Create with Metal

I’m really happy to be able to post The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge on time. The challenge is always Anything goes but if you do the Twist you get double chances to win the prize and the Twist for this week is all about Tin Foil/Metals, add some to your card or do a project.  I do want to share with you the the past cards I have made but had no time to put them on my blog.  I love working with metals and foils there are all kinds. I do have many of the tools, they help you make all kinds of different textures and that make working with the metals a lot easier.

Our awesome sponsors this month are:

Stitchy Bear Design

and Paper Temptress

I started a journal a long time ago. None of the pages are finish. I still want to add different embellishments. You can follow any kind of patterns, used stencils and stamps. One important thing is after you have finished your project you need to add a filler paste to the back of the metal piece you made. Like the butterfly is puffy (not sure if that is the right word) you need to fill in all areas so the metal will not flatten.

The class was done by the artist name Magdalena Muldoon and she has an awesome book out called Metal Embossing workshop. If this is something you would like to look into here are the ISBN-13:978-1-4027-2444-2 and there is another number ISBM-10: 1-4027-2444-6. The publishing company is Sterling.

I started to add some colors to the foils. My copic markers work perfect for adding colors on the different metals.

Here are a couple videos first one is working with Tin Foil

This one is adding colors, but I used my copic.

This one below I worked on when I was in Austin,Texas. My SIL Georgianna has all the tools and metals. Several years ago Georgianna and myself took an  8 hour day classes for 2 day. The cowboy boot is a stamp and so is the horse. Used the tools to make all the other textures. I did not do so good on the words Texas Hugs.

So happy to be home and posting to my blog. I have missed everyone. Little about Georgianna, she is doing much better. She was in a wheel chair when I went down and with working with her she is now in a motor chair and can get around the house much better, still can’t get in the kitchen. She has therapy 2 times a week and she is really pushing herself. Her core of her body is getting stronger and they are working on leg movement. My brother Bill has gotten a lot of things done so he has more time to be with her. I stayed longer then I had planed but I had to stay as long as they needed me. Thanks so much for stopping by and be thankful for every step you take.

Celebrate

Hello everyone, I finally have a card to share with you. The card is for 2 challenges, the first one is for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the twist for this week is anything goes. If you would like to join us you can use any image with any theme. It is all up to you. Our wonderful Sponsors for the month of April are:

Nicecrane designs and

Paper Temptress
Over at Color Me Creative challenge #91 for this week we are having a Birthday theme. Our sponsor for the challenge is MarkerPop.  My image is called Summer Swing and is one that MarkerPop has.

The papers I used are all from my scraps. The ribbon on the right side is also from the scraps.

Another side view from my card.

I used a Cut and Fold template from American Traditional Designs. The butterflies are from McGill punch. I added some Cloud 9 rain drops to the center of some of the folds.

My flowers are a Spellbinders die from Heartfelt Creations called Posy Patch. The greens are from a MS punch called Branch. I added some pearl pen gold color to the center of the flowers.

The inside I used MS border punch on 2 sides. I found these sentiments I had and they are made of material and thought they worked well.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image. All the tiny jewels you see are from Nail Art kits, they where so cheep when we stopped at one of the stores here in Austin.

This has been a sad week for myself and many of my blogging friends, Linda Palmer was a dear friend that passed away on April 22 and she will be deeply missed by everyone. If you new Linda her family has set up an Memorial in her honor, if you would like to read it here is the link. http://www.stumpff.org/sitemaker/sites/Stumpf1/obit.cgi?user=1295893Palmer#.U1mv6-7ECPk.facebook

 

Besties challenge anything goes

Pansy

Welcome everyone to my blog and the Color Me Creative Challenge #90 has started. We would love to invite you to join us, this challenge is Anything Goes and the challenge ends April 25 8:00pm.
Our sponsor for this week is from Aurora Wings Fantasy Art by Mitzi Soto-Wiuff. My images is called Girl with Pansy and you can find her here. Here is the shop if you would like to check them all out.
The card I made today, I sorry I can’t remember what it is called. I received one from a friend for my birthday so I wanted to make one and share it with you.
This how it opens on the right and on the left.

This is what the inside look like. I do have to tell you I had a hard time getting any pictures because the wind kept blowing the card down.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image. I did not add to many embellishments. Got a couple of buttons from Georgianna and used one of her MS border punches and some lace.

Here is the close up of the image. I had a really had time with the face because my E000, E00, E01 and E11 markers where giving me a hard time and I cleaned them and finally I gave up and went and to the store and now I have new ones.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

A Present for Me!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. We have started the Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the twist is to make a card with your favorite color. I want to tell you it was hard taking pictures of my card for this week. It was a cloudy day and the wind was blowing and I had a hard time keeping the card standing. So mother nature was not being very nice. At home I do not need to go out side and take my pictures. So please bear with me. Our sponsors are for the month of April.
Nicecrane designs

and Paper Temptress

The flowers and the branch I punched out, was from Martha Steward. Spellbinder die I used to cut the little girl out is called Fleur de Lis Squares.

The image I used from Nicecrane is called Little Magic Girl #4. in the set there are 6 darling all colored little girls.

The inside and the papers used (for the hole card) is from (PSX) Personal Stamp Exchange. The paper is from my sister-in-laws and I was so surprised that she had PSX paper. They have long been out of business. This paper is so beautiful. Here is the close up of this darling image.

Now for last week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday the twist was to add a butterfly to your card.

I used Stampin up stamp set called (hostess set) Fast and Fabulous. Distress ink colors disty concord, milled lavender, forest moss and bundled sage and some memento tuxedo black.

The sentiment is from The Angel Company.

The die cut used to cut the frame is from Sizzix and I sorry I can’t remember what it was called. After cutting the the layers out I used stampin up ticket corner punch on the corners. For the inside used EK Success punch called diamond flower edger.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I so sorry for not posting more. Just to let you know I really think this has been so good for Georgianna. We have been working on the cord of her body and doing lots of exercises to try and tell her muscles in her legs they will walk again some day. So do not take little things for granted because once they are gone it is so hard to get them back.

Welcome everyone it is Wednesday and it is time for me to post my card for I Brake For Stamps. I hope everyone like what I have made. This is a stamp by Chelsea La Designs and there is a whole line of these adorable stamps but mine is called Loveable Avie.

The designer paper I used is from Graphic 45 secret garden collection. Spellbinder is called romantic rectangles. Sponged around the edges with brilliance ink color Victorian violet. Added some pearl pen color lilac.

Used some purple lace that I have had.
Remember you can get a 10% discount by adding SAVE10Pat if you add this coupon to your order.
 

The sentiment I used is called Little Girl and thought it went really well with the image and I Brake For Stamps has all kinds of wonderful sentiments.

The punch for the leaves is Martha Steward leafy branch. My flowers are from some trim I had purchase a long time ago. So I cut some of the flowers off and added them to the leaves.

These are the copic markers used to color my image.

I hope you have enjoyed my card. Quiet day so far today. I hope your day is going well. Thanks so much for stopping by and always be so thankful for ever step you can take.
