  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.

Hello Friend

Hello all my friends! It is time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge for this week it is all about SPRING. This little guy/girl is from Bugaboo and the name of the image is Bug Bug Boo Birdie.

http://www.bugaboostamps.com/

 As always the different view of the card. I used Spellbinders labels three die, the two large sizes and cut out the image. I used foam mounts to raise the center. All the papers used are from my scraps.

The left view.

 The outside sentiment is a die cut from Spellbinders inspire celebration two. The green pearls are from Basicgrey designer half pearls on the top and bottom.

Used some Washi tape on the front and on the inside where the papers met so you could not tell that they where pieced together. I think it turned out pretty good. Cut out the sentiment with the Spellbinder labels three and burnished the inside with brilliance ink color yellow. The border punch used on the bottom is from All Night Media. The sentiment is from TLC.  

 These are the copic markers I used to color the image. The background I water colored. I also used Wink of Stella pens to create the grass. Used Wiggly eyes 3mm size for the eyes. Thought it would be fun.

 Thanks so much for stopping by. I love reading you comments when you leave them. Hope you have a wonderful week end. Stop by and see all the wonderful cards the designer created.
hugs and smiles,

Pat

Kitty got a black eye, poor Kitty!

  

Happy St Patrick's day to all my followers. As you can tell poor Kitty has a black eye! Did not want that to happen but when I appliqued the diamond glaze for some reason it gave Kitty the back eye and of course that was the last thing I did to the card. The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge has started and the twist for this week is to add layers to your card.
