This Thursday – Opposites Attract

Here we go again on another This Thursday challenge – this time opposites. Suddenly realised today that a pair of ATCs I made recently are ideal as an entry for this challenge …

The images are reversed mirror images and I’ve coloured them in totally opposite colours – even the green on the leaves and stems is different.

Water brush

Got myself one of these to use for my watercolouring … seems a bit wet even when I dry the tip on kitchen towel :-(

Had a few probs with water water everywhere and ended up keeping a dry brush alongside to take off the excess paint.

I coloured one of the images that Martine sent me as part of her blog candy – didn’t do a bad job overall IMHO!

What do you think?

Wild West themed project

Another CB challenge – this time a Wild West themed project. I have hummed and hawed about this one – boots came to mind but obviously did to many others :-(

Lots of card entries … then I had a good idea but wasn’t sure about using it on a card as I didn’t think it would sell (although you never know :-) )

Finally I had a brainwave this afternoon and made a set of ATCs on the idea of …..

*drumroll* tah dah!!!

Rhinestone Cowboy!!!

and here they are!

No glue!

The lovely Sequin set a challenge on the CB forum to create a project using no glue or tape :-0

Mind went a bit boggly for a bit at the thought of this but this is what I came up with:

Gift boxes

Ok – here we are – three present boxes for my friend’s present – varying in size to accommodate earrings, bracelet and necklace.

I printed my favourite print onto card and then printed a contrasting print on the back.

Cut and scored into boxes which are then tied with ribbon.

Each box has a different colour flower, co-ordinating with the main colours in the print, attached with a brad and the ribbons are colour co-ordinated to match the flower and shades of green on the print.

Here’s some pics of all three and the fronts and the backs with the ribbons plus the inside print.
