8th January 2020 Week 2

Today’s daily prompt: OCEAN

Weekly prompt: STAR

7th January 2020

Hi there,

Celia here with my ‘star’ page.
I painted the background dark blue then heat embossed some tiny stars in silver, using some stars from Lavinia Stamps. I found a nice star in my Tando mini’s and wet it so I could peel off a thin layer, then embossed this with gold when it was dry.

I found the quote in my Tim Holtz stickers book and assembled the page. The shooting star tail is just drawn on with a gold pen.

Thanks!

4th January 2020

Hi there, Celia here with today’s daily word.
I wanted to use distress oxides so I applied them with a tiny piece of wax paper, instead of dabbing the page. This seemed to work well.

I stamped a dandelion (not very well 😬) and drew in some seeds, then glued on ‘breath’ which I printed from my computer.

Our next daily prompt: BREATH

I’m having fun finding stamps in my collection that fit the prompt 😉

Snowflake book

Hi!  Karen here with my 1st little book! Sorry the pics are gloomy, it was very dark and chucking it down here yesterday!

For the cover I spread some modelling paste through the mini snowflake stencil.  I painted the whole book pale blue and then replaced the stencil to paint the snowflakes white.  Although you can't see it here I added some clear glitter to the snowflakes.  I glued the organza ribbon onto the inside before I sewed in the folders.

These were painted in the same blue and white paint was added through the stencil.  I am up to date with my prompts as you can see.....

So on to our next daily prompt 😊

For today we have COURAGE.

I am still keeping mine simple as things are generally busy here 😉

2nd January 2020

Hi, Celia here with our 2nd daily word.

I remembered I had this steampunk lace stamp so it’s a perfect time to bring it out.
I first made a purply pink background, then hand wrote the word.

then stamped with white embossing powder. I used a small brush to remove the powder around the word before heat setting it.

I’ve also done the weekly word, Curiosity. I took inspiration from Alice in Wonderland. I made a quick background with green and white chalk paints and stamped a small amount of crackle.

I’ve stamped the cat onto rice paper, as I don’t trust myself to get it right in the book! I applied this with matte medium, then stamped the word with my alphabet stamp set.

Looking forward to seeing your ‘words’!

Good morning folks.

Here is our daily prompt for the 2nd January: LACY

I have again done a very simple stamped image with a little colouring and added the hand written word.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you do 😊

1st January 2020

Hi there, and Happy New Year!

Celia here with my first pages of this exciting challenge.

I decided to use the monthly word ‘Iced’ on my first page. I used some icy blue colours and monoprinted a few bits of texture, stamped some icicles from my christmas stamps and then added some crackle with a stamp. Then some icy embossing powder round the edge. I stamped my words with a little alphabet stamp set. A bit wonky but never mind!

For my daily word, I did a sort of sunrise wash with fluid acrylics

And typed the word onto rice paper.

I wanted to keep it simple as it’s a nice simple, easy word. I used a flowery background stamp and scribbled round the edge with a crayon to finish.

It’s quite challenging to work so small, and the other pages can get in the way for stamping, but I’m sure we’ll find way’s around and have loads of fun in the coming year.

Happy NewYear to you all 😁

Welcome to our 366 challenge, here is my take on the first prompts.

Monthly prompt is ICED.  Weekly prompt is CURIOSITY.  Daily prompt is BEGINNINGS.

I have decided to decorate my first book cover in the monthly prompt of ICED. I have used some patterned papers with a couple of our Ice Skate minis to embellish.

I have made up the inner pages with the same papers and I’ll glue in the daily prompts that have been done on white cartridge paper.

For the weekly prompt I have decorated the insert piece but not attached it to a book yet.  I am going to fill out the reverse of the pages with a few words about my day. I did stamp on the end panel but then realised I would be glueing that end into my book LOL. I’ll be keeping the other end loose so the concertina can be pulled out and read.

I have dipped the cartridge paper in watered down magenta fluid acrylic, stamped the word curiosity across the papers, stamped the days of the week and then hand drew the large numbers. The numbers on the reverse are stamped. The edges are inked with grey archival.

Finally my daily prompt.  I have kept this really simple with a stamped image coloured and then I hand wrote the word.
