A little late posting as January has my immune system doing a little jumpstart of its own, as all the lovely bugs going round are giving me a great workout!</span><br />
<a href="https://adogslife-thirteen.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Tina Walker'</a>s Art Recipe Jar had me a little perplexed at first, as I wanted to put all my energy into creating not cataloging. I think it's a great idea and I will make one, eventually when I get some time. In the meantime I used her picks excluding the pan pastels as I don't have any.<br />
This was so much fun and a great way to get out of a rut. I loved the nature element and I wonder what other exciting things you could put in your jar.</div>

New Year, New Creations and with that in mind I decided to take part in <a href="https://nathaliesstudio.com/read/blog/" target="_blank">Nathalie Kalbach</a>'s Creative JumpStart! After watching an inspiring video of <a href="https://www.mystele.com/blog/" target="_blank">Mystele Kirkeeng</a> at play I gathered my supplies and gave it a go.

I've been playing along with <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker for the 30 Day Colouring Challenge</a> and wanted to put some of my pieces together on a card. This is one of my favourite types of card. I love pop-ups, how they change from the flat 2D envelope form to their glorious 3D box shape. I've watercoloured all the stamps, shapes and diecuts with distress markers and heat embossed Elodie and the number two in gold. Acetate strips anchor all the elements in place and provide a little movement to the card.</div>

Decided to change my colour palette to warmer tones and to try for a cosmic magical background. This background started life like the last two, but I remembered to use my blender tool with the paint and stencils this time!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Local Craft Clubs are a great way to give yourself the time, opportunity and encouragement to get crafty. One of the girls was in a Dylusions mood, so I tried to put into practice what I had learned from <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Dyan Reaveley</a>. However as our time was nearly up and the raffle was ongoing I rushed it a bit. Making the best of it, I decided my arrows were meant to be in the foreground and the thicker than required application of distress paint through the stencil was the desired effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started this background in the same way as <a href="https://paperlearningcurve.blogspot.ie/2017/08/dimensional-background-inking.html" target="_blank">my last project</a>, but then hand splattered some water and with a splatter brush straight from the bottle some Dylusions white linen ink. I stamped the Cat and Pigeons in jet black archival ink and watercoloured with distress crayons. In order to get truer colours, I removed some of the background ink with a waterbrush first. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I got home I finished by doodling with a white paint pen and a black ink pen and edged the card with distress crayon and distress ink. Never one to know when to stop, I felt the card needed something else so stencilled stars with hickory smoke distress ink.</div>

Another fun inky time was had, but I did have some cleaning up to do. Thankfully the inks and paints were all water based so a quick wipe and the club didn't lose their damage deposit!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Inking! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a little sabbatical from the blog I'm hoping to jump back in. While I was absent I was immersing myself in all thing <a href="http://timholtz.com/blog/" target="_blank">Tim Holtz</a> and <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Dyan Reaveley</a>. So I thought I would start off with some layered mixed media backgrounds. Once I started it was difficult to know when to stop layering- its such messy fun! I took Dyan's advice and had extra card available to soak up the extra ink. I now have a few backgrounds already started for another project. Time efficient and a great idea.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's how I went about it:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I chose some cool coloured spray inks and liberally covered the cardstock, mopped up the excess ink with kitchen roll and an extra piece of card. Some stencilling and ghosting with water then stencilling with distress paint. this is now at about 5 layers. The paint dried quickly enough and I could move on to the next step.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I embossed a piece of the background with my favourite Tim Holtz embossing folder (well one of my many favourites!) and then trimmed it to size.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next I used distress crayons to highlight the lovely embossed texture, but I couldn't stop there and added crackle medium on top. This also acted as a glue for the diecut happy birthday.After leaving it overnight to dry I used a white picket fence distress crayon to emphasise the cracked surface.</div>

For the little robot I created an alcohol ink background and heat embossed the Lawn Fawn stamp with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. A white linen Dylusions spray splattered kraft card base adds the finishing detail.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This card came together quite quickly and I was happy to leave the crackle medium to dry over time as I love the result which is subtly different to other crackling products. Cleaning up the excess ink with extra cardstock also means you get more pieces to play with at a later date. I've used a simple diecut sentiment and the little robot for a masculine industrial feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Any queries let me know. Hope you can find some time to play too.</div>

After a little break from blogging to move house and all that entails, I finally got the chance to get inky. Hopefully this is just the first of many sessions! So much fun and lots to catch up on!<br />
<br />
Hope you've had a chance to get inky too!<br />

Some geometric fun with Lawn Fawn Chevrons and archival ink. I love this colour combo Chartreuse, Teal and Brown with complimenting geometric sequins from Neat & Tangled. This card takes lots of inspiration from <a href="http://sevenhillscrafts.blogspot.ie/p/blog-page.html" target="_blank">Seven Hills Crafts Challenge Photo</a>.</div>

I love this panda from Mama Elephant and just had to use him to play along with <a href="http://canyoucaseit.com/?p=3313" target="_blank">Can You Case It Colour Challenge</a>. The black and the yellow are obvious, the grey is the panda shading and hopefully the rosy cheeks are allowed. A little watercolouring with distress crayons for the <a href="http://casology.blogspot.ie/2016/08/week-209-watercolor.html" target="_blank">CASology cue card</a> and who doesn't love to celebrate with <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=6093" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a>!</div>

I've been busy this month playing along on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/graoneill/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> with <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/" target="_blank">Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker for the 30 Day Colouring Challenge</a>. Thought it was time I blogged one of the cards as it is Day 26 already and I'll hopefully get time to do a review of the finished pieces at some stage. This is my first time trying no line colouring, though I think the rabbit has changed shape a little bit! </div>

I've used the <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.ie/2016/07/case-this-sketch-183.html" target="_blank">CAS(E) this sketch #183</a> and my background is all about colour for <a href="http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ie/2016/06/virginias-view-challenge-22-summer.html" target="_blank">Virginia's View Challenge #22</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Archival resist technique on glossy paper for Week 4 of the Summer of Creative Chemistry. Having lots of fun with this one and it's my first time using glossy paper. The background is stamped with archival ink and coloured with distress inks. The main image is stamped with Jet Black archival ink and I've used the mini ink blender to stamp distress ink over the blocks for a touch of colour. If you look closely you can even see some faux second generation stamping around the top edge.<br />

Don't look too closely or you'll see my fingerprints, where my heat gun missed a tiny bit of the ink and I promptly put my finger there. Advisory: make sure you fully heat set!</div>

I love these old patterned papers from Lawn Fawn and had scraps left over from an old project, so here they are with a new lease of life. All they needed was some distress inking around the edges and some faux stitching. </div>

Distress inking the lily pad has created great texture and colour with distress stickles adding to the lily's sparkle and the ink colours the stickles.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Summer of Creative Chemistry and Perfect Splatter Distress Technique - oh so much fun! I made two backgrounds at once so no ink or perfect pearls were wasted. Initially I wasn't too sure about them but when I came back to them the next day I was thrilled with them. I love the shimmer.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The background made me think of sky and baby girls, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn stork and set to stamping and watercolouring. I raised parts of the images up with foam tape for dimension and used <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.ie/2016/06/retrosketches-219.html" target="_blank">Retrosketches</a> for the layout. <br />

Week 3 of Summer of Creative Chemistry and time for Perfect Distress! I love this shiny stamping technique. I wanted the distress ink to wick and colour the teddy in, so I didn't dry those bits immediately. Here's a close up of the perfect pearls just after application.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Week 2 and stamping with stains. I started out using the marbled stains technique to create the background, layering up the colours until I achieved something I thought would work. This technique has been on my to do list since I first watched the video, but I've just been brave enough to give it a go! Why did I wait?! It's so much fun!</div>

I decided to take up the Creative Chemistry Challenge this summer. I've used the 2015 colours for this blended spritz and flick background. In order to let the background take centre stage, I've kept it very CAS with some simple stamping and negative diecutting. </div>

This anniversary card has a masculine recipient in mind, but I'd love to get it too! Adding the darker distress ink around the panel intensify the colours and highlight the stitched border.<br />

Some textured monochrome fun for a music loving couple. Lots of textures from linen cardstock, distressed edges, canvas panel, lace, ribbon, rough gems, glossy accents and clay stamped hearts. I've used the sketch from <a href="http://sevenhillscrafts.blogspot.ie/p/blog-page.html" target="_blank">Seven Hills Crafts monthly challenge</a> for the layout of the card with a few extra layers.</div>

I love all the different textures, layers, inking and misting. The monochrome palette from cream through brown to gold emphasis the different surfaces: matte, glossy, sparkly! I chosen November's Texture Challenge #18 to wish the <a href="http://mixedmediamc.blogspot.ie/2016/06/mixed-media-monthly-25-2nd-year.html" target="_blank">Mixed Media Challenge a Happy 2nd Anniversary</a>!</div>

A fun colour spectrum birthday card inspired by the <a href="http://fusioncardchallenge.blogspot.ie/2016/04/fusion-april-showers.html" target="_blank">Fusion Card Challenge</a>. I've used the picture for my rainbow colours and the sketch has been stretched a little! I've coloured the images and background strips with promarkers.</div>

More mixed media fun! I love building up these mini card canvases and I love using the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/graoneill/" target="_blank">elements I've coloured</a> for <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/2016/02/day-1-shading-w-distress-ink/" target="_blank">The Daily Marker's 30 Day Colouring Challenge</a>. This just brings a smile to my face, the fun of making it and all the sparkle and glitter.</div>

I started out by stencilling embossing paste, letting it dry, adding lace and thread then letting it dry. Then lots of spraying, sticking, stamping and letting it dry. I also added some distress ink to the edges of my diecuts and the card background. All the waiting to dry fits perfectly into family life as I'm usually called away from my crafting to my main taxiing duties!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've just started my mixed media journey and I've wanted to begin the year creating more mixed media pieces. To help with this goal I want to get my creativity moving by entering more challenges. I've enjoyed all the inspiration from the <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">The Mixed Media Place Creative Gym</a> and so I decided to jump in and take the challenge. At this time of year, new beginnings brought to mind new love and valentines. This is also perfect for <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge</a> Love is in the Air + Red.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of diecuts, stencilling and a distressed strip form the background texture for the card. The heart is the result of months of work! Most of it trying to find the special type of clay I wanted- super light, air drying and a little flexible. It was very quick to make the actual embellishment (cutting and stamping) and it dried overnight. Now for even more fun with lots of spraying.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next I added embossing powder, gold and rust mica powder, crackle accents, stamping, spray droplets and a heart cut from the packaging I saved from some flowers someone special gave me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally I felt ready to add my special heart embellishment plus some microbeads, Stickles and distress glitter.</div>

My mixed media madness continues with a special mermaid underworld scene for a very special 21 year old who's Disney mad. This was a labour of love and I enjoyed every minute. Wonderful for me, but for you it means I've taken lots of pictures and this post will challenge your broadband!<br />

I started with embossing paste and stencils, a coat of gesso and then by sticking all my bits and bobs in place, then covered it all with black gesso. This was very nerve racking for me, but after attending a fabulous <a href="http://tworzysko.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Finnabair</a> class last year I knew I want to try it.<br />

<br />
Now to add back in some colour with mica powders in sprays and gels. This was a lot of fun and I may have got a little carried away as there was some seepage through all the layers of card. This wasn't a problem as I covered the back with patterned paper.<br />

<br />
I then prepared the central panel. I wanted a sunken treasure feel, so I diecut a frame several times, coated it in black gesso and distressed it with gold mica powder, perfect pearls, mica flakes and glitter. Ariel [EK Success stamp] is coloured with promarkers, covered with stickles, crackle accents, wink of stella.<br />

Mixed media background fun! This is a quick way to let your creativity roam. I started by gessoing my card to create a surface for stencilling and spraying. Then my inner child was activated as I emptied all my bits & bobs on to the table, spread them out and looked for just the right pieces for my card. After gluing, layering and drying I used pearlescent embossing paste through Finnabair's Harlequin stencil. When everything was dry, I added some white gesso to mute some of the elements original colour and some clear gesso where I wanted to keep it, then more drying time! Now to the spraying, two blues and a pink and then the glitter and micro beads. I found a relatively flat and clear place to stamp Happy Birthday in Stazon and added my doll.</div>
