Wild life

My dream is to learn how to paint

"loose watercolorint" -style, so now and

then I try it - not getting the results I wish

and forget it until I'm trying again, LOL

But I did make some nice cards trying, 

here's one:

Well, maybe "nice" it's not the word here..

Using AALL & Create stamps and

watercolors and some ink on the edges.

The White Rabbit

I really love the Alice story, and it's always fun

to create with the characters on the book/movie.

My favs are the Hat Maker and the White Rabit,

what's yours?

I've used images in several sets from Gecko Galz

and also old clock die from Sizzix.

I double embossed the die and the gold shine

is really lovely.

Colorful girls; ATC

Today I wanted to color and took out my new IB

and Art by Marlene stamps, ordered them from Christmas

sale and I'm very happy with my "finds"

I stamped the girl using colorpowders and water,

then masked her and stamped the big flower on top.

And used H2O watercolors to color.

And made a whole bunch of these flowergirl ATC,

how pretty is that girl and love the big flower stamp also

- I think there's lots of ways to use it.

Junk Journal

Gecko Galz has a new quarterly challenge:

Junk Journals

I decided to give it a try,

I found these blank covers,

quite small ones, but thought I'd

start with a small one.

Pages are about 11cm*8cm

Most of the images and tags

and some of the papers are from 

Gecko Galz.

There is going to be lots of pictures on this post.

I tryed to take a video, but it was too big so 

I could'n down load it and collages didn't work

out eather, so lots of pitures coming:

So lots of pink bling and fun making this

challenge entry. 

Queen of the night; tag

The monthly Gothic challenge image at Gecko Galz

is fabulously scary this month.

I've colored the image a little with Copics,

then I added die cuts, but some white wax on them,

added a sentiment and ribbon, and there's the spooky tag ready.

Notebook

I bought a little (but thick) blue notebook from

Tiger and thought the cover needed something "extra" on it.

And here's my new notebook for this year.
