She Art and TioT's first challenge for 2013

Happy New Year to everyone.

                        Before I tell you all about our first challenge of the year at Try it on Tuesdays.

I would like to share with  you one of the gifts I received from my OH at  Christmas. It was this beautiful She Art figure. You can imagine how thrilled I was to open this parcel.

So for  our new Challenge at TioT's I just had to use this as my inspiration.

The theme is 'New Stash'.

We would like you to use something new that you received as a gift or something that has never been tried out before and tell us about it.

Please pop over for all the details and see what we have all been making.

Our Sponsor for January is Crafty-emblies

So here is my version of the She Art figure using  an image and papers that I bought a while ago and never got round to using. The wings were embossed with Frantage embossing powder and they realy shine.

The words that I stamped for her dress   are  Stampers Anonymous.

-A dream is a wish your heart makes .

-Its not who you are that holds you

back, its who you think you are not.

Where did she end up?

She is the focus of a canvas collage.

The background is random masks and stamps. Coloured with some of my new Distress stains that I had as a Christmas gift.

The sun was also embossed, the house made with She Art papers.

The flowers were fussy cut and then water coloured with some seed beads in the centre.

My OH made me the frame.

Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate your comments.
