Inspiration

Hello everyone...Genny here with a little inspiration. I had bought myself a notebook to keep track of my bills and the whole thought was so depressing that I just had to decorate it. I began by covering the front of the journal with a piece of black card and stencilled red bubbles all over it.I had some chipboard letters which spelled bills and painted them red with acrylic and then glued them to the edge.I then added some red glitter rope to the left hand side. I then platted some more of the rope to make a bookmark. I attached it to the metal binding and used a red fabric skull to the bottom. I finally added this fabulous piece of artwork..the voodoo king from SLS. I coloured him with my promarkers, cut him out and glued him in place. He look exactly like I feel whenever I have to pay a bill...lol. I am also going to cover the whole front with a piece of adhesive acetate..so that it will be a wipe clean book. I hope that you all like it and will think about covering your own notebooks. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Inspiration Post

Hello everyone...Genny here with my inspiration post. For today's make, I chose to work with this fabulous image of the girl and her cat. For those of you that know me it comes as no surprise that I would choose this..I suppose I am officially a crazy cat lady..lol. As with all my inspiration posts, I like to give a little insight to why I have created what I have. Well for this one came about as I was fussing , Raven, one of my cats. I was sat there stroking her and my mind was wandering remembering past times and coming up with ideas for the future. And that was where I began. I liked the idea of ideas and dreams popping around me..so there was the background..I used a bubble stencil with my distress inks and cut out various circles to hold my thoughts. The girl and the cat seemed to be the perfect focal point.

I hope that you will pop over to the SLS Lines shop and have a browse through all the amazing designs. And don't forget that a new challenge is due to begin tomorrow..the rest of the team have created some fabulous makes..so please be sure to take a look at all those. I so love seeing all the wonderful makes that people create. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Girls on Film....

Hi Everyone!

 

Hope you are all enjoying some crafting time this week - I am lucky to be on a bit of a break from our business so I have had quite a lot of time to create!!!

 

Today I have an inspirational post for you with some of Sal's "nudes" - of course - if you know me and the SLS Lines nudes you know I love to create with them on a regular basis!

 

You can find these images in the store - some are available individually and some are part of an adult colouring book - check them out!!! Click here for a direct link to the Adult 18+ section to find all these tasteful ladies - oh and one tasteful gentleman!

 

 

I've created a mixed media double tag using 2 of the nude gals plus some cut outs from Silhouette files which were perfect for my Girls on Film theme!

 

Background is smooshed acrylic paint LOL!! I added a bit of fibre to the top of each tag and a piece of muslin on the back as well. I computer generated the wording on the board. Gals coloured with copics.

 

A bit of fun!!

 

Stay tuned for more inspiration and a new challenge starting on the 20th!! But still time to enter our current challenge!

Inspiration Post

Hi everyone...Genny here with my inspiration post. I have to say to find something from SLS that inspires me is very easy. I just love everything. As you get to know me..goodness help you..lol..you will soon come to recognise what I really love. Skulls, Owls, Cats tend to feature alot and I can get very excited about them. So when I saw this great Candy Skull, I just had to do it. I decided to keep to a very small and muted (for me) pallet..so I stuck to  shades of orange with green extras. I love to pick say 4 shades of 1 colour and just to see what it turns out like. I coloured the skull with my promarkers, cut it out and mounted it onto some black card. It is now on the wall in my parlour, alongside other skulls from SLS. I have to say it does surprise strangers to my house..but they always come round to loving what I do..I also have a collection of skulls that I have painted myself plus lots of ornaments of Skulls, including one from Transylvania. Why not take a look at all the skulls that are available from SLS.

One of the things that I love, being part of the DT is seeing all the fabulous creations that the others come up with. And of course I love seeing all your creations that you enter into the challenge. A new challenge is due to begin tomorrow..so I hope that you will all come along and join in the fun. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Inspiration Post

Hello everyone...Genny here with my inspiration post. As I said last month, my projects tend to begin with a thought. And this month was no different. As many of you know, I am a bit of a crazy cat lady and I just adore all the cat images available here at SLS. As I was looking through the images wondering what to pick, I came across this little chap..Grumpy Cat. It made me giggle because I was looking at one of my cats who is actually called Twinkle and is the most bad tempered cat you could wish to meet..so in that moment the inspiration appeared

For this project, I began by creating the background. I had a piece of grey board which I coloured with my acrylics and then dabbed over the top using my starlight paint. I coloured the cat with my promarkers and then cut him out and added him to the background. I finally added the sentiment. I also added some glossy accents to his eyes.

This whole project has made me laugh because how many times I've seen cats that just don't suit there names. And I can imagine that this featured cat would just hate being called Twinkle..lol

I hope that you will pop over to the etsy shop and take a look at all the wonderful images that are available...and perhaps you will have an inspirational thought of your own...and who knows where it will take you. So until next time...take care and happy crafting.

Judy's Inspirational post

Hi, Judy here with my April's inspirational.  

I just love this cute house image called Whimsical House and I decided to make a New Home card for a friend.  This cute image can be found in SLS Lines Esty Store here.

To make this quick card I coloured the image with Copics, PanPastels and a glitter pen. I drew some cloulds in the sky which I coloured with Acrylic paint.  To complete the card I added a stamped bunny, butterfly and a "New Digs" sentiment. 

Don't for get our current spring time challenge.  Create your project and enter it here.  There is a new challenge on the 20th of every month. 

Have a creative day.

Judy
