 Have a chance to win a $15.00 gift card to Scrapy Land. The challenge is Bi-Weekly so it ends on May 1, 2016. This was a really fun card to make. The image I used is from Phindy's Place and the image is called "Sharing". The artist name is Philomena O'Neill and has been around for a long time. Thought it would be a perfect image of a little guy discovering something new in the Spring.

Directions to make the card take a 12" by 12" scrapbook paper (kind of strong) cut it 5 1/2" across. Take your score board and score at 2" and 4" and I turned my paper and scored again at 2" and 4". The middle will measure 4". Turn your paper around and measure up 2 1/2" from the bottom and mark the paper and take a ruler, from that point draw a line up (top) to the second score line and I took my cutter and cut that part off and do the same on the other side. For the folds, the first one is up and the second one is down. Now you can add all your goodies and make it your card. Have any problems let me know and I will be happy to help. If you make one let me know and I will love to come by and check it out.

This shows you the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents die.

Instead of cutting out Cardinals I made them Blue Jays. The buttons are metal and I love the way the flowers are etched in.

Here are closer views of the Bloom one flower die. These are the left and right side. As you can see I add more glitter. The color are lime green, shamrock, yellow and true blue.

Closer view of the die cut of the sentiment.

The glitter paper for the Flutter butterfly, on the underside I colored it with Wink of Stella color Blue.

These are the colors I used for the image.

Close up of the image and some of the small butterflies.

Hello

Hello, welcome to my blog! For this week I decided to do something really simple for the challenge that is starting at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the twist for this week is to use your favorite colors and that was really hard for me because all colors are my favorite so I felt like greens and peaches. My darling image is from our wonderful sponsor PpinkydollsArt and she is called lilith.

Would love for you to join us this month. Stop by and see the other designers cards.

I did some paper piercing and all my papers are from my scraps. I seen something kind of like my card on Pinterest and really liked the design so thought I give it a try.

Here is a left side view. The hello is from a Cuttlebug die.

I used one of Gina Marie designs embossing folders you can see it from the close up picture. The size is 5 1/5" by 5 1/5 " and it works great in my Big Shot. I tried doing some paper weaving but did not want it to be straight.

Here is how the inside turned out. Tried to bring in the theme by using some of the scraps. Of course their was a mark on the white paper by the time I was done so a peach paper to the rescue, their is always something!!!

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

The close up of the image. For some reason her nose looks like I put some white one it and I really did not?????

As always thanks so much for stopping by, things are well here and I hope all is well at your place. Spring is coming but not quite here yet. Flowers are staring bloom on the side of the house.
hugs and smiles,

Pat

  Gina Marie Designs who is

giving this lovely X Stitch Rectangle to

one lucky U.S. winner this month. Gina is a small business person try to get her own business started and she has some great prices, so please check her out.

The die cut I used on my card is from Gina Marie designs it is called Leafy Frame die and here is the link where you can find it.

This is a right side view.

All papers that where used came from my scrap bin.

I tried to get a close picture so you could see how the Nuvo glitter drops looked this one is purple rain. I did get mind at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Punched out the sentiment with EK punch called Photo Labels. The sentiment is from Stampin up from one of their sets of stamps. Burnished around the edge with brilliance ink sky blue. Colored the candle with gelly roll star inks color blue, pink, red and gold.

For some of the edges I used Stampin up ticket corner punch.

The flowers are made with material and have the beads in the middle so I used V01 and BG01 and colored them with the copic inks. Found a small bow in the scraps and added it to the flowers. Used Martha Steward Branch punch for the greens around the flowers.  Found a lots branch on my table so added it to the inside.

On the inside I used the Nuvo crystal drops gloss crushed grape. I really like both of them. They hold their shape really well but still take a little awhile to dry. But you can make some up ahead of time.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Here is the close up of the darling Butterfly girl.

I hope you like my card. I love reading all the wonderful comments you leave.
hugs and smiles,
Pat

Possibility begins with imagination

Hello my friend and welcome to Scrapy Land challenge #39 and for this bi-weekly challenge ends on April 17 and the theme is everybody's favorite "Anything Goes". Here is all the normal information you need to remember for each challenge. Scrapy Land has over 40 brands of dies.  You can see them all here.   Please link your project back to this Scrapy Land Challenge Blog.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.
You have a chance to win a $15.00 gift card from Scrapy Land store.

I thought I would try doing a Mixed Media project and this is what I came up with. It is an 8" by 10" piece of canvas. The first coat is some Gesso and after that dried used some of Martha Steward multi surface acrylic craft paint. Added some Tattered Angel glimmer mists colors twilight, gold and meadow green. Perfect Pearls mists colors perfect pearl, deco art glamour dust on the flowers and in different areas of the canvas. Ranger distress crackle paint.

The frame you see in the background is from Ten Second Studios. If you click on the picture you will see the link to Ten Seconds Studios, these are different frames they makes and I got them for a fantastic price, but this is how they look in the package.

 

 For coloring the sunflowers used distress inks fossilized amber, dried marigold, wild honey and rusty hinge. I stamped the sunflowers with Fun Stamper journey true fusion black licorice ink.

These are the dies I used. Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower stamp HCPC-3626
Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower die HCD1-753

Sizzix thinlits holiday greens 658759
Sue Wilson faux quilled blooms
Elizabeth crafts designs 710-Bees

The center of the faux quilled blooms is pearl pen color gold. The paper I used for the holiday greens is all from my scraps. You will see some finding I found and added to the project. Triple thick crystal clear glaze, glass bead glitter gel and some nail art stones. I was having so much fun.

My friend Marie gave me a gift and I wanted to surprise her and add some quilled flowers to the canvas. I started to run out of time so I only made a few. She gave me this wonderful gift not for any reason just because and I need to tell her how much I love it and how wonderful it works. For any one that has problems with their hands or has arthritis and loves to quill this is for you. I have not done any quilling in years but it felt really good doing it again.

I took a picture of what I call Earth Elements Texture. This is something that I make. I do make several different mixtures that look like different textures of the earth but this one I use for centers of the flowers. It is a mixture of pencil shavings, saw dust, browns, tans glitter, shades of rust, tan and brown ink refills want to be careful on adding the dark colors. This is how mind turned out.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz and so is the lock and key.

I made some ladybugs with pearl pen red and black. If you look at the full picture you will see several. What I do is save some of my mounting paper and used that add a dot of red and black and after it is dry add some tiny black dots on the red.

I do hope I gave you so new ideas and you liked my project. Thanks so much for stopping by. If you have any questions just ask.

hugs and smiles,

Pat

I did use more of my scraps to make my card. My bin is getting pretty low and that makes me feel really good.

The trim used is from Hobby Lobby come with the ribbon going though the trim.

Here is a left view of the card. Punch out the sentiment with Stampin up scalloped 1 1/2 inch and then used the 1 3/4 inch one to give it a frame. I also gave it some shimmer by adding some Wink a Stella color clear. Burnishing around the 1 1/2 inch punch with brilliance ink color coral.

Both of the sentiments are from TLC creations, they give out free vintage images and sentiment. I thank them for that. A lot of them are really nice.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Here is a close up of the image. You can see I added glossy accents to a few areas. I do hope you like my simple card for this week. Stop by and check out the other designers cards everyone did an awesome job.

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