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.

 

 

Vines and butterflies

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share a simple  Easter card.
I stamped the image using different colors to highlight the flowers and butterflies.
Next I embossed it using a coordinating embossing folder, I added a mat and some small rhinestones  on the corners and done.

I used  the Silhouette Vines stamp and embossing folder set from Sizzix and Hero Arts.

Cofee cup tag

Hello.

Today I have another tag.
 I started by using Gesso on the tag.  Once dry I added Cotton Candy and Green Tea Gelatos to create the background. Next I added text at random places using a stamp from my stash. I then added a coat of Gel Medium . The swirls are made with modeling paste and I added mica powders before the paste dried completely. I used a piece of canvas to make the heart and added some cheese cloth before attaching  the cup to the tag.
