Going in Circles

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

Oops thought I had the clock face straight when I took this picture (should have put my glasses on hahaha) - anyway, sorry it is a bit off centre.  Most of this project was completed digitally.  I first positioned 12 of the digital image 'Pathanon Horse' in the correct position and then added the numbers and hour points.  Next I added another layer to my design for the background which I embossed and then added a gradient.  The horses were then coloured on two separate layers, one dark for the manes and bases and the other light grey with a texture added.  Once the digital designing was completed I printed the design and mounted it on thick card then cut it out.  Onto the clock which is from Ikea.  I dismantled the clock and covered it in black vinyl then attached my printed clock face.  Next I finished off the centre of the clock with some pearls and metal beads and finally added the perspex top layer of the clock with the red hand already marked onto it (part of the original clock design).  To finish of I die cut a couple of corners in grey card using a Tattered Lace die.

For this weeks theme of Love Actually I have used a new Ike's image called Lake Love, what a truly beautiful image, one which contains so many of the things I relate to when I think of LOVE - a quiet moment with my best friend and hubby when our two souls become one, river water which draws me into a truly calm state, I can sit by a river for ages just watching nature passing by, and woodland, oooo the smell of the woodland tickle all of my senses - yep this image shouted love to me big time.

Keeping the nature feel of the card I used hessian (burlap) to cover the card blank and also to mat the image, it smell wonderful lol.

Ingredients:-

• image - Lake Love by IKEsART
• colouring medium - Promarkers, Polychromos and Pan Pastels

Challenge #254 

Theme Anything Goes with

TIC TAC TOE

I do love a tic tac toe challenge so really enjoyed myself with this one :)

I used the image 'Little Miss Weeble' by Stitchy Stamps and coloured her with Promarkers.  Next I fussy cut her as I really wanted her to pop on my card.
Now for the line on the Tic Tac Toe grid which I have followed - Three or More Layers, Lots of Blue and Pearls.  My card has a total of 7 layers.  The card blank and large purple circle were embossed with a Tim Holtz texture embossing folder.  The bottom blue layer was stamped with and oriental design and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  To this layer I added my next layer of a Tattered Lace die - Border 2.  The blue circle mount used the die - Triple Tear by Spellbinders and added some large flat backed pearl and my fussy cut image.  Finally, using Spellbinders Circles and gold heat embossing I made my sentiment and added a small gold bow.

Challenge 55
What's the Weather

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

Now I rather liked this image Ike has just drawn and so perfect for this challenge but I had to and find out what this Ground Hog thing is all about as it is somewhat new to me.  I guess living in Saudi we pretty much know what the weather will be, Summer all year long although we do have a sort of winter when the winds pick up and the temperatures drop and then in the Summer it is rather like an over lol but a true winter as I know we have in the UK, well I have not seen one of those for a wee while now and don't really have any desire to see on in the near future.  I guess I am a sunshine lover through and through :)  I know the digi image has snowflakes but the nearest we get to the wet stuff is a wee bit of rain so I am going to pretend the snowflakes are big drops of water sparkling in the sun hahaha.

Ingredients:-

• image - Ground Hog by IKEsART
• colouring medium - Polychromos, Promarkers and Pan Pastels
• dies - Spellbinders Victorian Medllion 3

Challenge #253 

Theme Anything Goes with

Not Square or Rectangle 

Oh Blogger - why play up today.  I have just come by to check my post I wrote a couple of days ago to make sure it published only to find it has totally vanished off my blog posts grrrrrrr.  Sorry this a quickie now but need to get to bed hahaha.

For my creation I used Call of the Wild by Reeces Scrap Pieces, a fab set with both a pre coloured image and another for you to colour yourself.

I made the paper bead using the same paper used for the background by cutting a very long triangle piece and starting to wind using a quilling tool from the wide end of the triangle.

 The sentiment was cut with a Tattered Lace die and attached with a metal spiral paper clip.

Ingredients:-

• Image - Call of the Wild by Reeces Scrap Pieces
• Dies - Tattered Lace sentiment, Spellbinders Circles, and Diamondessence
• From my Stash - Stickles, spiral paperclip, metal brads

To finish off I used white Liquid Pearls on the flower centres.
