Blue as main colour at IAAS

The theme at IAAS this fortnight is Blue as the main colour.  I tried I REALLY tried and it's okay I admit it has some blue.   You can find the challenge on the  International Art and Soul blog . I've made yet another scrap page {sorry} using some photos I absolutely love of Axmouth.

Anything goes with circles/dots at Ikes Art

Image
Welcome to the challenge of Circles and dots over at  Ikes world challenges .  I could have gone literal but my first thoguht when I saw the challenge theme was the wonderful merry go round image from  Ikes Art .  They go in circles.  All I knew when I started this peice was that I wanted to use it, so I printed and coloured it.  Then when I sat down to use it I was originally going to use an embossing folder but changed my mind and at the last moment when I spotted my gelatos.  I used a scrapbooking template that had lots of different size circles and gelato'd them in various colours to make a bright background.  It was only whilst I was gluing the merry go round down I thought of the quote.  It reads: The bravest thing we can do is to step off the  merry go round of life to forge our own way and embrace what is best for us and only us!  ⓒSallie Baker 2020

The theme this week is cats.  I've used this image from  Ikes Art  to create this simple topper card.  I have no idea where the embossing folder came from but I do like it.

Under the Sea at IAAS

Image
International Art and Soul  have an easy challenge this fortnight or at least I think it is.  Their theme is under the sea, something I love.  I've chosen to make a porthole into the sea depths.  I got the MDF port hole from  Hobby Art  and the images are a stamp set from  Bumbleberrys .  I've used nuvou mousse for the silver work of the porthole.  The ocean is made using brushos and the stamps are coloured using Derwent pro colour pencils.  I've added some silver/clear gems to the porthole screws.

I am getting lax with the themes in order to do some postable and easy Christmas Cards.  The them this week is Holly.  I've used the stamp from  Hobby Art  and the embossing folder from Crafters Companion to make a quick easy topper card.
