Sending a Smile as a Guest Designer for Crealies

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

I was very pleased to be invited as a Guest Designer for Crealies, from the Netherlands.  They produce beautiful dies and clear stamps, I have many in my stash. 

The actual design has more purple which always seem difficult to capture in photographs. 


The larger background was created using blue and purple Dylusions Inks along with a little Brusho powders sprinkled and then spritzed with water.

The smaller background was created using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink on an acrylic sheet and spritzed with water.  Next I stamped Bits & Pieces no. 11 Sparkle with Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink.  I'm loving the new Distress colours :)

The sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque's Amazing Birthday set



The flowers - Set of 3 no. 3, were sponged with Blueprint Sketch or Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.  I stamped over top with the Bits and Pieces no. 9 Grunge dots.    I used a sponge mat and stylus to add dimension to the flowers and glued them together.   I added purple glitter glue to the centers and added a few swirls from Creative Shapes no. 2.

Thank you Annelies for the opportunity and Wilma for your assistance :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
Shirley

Another stunning creation Shirley, well done on the GDT spot. I've never mixed brushos with dylusions but seems I need to give it a go as tour background looks great.

Not sure why but I haven't been getting mail about when you have posted Shirley. Have added you again to the mailing list so hopefully all will be well. Popped in on the off chance after your lovely comments on my blog. Thanks sweets. Glad I did because I have just been gazing and sighing at all I have missed. Beautiful pieces of artwork every single one.

Congrats on your GDT spot and another wonderful art piece. Going to have a try at the Brushos and Dylusion inks sounds and looks great to me.

Warm crafty hugs from Shirl x x x

Lovely work, Shirley, with your amazing 3D flowers.
I wonder if you have all the Distress colours, as every time I look I can't decide on any as they are all so luscious, and this years additions get better and better.
