Christmas card - Snowflakes

Good Morning!

I am back with another Christmas card, a few more to go :-)

This card is inpired by One of Kristina Werner's Holiday card series 2014.

For this card I colored the stamped image with Chameleon pens & later masked her to create the distress ink background. The snowflakes were cut with the Silhouette Cameo.

Hello Friends!

Many thanks for stopping by today.

Another Christmas card to share. I loved the sentiment in this stamp set (Varnas Creation) & wanted it to be the focal point. This was stamped on vellum & heat embossed in gold & silver. Totally loved the result. The background too in vellum!

Christmas - Snowflakes

A Merry Christmas to all my crafty friends!

I used the stamp from LET IT SNOW set, colored the image with Chameleon pens & fussy cut her. The snowflake background was done by repeated stamping with Color box Q (misty meadow) chalk ink to get an ombre effect & the sentiment is heat embossed.

Merry Christmas!

Hello & Welcome back!

I started this Christmas  card on a beautiful glitter white card stock. 

Stamped the baubles on white CS, heat embossed (LSG Candy cane red gold) & fussy cut. To add dimension adhered these to the base with foam dots. The faux strings are hand drawn in silver. 

I wish you could see the actual color of these baubles in real!

Fridge Magnet - Dream

Hello friends!

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend as much as I am!

Sharing a fridge magnet that resulted from a gessoed 4x4 canvas lying on my table for sometime.

For the background I grabbed my fav colors of gelatos from the same color family  & scribbled over the canvas. Next I got messy with my fingers to blend the colors. 

The dream catcher is a silhouette cut.  Added 'dream' (from a collage sheet) in the center & overlaid it with a glass cabochon for dimension. For shimmer I used the Wink of Stella clear over the dream catcher. Finally sealed the canvas with mod podge.

Book Box

Hi Everyone!

My love for pattern paper is never ending & I had the DCWV - The Timeless Type paper pack in my stash for a long time. This pack is perfect for a masculine vintage project for some like me who is not comfortable with masculine themes. 

Here is a MDF book box decoupaged using these papers. 

On the spine of this faux book I have added some 'script' texture with embossing paste.

A very good afternoon crafty folks & thank you all for visiting my blogposts!

Here's a look at the card I have today - 

I am a coffee lover & the Prima Coffee Break pack is by far my favorite paper pack. The Your Next Stamp  - Sprinkles tea & Coffee set is what I used for this thank you card. Stamped the image, colored with Creatcolor pencils, fussy cut it & glued it on the CS with foam dots to add some dimension.

Tea Chest/Box - Decoupage

Hello & welcome to my blog today!

Over the last few weeks I decoupaged loads of MDF items & will be sharing these here.

Today its my favorite TEA CHEST. The Graphic 45 "Botanical Tea" papers were just apt to transform a blank tea chest.

I first unscrewed all the hardware on the box & gave it a generous coat of  Prima chalkboard paint (sea breeze). Used Mod Podge matt to decoupage the selected designs on the box.
