Aud Sentiments #95 Reminder and DT Call

Hi everyone, it's time for some more inspiration for the current challenge at Aud Sentiments. 

Our challenge this fortnight is to make a

TAG plus sentiment.

Our sponsor this fortnight is Stamp Fairy

and here is my tag.

I have coloured the image using Promarkers and the background has been done using gesso and red paint through a stencil plus a little bit of glitter! The words are from the JOFY set number 3, stamped onto an old book page and distressed with Walnut Stain.

 

I would like to enter the following challenges:-

 

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes,

 

Crafty Sentiments - Tag Along,

 

Totally Papercrafts - Anything Christmassy not a card,

 

A Creative Romance - Sparkle at Christmas,

 

One Stitch at a Time Challenge - Seeing red,

 

Joanna Sheen Challenge - Make it sparkle Christmas challenge,

 

Dream Valley Challenge - Anything But A Card.

 

 

Now, back to that DT Call!  Our current DT are finishing their term, as ever some are staying and some are moving onto pastures new.  We would like to say a huge thank you to all our DT - they have been a great bunch of creativity and have brought so much to this challenge blog!  They have certainly done our sponsors proud! 

So, if you would like to become part of our DT, just enter this challenge and add DT behind your name on your entry. 

So what are you letting yourself in for?  Well, you don't need to have been on a DT before.  You need to commit to a project every fortnight.  You also need to commit to commenting on entries -  but not all of them...we have a system!

What will you get?  Kudos for a start!  Some of our challenges have over 200 entries, so we are fairly well known in blogland.  You gain the experience of working in a DT - with a great group of creative people!!!  You will get digital images to work with from our lovely sponsors.  And you get to help pick winners. 

We are happy for non card makers to apply too - we are always open to other media because we feel it can add a new element to our challenges.  So if you scrapbook, photograph, paint...whatever, why not try out?  Its all about the creativity!

And of course, we are very informal and flexible.  We know life gets busy and is subject to twists and turns.  So we are not over-demanding or too precious!  We know you are giving us your time, energy and creativity, we also know you have lives outside blogland!

Canvas Art

 

Wow guess what I have managed to do something for me!!! I have tried some canvas art. With this one I just covered the canvas with gesso then red acrylic paint. Around the edges I added some bronze paint then some darker areas. The heart has been die cut out of a piece of fabric using an Xcut die called Homespun Heart. I then put some of the paint on this too - lovely inky fingers. I have added some Frantage glitters and Mahogany embossing powder. The flowers have been cut using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die then put brads in the middle. The butterfly is a Memory Box die called Vivienne and used this to cut out the background in a dark brown glitter card. The stamp is one from my stash that I won several years ago now. I have also used a stencil from Dylusions called Diamond of a Border and the bronze paint.

 

Here are some close ups.

 

 

I was inspired by the artist over on Paperartsy, Jo Myhill. She has done three projects so I have tried to take some ideas from them and came up with this.

 

I am therefore entering the challenge there:-

 

Paperartsy - Challenge by Jo Myhill,
