Magnetic Chopping Board

Hi Friends!

I am here with my second post for Stamplorations. You can check the first post post here & the challenge details here. The sketch for March is this - 

Stamps & Textures is the theme this month.

For my project I altered a mini chopping board into a magnetic one! 

My project started with a black base coat on the MDF surface. Wanted to add lots of textures here, so gave a coat of crackle medium followed by chalkboard paint. Loved the resulting cracks!

 Keeping in mind the theme stamps, I used the Big on Words - Mom digi that Shery sent me as a focal point here. 

I then glued a magnetic sheet to the prepared surface & selected a pattern paper with wood pattern for some more textures. The large magnetic rhinestones can hold those little to do notes or reminders. Perfect for the kitchen!

These teapot & spoon charms dangling over a mini handle & blooms were perfect coordinates for the magnetic board!

Guest Designer @Stamplorations

Hi friends!

Sharing a tag I made as Guest Designer for Stamplorations. This card was selected a top pick at the January Challenge. Stamplorations has an amazing collection of stamps & stencils.

This month the theme is - 

And this is the sketch. 

You can use either the theme or the sketch for the challenge. For further  details please visit the post here. 

This is the tag I made -

For the background I used gelatos & randomly stenciled whipped spackle for some texture & added holograhic embossing powder over this for some shimmer. The highlight of the tag is a bold stamped sentiment. However, after coloring (with peerless watercolors) the beautiful digi that Shery sent me I decided to mute the stamped sentiment. So I tore a piece of vellum & glued it over this. Made some score lines on the vellum & added color to the distressed edge for added texture.

Here are some close ups of the tag - 

Do you notice the holographic shimmer here!

Hello friends.........time to share the inspiration for Craft Your Passion#256.

A simple card using the image by the sponsors Lacy Sunshine!

http://lacysunshine.weebly.com/

 I chose Eleanor & pickles love bugs & colored them with my new Chameleon pens (I love these pens!). I loved the coordination of the digi & pattern papers here. Subtle shimmer over the large heart & the die cut sentiment & some bordering with liquid pearls completed my card.

Craft Your Passion#250

Today's card is the DT card I made for Craft Your Passion#250. Inspiration for the background of this card came from my daughter's altered planner cover. She covered the kraft colored cover in chalkboard paint (I have used black cardstock) & splatter it with nail paint in various colors! here is her planner.........she has heat embossed the sentiment.

When I selected this digi by the sponsors Bugaboo Stamps - Circle Sentiment -You rock, The sentiment is colored with Cretacolor pencils, I knew I wanted to make a trendy card which both my girls will like! So here it.......
