Altered Set of Drawers

Hello friends & welcome to my last post of 2014.
Today it is another altered project I made for a very dear friend, I met after 15 years!
For this decoupage chest of drawers I have used my favorite Java green papers designed by Divya. You can see some other projects using these papers here & here.


 

The edges of the drawer unit & the MDF corner were colored with a red Giotto marker. The corner is also heat embossed with clear embossing powder.


The roses are handmade (spellbinders - create a rose die).


Each drawer also has a faux knob..................the cracked glass effect is the result of clear UTEE!


Here is a side view of the box-

Altered Door Knob Hanger


Hello Friends!
In this post I am sharing an altered door knob hanger I made for my buddies & me.
When I started blogging little did I know that this creative journey would be so rewarding! Besides of course learning from fellow crafters I have also met & made some amazing friends. Last month I spent two days with Neha & Dhara, two passionate crafters. Two full days of stamping, inking, chit chat & of course craft shopping! Thank you Dhara for having us over!


I made three identical hangers for each one of us.
I started with Darice hangers & glued the vintage photo distressed pattern paper (Prima Fairy Rhyme stack). Mixed barn door DI to DecoArt texture sand paste & randomly layered it using TH burlap stencil for some texture.


These beautiful blooms are handmade (TH - tattered florals die)-


And finally here is the hanger..................finished with lots of layering, stamping & embellishments. The WRMK tag I think is perfect!

Craft Your Passion#243

Hi everyone!  I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion#243.  
This challenge theme is "Non-Traditional Christmas"
For my card I have used a cute 'Snowman frame' digi by the sponsors "Crafty Sentiments
In tune with the theme for this round, I have used blue in my card. This pattern paper with Christmas ornaments from Bo Bunny was perfect for this challenge. The background of the digi is with salty ocean DI & the fussy cut snowman is glued over the digi. I love the skewed, hand drawn look of the digi & I think the sentiment as well as the font (Stampendous - mini alphabet) just adds to it!

Creative Colors Challenge#25

Hello all!
Its time for Creative Colors Challenge#25 & I am here to share my card using the color palette -  Holiday Green + Holiday Red + Golden PLUS Embossing.



This challenge is sponsored by Robyns Fetish Digital Stamp. They have some adorable images, do check the link & I have used one such in my festive card.
Lots of layering here if you see & I absolutely love the intricate embossed die cut (Spellbinders Nestabilities - gold majestic circles) & the sparkle of the mirror sheet under.

 

The pencil colored digi is paper pieced. Love the adorable Mr.Mouse popping over the tree & the glossy accent on the nose! The MDF star on the tree is heat embossed in gold EP.

Craft Your Passion#242

Hi everyone!
I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion.  
This is challenge#242  & the theme "Christmas presents". You could use images of Christmas presents on your cards/projects or some Christmas themed gift/packaging
For my card I have used an adorable 'heart gift' digi by the sponsors "Stitchy Bear's Digital Stamps" colored with my new toy - Creatacolor pencils.
My card base is white over which I have overlaid textured red card stock & a pattern paper. Glued the fussy cut digi over the same white card stock & matted this on red card stock. I love this sentiment!



The shimmer on the heart the result of Wink of Stella & also added a cute heart button popping out of the gift!

Craft Your Passion#241

Hi everyone!  I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion.  
This challenge theme is "Baby, It's Cold Outside"
For my card I have used this beautiful winter landscape digi by the sponsors "Delicious Doodles" used Faber Castell color pencils to subtly highlight the Christmas trees, the robin & the houses. The snowy scene suddenly came to life, perfect just as I wanted!!!
My card base is red over which I have overlaid vellum which had a green Christmas print. I like the red popping in the green background. Matted the digi over the same red card stock & popped it with foam tape on the vellum base. A red shimmery bow added to the festive feel!


Also added shimmer to all the trees with my favorite Wink of Stella & some distress stickles to the baubles to finish my card. The star
