafting With Friends and we are sponsored by Sparkle'N'Sprinkle.I used the images Koi Pond Beauty I used all PRE-COLOURED images.

Now this project was a combined effort as Holly youngest grandaughter was sick at school and I was summoned to pick up asap lol-after a miraculous recovery she took over I was instructed to cut out all the image-yer thanks Holly!I added the glossy accents and we found a pre-made background on my desk made with smooched oxides on black card and stamped leaves with hollographic EP which didn't work so hence a background.
Holly then place everything where it was to be stuck down.
It was then stuck down with silicone gel onto a canvas which had Aztec Lustre paint wiped on not enough to please Holly though!then put into a distressed frame.
