Keep Calm And Carry On

Hi guys, Liz here this time with a project I've done for the theme

Use a stencil or two,

to be honest it didn't turn out as i had intended hence my title!!!, lol

So i altered it a bit and added the words, this now sits in my craft room as a reminder, what for you may ask? well

I first drew round the gorgeous Giovanna Profile stencil, then coloured it in with my copics, put it to one side on my craft desk, used more stencils, etc on my canvas, got out my spray paints and the spray went further than my so called prepared box with news paper in to take up the excess ink and sprayed a very fine spray on the image!!!!!!!!, I mean (what) I could have cried,

so the whole thing had to change from there and became a serene crafter in the midst of chaos!!!! with a few paints dots on her, well i kinda look like that sometimes too only my spray splats are bigger!! lol,

The background of the canvas is made up of  the sequin waste mask and cogs group steampunk, which I used grunge paste through, so I used three stencils in all, then I added some of the  chipboard, screws from a grab bag of screws, and  grab bag of cogs,

I used one of the Clock hands at the bottom of the Giovanna stencil too,

When dry i added some metal embellishments, flowers, Mulberry bark, dry wall tape, masking tape, frantage  from the encrusted Jewel bronze kit, all from my stash,

To finish it off I printed KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON on my computer, 

So the motto is, don't give up, carry on and as for me when i look at it, it reminds me to put my other stuff well away from my sprays!!!!! he he,

Hope I've at least made you smile,

Have fun, join us in any of the themes this month, the link is above,

Happy Crafting!!

Layers week - Fridge magnet

Hi all,

here is my make for this weeks challenge.............

Lol sorry for the wonky pic, typical of me in general really!!!!!!

I started with one of the 74mm-138mm mixed media boards and put a layer of modelling paste through the Cogs Group Mask.
Once the paste was dry I added a thin layer of Decoart Gesso followed by a layer of Cobalt Teal Decoart Media fluid acrylic.
I replaced the mask and stippled a mixture of other fluid acrylics through in patches until I was happy with the result.

Elements from the Steampunk Wings and Cogs set and the Cogs Grab Bag were painted, again in Decoart fluid acrylic, and attached as shown. The word was added as I felt it needed one lol!

I have attached a magnetic strip to the back of the board and this is now brightening up my fridge as a fridge magnet.

Anything Goes - Triple Birdhouse Desk Tidy

Hellllllooooooooooo,

Dawn here with you today for Anything Goes week here at Tando Creative. I'm sharing my take on the fab Triple Birdhouse/Desktop Storage......................

The mini flowers were coloured and cut in half and used to create a border all around the bottom of the houses. A mixture of elements from the Steampunk Wings and Cogs set, the Mini Frames set and the Cogs Grab Bag were coloured and used to create window frames - a perfect fit they were too!

Here is what I used.........

Anything Goes Steampunk

For this week's Anything Goes theme, I made a card in the Steampunk Style, but Kazzed it up a bit by steering away from the usual masculine colours:

I made the background using the ~{Cogs Group Mask}~ and Brilliance Inks for a bit of shimmer.

I've used a couple of stamped images and then painted 2 cogs from the ~{Grab Bag of Cogs}~ and used the Brilliance ink on them, then doodled on them both.

I don't think I'd like to use those wheels though, they look a bit lumpy!
