DREAM Banner

Hello Friends!

My DT project for Bob N Betty this time is a "DREAM" banner which originated in a quote I once read  'IMAGINATION is the soil that brings DREAMS to life'. When I received the DT kit I was awestruck with these Made in India papers, absolutely enticing! 

For making this banner I used die cut pennants for the base. I glued together 4 card stock die cuts for each pennant to make the base sturdy. 

I selected papers from the Floral Logs collection & trimmed them to size to layer over the die cuts. These designs are have so much of layering & textures in the patterns, so I wanted minimal embellishments!

I colored the Prima DREAM letter resins with black soot distress ink with a dash of gold acrylic paint. To coordinate the pennants & also the Tim Holtz word bands, colored them similarly.

Once I had the letters D R E A M placed on the pennants, I embellished them & look at the magic created using these papers! Fantabulous!

The metal word bands have some inspiring words which were just perfect to for the theme I had in mind - Imagination & dream! 

I wanted these to standout clearly on the banner, so added these to square die cuts to the base of the banner.

The glass beads & tassels were just perfect to complete the banner.

The Ornate Annie collection has some sheets with tags, envelopes, frames, etc which can be easily fussy cut & I thought it would be perfect to add some interest & provide a good contrast  for the resin letters.

Art Journal page with Gelatos

Hello Friends!

Its not a card today but an art journal page that I'm sharing today. The current mixed media & art journal trend is catching up on me too & I went crazy with my gelatos & inks to make this very vibrant page!

I tried the baby wipe technique with gelatos, the one I used to make the bookmarks I shared a while ago. I also have a tutorial for this on the Lulupu blog here. 

Had a lot of fun stamping & stenciling on this page to create layers & textures!

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!

So sweet of you

Welcome here again!

Sharing a card  with my first attempt at the die cut inlay technique. 

I have used the whimsy circle die from MB for this. This is a very intricate die & so I used a piece of colored vellum behind the inlaid die cut to add some visual interest. The sentiment (PTI signature greetings) was heat embossed with white EP on the vellum. Tied this to the heart shaped wooden button using silver string. Some faux stitching along the edges resulted in this elegant card.
