Tea Time Birthday Easel card

Hi,

My neighbor loves anything shabby chic so I made this  easel card for her birthday.
 This is my version of shabby chic.

I used the Tea Time die from Tim Holtz, added I am Roses flowers and some flat back pearls.

 

 

I created a box envelope and used a tea cup as the closure. When you pull on the sting from the tea bag the flap pulls out from inside the tea cup.

 

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Mostly green Journal Page

Hi,

This week I've been trying to get my scrap room organized but I keep getting distracted or having to take too many "breaks". Yesterday, I grouped  all my gelatos, pencils, and different mediums in small containers trying to decide how to store them efficiently and instead I wound up playing with them.
I began by creating a background with Gelatos and mists, then I used stencils and modeling paste for the leafy backdrop. I used stamps, markers and pencils to add more foliage and added mica fragments  and ultra fine glitter to add more texture.
The parrot is a Stampendous stamp that I colored with pencils, cut out and added to my page using foam adhesive. As a finishing touch I added some small butterflies.

                                                  I used a stencil and modeling paste for the
                                                  large leaf and the small ones on the branch.

this is a close up of the mica fragments and glitter.

                                    I added micro beads to create the body of the tiny butterflies.



I will be participating in Take a Challenge with Mou - July 2015. This months' challenge was to use the color green.
Thanks for watching.

Buttons and twine

 

Hello,

 

Here is a fun card I made for Father's Day. I wanted to try something new, so used things I had around the house.

 I used a stencil and some ink spray to create the background on the green mat.

I found some vintage buttons from my stash, added jute twine and glued  them  on to the mat to create  my card.

Flower bird house

This is my third post today and here is another birdhouse box.
I had so much fun with the first one that I decided to make a second.  I thought the flowers and the colors in the paper were just perfect for this project.

Bird house gift box

Hi,

My husband asked me to make a small box for a mother's day gift for his sister and I thought I would try to make a bird house. I saw a tutorial some time ago and this was the perfect opportunity to try making one.
I used 12x12 printed cardstock , my scor- pal, trims from my stash and here is the result.
Enjoy.
                                                     

                             The front has a piece if recycled plastic and inside you see the wrapped gift.

 

I used an embossing folder to add texture to the roof then sprayed some glimmer mist.

Art Journal page

Hello!

YAY..... finally another post. I'm terrible with this.

Here is a journal page I recently finished . I used Gelatos, modeling paste, inks, stencils  and my new stamps from Dylusions. The idea was to just play and use my stash.
Enjoy.

Mixed Flowers Card

Hello. This is my second post for today and I have another card.

This car was made using Mixed Flowers stamp and embossing folder set from Hero Arts and Sizzix.

I randomly  added blue, yellow and pink ink to my stamp and stamped on white card.
I glued the stamped image onto a blue mat.
Using a border punch I created a decorative strip and I added some blue ribbon and some pearls.
I stamped the sentiment and added it to the card using foam dots.
I also added tiny pearls to the centers of the embossed flowers.
The colors don't look as nice in this picture as they are in person.

 

 

I am entering this card in the Hero Arts Nature Challenge.
