Cards - Rinea foil

Hello Friends!
Today I am at the RINEA blog with these two cards.

The first one is a simple word shaker card. For the front card base I have used Glossy Ruby/Gold from the Jewels Foiled Paper Variety Pack

I love the glossy ruby foil peeking in the shaker window! Simple but an absolute classy card!

The second card is in one of my favorite white & silver combo. For this card I die cut a large butterfly in the front panel of the card base. Used  Silver/Silver Glossy Foiled Paper on the backside to cover the window. Also die cut some smaller butterflies to add some dimension. Rinea foil cuts so easily with any standard die. The sentiment is heat embossed.

I also embossed the die cut to pop the wings.

Linking this card to the folowing challenges -

Especially for You - Bleaching Technique

Good Morning! 

Sharing a card today in which I have colored the heat embossed butterfly using the bleaching technique. I also have a tutorial on this, which you can see here. I always loved the pink & kraft combo.........what do you think of the touch of gold!!!

Here is a close up of the butterfly, I achieved the shaded look by controlling the amount of bleach. The diagonal stripes on the side are hand drawn & heat embossed.

Decoupage - Set of Drawers

Good Morning!

Played around with a pattern papers & loads of embellishments to transform a plain set of drawers.

The edges of the unit were painted with acrylic paints. The pattern papers are decoupaged with mod podge.

The little frame here is a Kaisercraft embellishment colored with markers. The fussy cut pattern paper is  covered with mod podge dimensional magic to give a faux glass effect.

You can view such drawers I shared earlier on my blog here & here.

Altered Note Book Cover

Hello Friends, 

This is my project for Lulupu Challenge#49. You will find all the details for this challenge at Lulupu Challenge #49 : Feminine - Use wings & Colour Palette.

I have an altered mixed media note book cover.

Lots & lots of layers here with stamping, misting & stenciling. The images were stamped on the gessoed surface, in two colors of Archival inks - jet black & vermillion. This was followed by misting with Glimmer mists. To mute down the colors I then added another layer of watery gesso. Finally some stenciling & stamping & my cover was ready! To finish it I stamped "Special Memories" - from the Kaisercraft - All that Glitters set, mounted this on black burlap sheet. The butterfly is also from the same set.
