An Autumn Wave
I stamped the gorgeous Aloysius and then drew him an arm as he wanted to wave at you. I gave him some colour, and then fussy cut him.I was very careful not to nip him.
To make a small exploding canvas, I painted the inside back of the box canvas, I used Indigoblu paints in Hot Cocoa and Leather Corset and I also added some Penny dreadful luscious to give an Autumn gleam.
I Used Warm Tan To paint the front of the canvas and when the paint was still wet
I crumpled up some copy paper and pressed it onto the paint.It left lovely texture from the creases.
I cut the middle section of the canvas into four diagonally.
I then created a background for Aloysious using the same texture technique as before.I repeated this process again on another sheet of card to create my leaves from.
I die cut numerous leaves from the painted card and after crumpling them up, I added flitterglu and Chocolate Box megaflakes to make them truly shine.
Aloysius made himself comfortable on the background card, and I added some leaves around him.
Next I adhered each of the four flaps to the front of the frame and proceeded to decorate the frame with lots of leaves, small pine cones, and twigs.
I adhered the background to the back of the frame.
A sentiment or message could be stamped onto card and then cut out and added onto the canvas. If you do not have leaf dies or punches you could draw and then cut out the leaves.
Take a peek at the Indigoblu blog to discover what the rest of the wonderful Indigoblu team have created.

Nemesis
I started by browsing images of Nemesis, and then drew a very rough sketch.I used Watercolours to add some quick colour, and added megaflakes to the sword and scales of justice.

Dandelion Wishes
I am delighted and honoured to have been invited as a guest designer at A Vintage Journey.This month Amanda has chosen Watercolour as her theme.Which is of course my favourite colouring medium, it is very versatile and easy to use.Why not give it a try and join their challenge this month.
I created a background with my watercolours and stamped this gorgeous girl blowing a dandelion stamp by Crafty Individuals. I always love to use elements from nature with my projects, so I found some pressed gypsophlia to use for the blowing away dandelion seeds. I am always finding forgotten pressed flowers in between the pages of thick books, where I have pressed them many months or probably even years before!
I wrapped some threads around the base of the card and tucked some more gypsophlia between them.
I finished the card by edging it with black ink, and adhering the picture onto a scalloped edged card.
May all your wishes come true xxx
