Danger and delight grow on one stalk a scottish proverb ( a scottish link again) I stamped Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (as the sea is beautiful even at its mors terrifying) in gesso

Hello all

This weeks challenge at This Thursday is beaded beauties . With an amazing prize which you really must check out. Our sponser this week is Daisy Chains Beads

So here are a couple of my entries

Carnival Button shank Bracelet with beads I bought at one of our sponsor Daisy chains Bead fairs

Beads of Dew Card using beads of Diamond Glaze as beads of Dew. I think that flowers studded with natures gems are stunning . For Arty Girlz nature challenge

my quick altered beads . altered for the Created by Hand challenge. The one on the left I stamped with stazon, although you could just draw your design in permanant marker, then I used ranger alcohol inks to paint in the detail. The second one I used a high tack glue and adhered a fancy gem sticker to the front of the bead. I will use these as feature beads in future beading projects

Bye for now catch you laters

Inspire me Thursday, This Thursday, Mixed Media monday. My time to craft, Saturdays Workout Step outside your box Saturday and Skinny Saturday

I have again decided to do a one peice for multiple challenges as it always makes me experiment more
So these are the challenges my peice is for
As you may know This Thursdays challenge was Fresh, which could be fresh colours Fresh techniques, fresh colours using the word fresh etc. So I have used some Fresh stamps, the lovely colourbox queue that is part of the challenge prize and I have never made a Shadow box before ( I have done shaker boxes though)

so I have combined it with Skinny Saturdays Shadow box challenge.

Inspire me Thursdays challenge was recreate or bring to life a childs drawing so I used this as the basis of my design.

Mixed Media monday was try something new so the shadow box fits that,

My time to craft was buttons so I added a button to the design,

Saturdays workout was hand cut and everything is handcut except the circles , I can't cut circles they end up as springs LOL
and the final challenge

Step outside your box saturdays Metallics challenge I used a chain, gold ink, gold pen, copper embossed card two tone gold and green card, and a gold speckle card
So that I think is my challenge entries for today all I have to do is show you my peice



Hope you like it
