WOYWW - 772 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Back to the collage journal this time using my less favourite colour which is yellow but I'm trying to be brave and play with it.

The only other stuff on the desk is probably a variety of glues but mostly I tend to use Prit stick and a Ranger collage glue for this.

I try not to think too much when putting these together so I just take about three papers, cut and tear them to fit and attach. 

I do tend to arrange them differently on each grid.

I finished these collages with some paper napkins that I've had for ages, they are not real ten pound notes so please don't worry, I haven't lost my mind yet or won on the Lottery! Finally added some gold stencil paste which is lovely and shiny. 

I will probably add a sentiment at some stage when I decide what to use the grids for.

Anyway that's what I've been playing with and I quite like the finished collages even though they are yellow Lol!

So that's me done for today, nice and quick just how you like it.

However, I have been working on a new Mixed Media piece and if you would like to see details you can see it below this post here:

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and  
happy crafting,

Ali-craft blog challenge

Hi Blogettes  hope you enjoyed viewing my tag card on the Ali-Craft blog.
All the stamps used are Kaisercraft which are available from Ali-Craft.

It's time for the 2nd Challenge on the Ali-Craft blog today and we have a lovely theme this month based on 'Butterflies', I have used the Kaisercraft Vintage stamps which are available from Ali-Craft.‎

                Just a few extra views for you and hope you like them.
I started off by making a masterboard which I used for the tag backgrounds. I am a bit of a technique junky. I adore patterned paper but sometimes find it restrictive and end up making my own background papers.
About this time of the year when the weather is nice I like to go outside and spend time spraying sheets of A4 paper in various colours which I then store ready to us later. I often use Mica sprays as they give a lovely glow to the paper.

 I also keep the sheets used to cover the table I have worked on as they always end up covered with a multitude of colour.(We can't go wasting these sheets as they can prove useful).
It's difficult to throw things away but I know you will understand lol!

I used a Prima mask, available from Ali-Craft, to create the dots by applying stencil paste with a palette knife, allowed it to dry and then rubbed over this with gilding wax and stamped on the background with similar colours to the background to add texture though this is a bit more difficult to see clearly.

I stamped the back of the card itself with one of the butterfly stamps with perfect medium and embossed with clear embossing powder to create a resist.

I applied distress inks with a blending tool.

The front was also coloured in a similar way without the stamping.

The button was attached before the tag was mounted.

 I used a variety of sprayed papers to cut out sections of the stamped images and decoupaged these.
I added glaze on the butterfly, bike wheel and the clock to give more interest to the design.
The cord was wrapped around and the tags mounted. The ribbons and crystals completed the design.
I look forward to seeing your entries amd good luck.
