Use Your Wings

For my second project this month following our really fabulous theme of Things with Wings I made one of Tim Holtz' fabulous houses.
I used PaperArtsy paints for the background of the house and a selection of images and Ideaology to decorate it.
There's some dictionary paper on the roof that I distressed. I added a butterfly to the back to add another set of wings!
Thank you, as always, for popping by and I hope you have joined in with us this month.

A robin doesn't make Christmas

Hello crafters, Craftyfield here with this unseasonal offering...


Do you get the feeling this robin is wondering how it stumbled in this July post?

Still, the most organised crafters among us know Christmas cards are a marathon, not a sprint, and are already on the case... If you want to get ahead (Christmas card wise) come and check my blog.

Things With Wings challenge

It's Brenda here with you again today with my second sample for the fabulous Things With Wings challenge hosted by the lovely Jane.


I have used a background I made for a technique post on my blog and added a beautiful Tim Holtz butterfly and sentiment. Although it looks as though it shouldn't have taken me too long to do, it actually took me all morning to get the butterfly and substrate right and that's with the background already made - what am I like!!!! If you'd like to see all the details do mosey on over to Bumblebees and Butterflies, I'd love to see you pop in. xxx

On fairy wings

Good morning, it's Jane here with my second post for the "Things with Wings" challenge I am hosting here at Country View this month. For my first card I went with paper planes and this time I have gone to the fantasy world of fairies. I wanted some really hot summery colours so I got out my brightest distress inks to play with to make my fairy card.
If you would like to see how I made my little things with wings scene you will find a magical welcome over on my blog here. I am pleased you enjoyed seeing all my photos of things with wings on Saturday...I have some more today to share on my blog..including a peahen with her chicks at breakfast..yes seriously.
 I will be flying over visiting your blogs to see all your own lovely things with wings projects. Have fun and I look forward to seeing your makes.

Enjoy your summer days.

Bye for now,

Vintage three-drawer box with butterflies

Monika 


My goal was to make a vintage box whose sides look like old butterfly illustrations from a handbook. Tim's stamps were just perfect for my project. On my blog I will tell you what I used.
Thank you!

Over on my blog I have several ideas and photos for your inspiration.... some of them  more off the wall..but all have wings. My card today has wings.......paper plane wings 😄 I have a fly by step by step over on my blog post here.

Hello! Can you believe it's July already?! For my first project this month I altered a page in my Creative Dyary - I've put the details on my blog. I love this challenge theme as there are so many possibilities. I adore what my team mates have made as inspiration this month and I can't wait to see what you make too!

Hello everyone, I loved this months theme! So in my journal I created this pretty little thing,
All the details are on my blog. Hope to you there,
Hugs


Hello all, it´s summer! One of the most beautiful things are the twittering birds in summer. So for the "Things with wings"-challenge I made a little card with a bird. For more details you can hop to my blog.


I love this theme chosen by Jane as it provides so many options for us all both as Design Team members and you, the readers, to enter the challenge. I decided I wanted stay in a vintage mode and chose to create wings for these two lovely girls so they could play at being fairies in the garden. I've added a vintage shabby mixed media background, a few embellishments and altered the shadowbox. So if you'd like to see how this came together I'd love you to pop over to Bumblebees and Butterflies where there are instructions, new techniques and more photos.

Hello everyone, 

For this months 'Things with wings' challenge I have made this AJ page. I filmed the process too so if you want to know how I made this then hop over to my blog HERE or go straight to YouTube :


Hope you enjoy ! I will be back soon with more inspiration ! 

It's 1st July, Summer is here, so we're in my happy place. It doesn't need to be hot, but a little bit of sunshine cheers me up. Quirky birds also cheer me up (slick link eh!) so here they are
 
Oh to have legs like this! There are lots more pictures over on my blog so I hope to see you there x
 

This song (Chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep...) and I, we were both born in the early seventies. So I was just a little girl when I first heard it. It came to my mind when I was looking for an inspiration for Tim's birds and for our "Things with wings" challenge. If you want to see the tutorial of my canvas boards, please hop on my blog. Thank you!

 
Butterflies are high on my list of Winged things but I wanted my offering to be more original and out of my usual so...
 here goes the Flamin' [birds].
 
 
Please visit my blog to read all the details on how I created this scene-scape!
Keep cool and carry on crafting...
 

For our new topic this month I have chosen to create a journal page with memories of my recent holiday. I hope that you will join me on my blog.
 

This month I have been able to combine two of my favourite things - Butterflies and Tim Holtz.  Pop over to my blog to see how I created this card.

This topic can be so versatile.  I hope you join in with the challenge and look forward to seeing what you create.
