Paddy Balleigh
Tent Card by GDT Nan

Nan is joining us as Guest Designer with some totally fabulous Glorious Green inspiration for you today featuring my adorable Paddy Balleigh Monster set and the lovely Clover Arch☘️
 

What joy this fabulous tent card by Nan just radiates from Paddy Balleigh to the adorable lil faces Nan added to the two clover leaves☘️
 
Nan coloured Paddy Balleigh, the Clover Leaves included in the set and the Clover Arch with Prismacolor pencils then fussy cut them all out.  The adorable little Kawaii faces were added digitally in Procreate before printing.  She then made a variation of a tent fold card from kelly green cardstock and mat layers from lime green cardstock and fun patterned paper covered in sprinkles.  She inked the edges of all the layers with Distress Ink and then decorated the tent card with all the wonderful image elements.
 
 Thanks for being our Guest Designer today Nan๐Ÿ’š

"There Are No Ordinary Cats" - Carved Skelly Cat mixed media journal page by GDT Susan R!

☘️ Happy March Creative Friends ☘️
 
"There Are No Ordinary Cats"
Carved Skelly Cat j-page
by GDT Susan R
 
Susan is joining us today as Guest Designer with her PURRtastic Carved Skelly Cat mixed media journal page๐Ÿ˜ป
 
 
Susan said she was playing in her grey paged Strathmore journal (21 × 28 cm) with one of her all time favourites, Carved Skelly Cat.   Susan printed Carved Skelly Cat on pale orange tissue, tore it out and added it to the page with gel medium, along with some pieces of book paper.  To the background she added acrylics in blues and greens followed by white through a stencil, then black and grey through another.   Next she stamped a script stamp in black archival and circles in white paint.  She then coloured Carved Skelly Cat with Gelatos plus water as a sort of watercolour effect, adding Stabilo all around the edges.   Susan then painted a border in black paint and then added the sentiment in black and white Poscas.
 
 
 Totally wicked Carved Skelly Cat j-page Susan, kitties are most definitely never ordinary, thanks for being our Guest Designer today!  
 

 
Come join this month's creativities and play in our March Challenge - GLORIOUS GREEN
