I plan my rough composition on paper first. I started by drawing the outlines with Derwent Inktense Blocks
Inktense blocks. I then applied layers of inktense (blocks
I think Inktense are becoming my favourite medium as I love the variety of ways you can use them. I also love being able to use them on some differemt surfaces. I love painting bags as shopping bag totes are an essential item and I love being able to have personalised one of a kind bags which take my art outside the 4 walls of houses and exhibitions!

I decided to use some cork in the layers.
I thought for a teenage boy it would be fun to use some wood stars with red beer bottle tops to add some colour.
I thought I could get away with a bit of bling to give a starry effect.
I cropped and resized the photos digitally and placed them to show the progression through the years.
The current photo was taken by his brother and I digitally merged it with some paper and overlaid the lyrics from my wish for you.
I made up the stars using layers of paper and a touch of bling to draw attention.
I couldn’t resist using the little kraft photo corners.
This is my first memory frame for a teenage boy so fingers crossed that he likes it and that he has a great birthday!

I used a Lili of the Valley digi but recoloured the shirt with promarkers and did the background and football with distress inks.
This is the base when the card is opened up.
This is the back of the card.

and thought that topping the card with stiched bunting would be perfect. So here is my card
I blended distress ink around the edges of the card. I designed my paper using Craft Artist so virtually all of the elements are digital.
My image is a Lili of the Valley die cut but I added some extra clour and coloured the background.
It is difficult to see on this photo but the orange edges around the bunting are a satin stitch effect.
I decorated the inside of the card in matching clours but added the sun and buildings element.
I love gardening (although it’s not much fun trying to do it in the rain at the moment. I especially like when you’ve done some gardening and you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea out there!
I inked the edges of the card with distress ink. I created the background paper using Craft Artist.
I used a Lili of the Valley die cut and coloured the background and tree with Distress Inks. I used a LOTV sentiment.
In keeping with the theme I added twine and a mini metal trowel I found.
Party Time Tuesdays – Flowers
I used Pro and flexmarkers to colour the digi. I highlighted using pearlescent inks. I used glossy accents on the necklace gem, centre of the flower and the lantern glass.
Last picture is at an angle to try and show the pearlescent highlights on the digi and the large flower.
