Dolls are Everywhere..Julie Nutting Challenge

Hi.

Julie Nutting posted a challenge on her blog...."Dolls are Everywhere" and this is my doll.

I was going to take a photo of Steffi going out for a drive and my dog simply walked into frame as I was taking the picture. I thought it was just too cute.

Here is the link to the blog http://julienuttingdesigns.blogspot.com/

Pretty in Pink frame

Welcome.



This week I was playing with the Julie Nutting doll stamps and I made this frame.
The doll was made using cold porcelain ...you can find the recipe online.
Next I covered a simple wood frame with paper and I used colored pencils to darken some of the roses and leaves on the paper. I added pearls and used craft varnish to seal everything.
Once dry I added the doll and some flowers.

 

 

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.
