Hi Splodgers Welcome to the weekend!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we have Zoe's Autumnal Owl to share with you......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Here is how she did it.....<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by die cutting some watercolour card, using a mask to create the moon.<br />
Lightly spritz with water and then swipe across using Distress stains. Using a wet paint brush faux bleach out some clouds by applying water and dab off with a tissue.<br />
Remove the moon mask and ink using distress inks, faux bleaching a few more clouds in the moon.<br />
I then used Frayed Burlap and black soot Distress Ink to create the image using the owl StenSkape.<br />
The foliage bottom right is from the fairy StenSkape before highlighting the tree and owl using Tarnished brass metallics distress stain and a few blobs of gold glitter.<br />
To finish I edged with empire gold gilding wax from Pebeo.<br />
<br />
All the stencils are available <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/">here</a><br />
<br />
We hope you inspired for the weekend - Dont forget to share with us over on FB!!!<br />
<br />
Crafty cheers for now<br />
<br />
Zoe and the Splodge DT!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good Morning Splodgers!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today Kay is sharing this stunning piece of art with us....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFfGbF64mAOiGTwmvNvnW7Q-D5zXVkwo7Vg7ONYq8o-HOT8GUInsxP76HKMYe67OHhSc4jSj3fbSeblHhoE0CDE5fn7XwyPC87MIh5oHjJFAEbR_Ezx9zzyIkTzguQ9qWkJEFMXbiTwl8/s1600/SAM_1996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFfGbF64mAOiGTwmvNvnW7Q-D5zXVkwo7Vg7ONYq8o-HOT8GUInsxP76HKMYe67OHhSc4jSj3fbSeblHhoE0CDE5fn7XwyPC87MIh5oHjJFAEbR_Ezx9zzyIkTzguQ9qWkJEFMXbiTwl8/s1600/SAM_1996.JPG" height="400" width="333" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kay cut a 5 x 7 piece of card and placed it down with a piece of cling film over it and the film was cut so that it was larger all round than the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She then covered the cling film in the area the size of the card, randomly with distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Ripe persimmon and Salty Ocean then liberally sprayed with water. Kay then crumpled the cling film slightly useing a pinching action.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step was to place the card over the inked area and wrap the excess cling film around the back of the card. the with inked side facing she moved the ink around till the paint mixed and cover all the card. this was put aside for ten minutes and then the film removed. this gave the background of the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then she placed the Splodge Away Crackle mask over the card and rubbed black soot distress ink over it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next the image and sentiment were stamped before going around the edges with Crushed Olive distress ink . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next stage was to use some mixed flitter flakes randomly around the edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally using a mini leaf mask from Splodge Away Kay went in randomly with a mixture of crushed olive and ripe persimmon distress inks to put some subtle leases on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a fabulous technique - we hope you are inspired!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all, sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of months things have been a little hectic and I have been burning the candle at both ends. <br />

In the meantime, if your interested I have started a personal blog, opening the doors to my life, the purpose is to show everyone I am a real person who loves art, music, fun and games, friends and family. Please drop by and let me know what you think.... :p<br />

spraying water and ‘rubbing’ card on to collect ink.
I did this with red, orange and yellow distress inks. I then used gold and red
cosmic shimmer powder and just brushed it over the background.</span></span></b></div>

Most of us struggle to come up with male cards but these shall definately give you inspiration :-)<br /><br />Claire Chapman has created this amazing card using 2 of the SplodgeAway Masks.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vJHCRD3SoOVIsbQvtdJjehCm0g7udCZmhqhkRh-maY3WUPB9nFywqGKY3xAYjg3O_G8VvhXQmWtZWE0lwcB3Ya2Bo8uerl_12m017qflCETome1bmu3fg7ymUU5VH_uMnHqL_HiWaE0/s1600/claire.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vJHCRD3SoOVIsbQvtdJjehCm0g7udCZmhqhkRh-maY3WUPB9nFywqGKY3xAYjg3O_G8VvhXQmWtZWE0lwcB3Ya2Bo8uerl_12m017qflCETome1bmu3fg7ymUU5VH_uMnHqL_HiWaE0/s400/claire.jpg" width="357" /></a></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span>"I used the <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/splodge-masks/complex-frame-mask">Complex Frame Mask</a> and the man from the <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/splodge-masks/altered">Altered Art Kit</a>
with acrylic paint and my gelli plate to make the background. Then I Splodged some distress ink (Broken China, Antique Linen and Tea dye) on
my SplodgeAway
Mat, misted with water and swooshed the print through the ink, the
acrylic paint acts as a resist so the ink settles where the paper is
blank. I liked it so much I decided not to use a topper, I just added
some twine, a little charm and a bow topped off with a button."<br /></span></b><span>Rae used the 'FIsh on StenSkape' to create this beautiful subtle male card.</span><b><span><br /></span></b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7s96reykn2gOgPE6B6p2FgAb5efR4m0eKR6VhsP5gLOfb730EAUIOcC15ryfgCUcr-7fAlg5P95QlsLP7EI3Qys1kLs-lQeMxPoYGB3VK_YuKc5CriiwD86bOLagW_z7fwt3axK26jD8/s1600/rae.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7s96reykn2gOgPE6B6p2FgAb5efR4m0eKR6VhsP5gLOfb730EAUIOcC15ryfgCUcr-7fAlg5P95QlsLP7EI3Qys1kLs-lQeMxPoYGB3VK_YuKc5CriiwD86bOLagW_z7fwt3axK26jD8/s400/rae.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /></span></b><span>Lovely Rae, thank you :-)<br /><br />And, last but not least our new DT member Liz has made this versatile card using the <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/splodge-masks/diamond">'Diamond Metal</a>' mask.

the images to my tag using distress ink and acrylic paint. I inked
around the edges of the tag with black soot distress and doodled a

Tom will be demonstrating new StenSkapes brand new that day and then on Friday 8th November Tom will be back on Create and Craft for a StenSkape special.<br /><br />We are haivng a catch up on the blog which is fabby as it means the blog will be crammed with various projects and lots and lots of inspiration. Today we are proud to be showcasing 2 very talented members of the team Carol and Zoe who both lead very busy lifes but always find time to produce these beautiful projects for you.<br /><br />Carol is showcasing her Autumn Project and without looking at the project week the colours just shout 'Autumn' out.....stunning...</span></span><br /><br /><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbrYCnJKrvdfitvUVwYAr7g_MVvEeKG_vqvtJziw8cb6ZyMiHFTzp7jjIftM2dG2H8ihU1Cm3Dy4lKUMkO4yGxnPvdxS5aqV833dWznFMTCiJNXri271qgyHdl39Y1zpfbAPz9BxlqCo/s400/carol.JPG" width="400" /><br /></div>

I was asked to create an Autumnal card it got me thinking and
originally this was going to be a wreath on a card, however, I was
thinking of the birds and watching them eat the Catoneaster berries and
swooping back into their nest,
so I decided to use this lovely stamp and try and recreate the picture
inside the nest a little.</span></span></b></div>

with various colours. The bird image was stamped and coloured in Prisma
colours and then the fun!!!! Grungeboard leaves were die cut and
distressed, off cuts of metal were embossed and coloured with alcohol
inks. Twine and wire and berries were added to give even more
dimension. <span>|Hope you like it !</span></span></span></b></div>

Christmas :-)<br /><br />As this week is 'Autumn' we have two amazing team members showcasing their projects..<br /><br />First of all Kathleen has used a SplodgeAway Mask and Blending Mat to create this stunning piece:</span></span></div>

background with distress inks (Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Wild
honey) and rock salt, then I applied versamark to the <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/splodge-masks/doitwithdaisiesdoublepack">Do It with Daisies 1</a> frame and popped it through my Grand Calibur. I embossed with copper
embossing powder, adding a little green here and there. Next I used the <a href="http://www.splodgeaway.com/splodge-masks/fallenleaf">Mineez Fallen Leaf mask</a> and added some leaves to the background using more
distress inks. I coloured the image with Graph'It markers and cut it
out, popping it up on 3d foam pads for some dimension"</span></span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8TfZDOf6srqPeR_6segNVeOPsvI5P8lokKsZnDCmjbB-Ph7vHPTdrEBigb4LgCVxyY2s4rSf0HZ772LQKomoR8T7c3OgB3_mHlCfNvn7jC_x_xXVQhFBUzMQ80Z2AG73aV-Jie83fh0/s1600/claire.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8TfZDOf6srqPeR_6segNVeOPsvI5P8lokKsZnDCmjbB-Ph7vHPTdrEBigb4LgCVxyY2s4rSf0HZ772LQKomoR8T7c3OgB3_mHlCfNvn7jC_x_xXVQhFBUzMQ80Z2AG73aV-Jie83fh0/s400/claire.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Thank you Claire for a great piece, love the rock salt idea!<br /><br />Please call over to <a href="http://clairescraftycreations.blogspot.co.uk/">Claire's Blog</a> for more inspiration :-)<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of the day and see you all tomorrow,<br /><br />Susan xx</span></span></div>

I hope you are all keeping warm and safe as the weather is very cold today. I am very excited this week to see the DT teams projects this week. I took Holly to our local park last week and I couldn't believe the difference in appearance from the week before. Orange and yellow leaves had fallen, children were collecting conkers and some of the trees were bare. Holly and I walked over the crunchy leaves and I thought 'Autumn has Arrived'. One of my favourite seasons as I love the colours so what better theme for the week:<br /><br />'Autumn'</span></span><br /></div>

Crafty bits came in it lol!
I used Distress paints, metallic distress stain in Pewter through the Card King Mask and
Distress inks through the Mask of Many Faces,
I'm not sure if its the colours I've used on the face or if it is in fact out of
line?
But I kind of like it, makes it look mysterious!"</b>
