Pirate Charlotte

Good evening have you had a good Bank Holiday!.
The sun has been shining here and has been really very nice. I wonder how long it will last.

Well I am here with a card I made purely because I wanted to colour the image as soon as i saw it.

The image is Charlotte from The Pirate Series at Stamps By Julia. There are 3 in the set which you can buy as a set with a saving or they are available separately 

All available from the shop HERE 

Well hope you like I so enjoyed colouring her up with my Promarkers.

  

close up of the image

I kept this fairly simple as i wanted to show the image off. Distressed the edges of the paper and card. The sky was done with my Memento Danube Bue ink.

The Dp is actually from a Christmas pad First Edition Silent night has a marple effect so I used a Stamp onto it in Brown ink from Personal Impressions. Added some Cheese Cloth

Green Braid, Parcel twine, Pearls, gems, shop and key charm and a wooden skull and cross bones.

The braid on the hat and also the feather has some gliter gold gell pen watered down to give a shimmer but not sure if it shows in either the picture.

Well thats my card and I am now thinking if I get a small frame I might even mount it.

Hope you like  you really must checkout the new images in the shop.

Also dont forget we have a fan page on facebook here and  julias page and dont forget we would love you to come and join in our challenge which is ANYTHING GOES and make of image

Now for Something Different

Good morning I dont normally post on a Monday but had this little project i have been wanting to share for a while. 

I made this with Polkadoodles Sticks and Bones Download using there coloured image.

I bought a clock chip board base and working from a local shop back around Christmas and just knew what I wanted to do with it.

Printed the image onto one of the backing papers from the collection making it flat so the hands would catch. Glued it to the base.

I then cut strips of Hessian and wrapped around the chip board ring. I used lots of glue and pressed down so it would stick the fibers as they where very raw. Made a bow with another strip and tied with some brown ribbon attaching to the from. I the assembled the clock checking that the ring didnt catch. Then glued the Top ring onto the base.

Very simple but wanted it to look rustic to go with the images.

Well if you have time no pun sorry leave me a comment and let me know if you think it needed anything else. This has since gone off to Nikky at Polkadoodles so hope it didnt.

Have a great day and take care
