Exploring yellow...

Another piece for this months theme at AJJ  'the colour yellow' which has been chosen and hosted by Rike from Rike's art. 
As yellow isn't a particular favourite colour of mine its been quite interesting and inspiring seeing how others use the colour.

This week I had a little play with my watercolours trying out different colours to go with yellow and quite like this result of using a mix of quin rose/quin lilac and claret. 
I finished off with some scribbled doodling in black to outline flowers.
I then scanned my painting and had fun with a few digital alterations and overlaid them on a pale yellow background.

 

my original started like this before adding the black scribbled outlines. 

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Happy Friday - Have a great weekend.

Steampunk Clock

MDF clock (from Indigo Blu) designed using Steampunk digi kits

 from Daisy Trail printed on to tissue paper.

Tissue paper requires a little patience as its quite

 fragile but worth it I think.

Painted clock with acrylic paints.

Out of a Hat Creations #65 Transport challenge

This is for a fabulous challenge over at Out of a Hat Creations about Transport - I needed to make some male cards, so this was a great excuse to play with this theme.

On a white tent style card used spiced marmalade and walnut stain distress stains and green intense pencil around edge.  Then layered a smaller piece of blue card.

Stamped onto to some patterned paper off-cuts I found.

Used Indigoblu 'Grand Tour 1' stamps coloured with Inktense pencils.

I printed and cut out some Dieselpunk cars (like the one on my blog heading) that I had designed and made myself digitally using Serif Craft Artist software.

Added some faux stitching with  black pilot pen.

Car is just a simple decoupage - only two layers.

Used Quickie glue pen and silver foil to highlight tyres and various parts of car and also on stamped image of car and girl on bike.

Cog die cuts on silver card are made by X-cut.

Thanks for stopping by and looking - Gill x
