Make a Card for a Child

Come and Get It Challenges this week has a Make a Card for a child challenge.  I used a digi from one of our sponsors of this challenge, All Dressed Up.  The image is called I love my teddy.   I think it is a real cute image for a baby card.

I decided to make a dresser card for this challenge,  I found the directions for the card at Addicted to Stamping.   Once I had my card cut out I added some doodling, brads and some die cuts.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

It's Your Day

I made this card for an upcoming birthday of a friend.  I sometimes have a hard time coming up with an idea for a masculine card. 

Background is paper from  my stash that I used a set of numbers stamped on it along with a stamp stitch around the edge.  I also used dies for the tag, sentiment and gears and clogs.   To make my gears and clogs I cut them out of some packaging. All the edges were distressed and then inked with Distress Ink .  The sentiment is an die cut from a old Sizzix die. To complete my card I added some metal studs, washi tape and a cord ribbon.   

Hope you have a very creative day.  Thanks for stopping by.

60's Splash

 I made this project using a tea box I had been saving in the stash and I thought it would make a good box for my findings. I used many of CS Designs images for the project. I started with the beautiful 60's Splash Art digital image from Chris' Arty Montage Digital Stamps. You can find the image here. 

This is what I started with to make my project. 

The image reminded me of 60's Art and music so I printed the image on a  music sheet and then added a circle design to the box to mimic the circles in the design that reminded me of old records. I coloured the image with my Copic Markers and Ink Intense pencils.

For the inside lid of the box I layered many of the wonderful sentiments of CS Design. These sentiments can be found at http://cs-designs.blogspot.ca/…/cs-designs-artistic-sentime…

Card for a Friend

I was looking through my stash of old unmounted stamps and found this iris stamp from years ago and decided to create a card using it. I coloured the stamp with my Copic Markers and then used a gold leaf pen to frame around the different layers that I used to make the card. I cut all of my layers with a set of card creator dies by Spellbinder. 

The background of the card was part of a Gelli plate print from my stash and the horizontal piece was made with a acrylic paint and plastic wrap technique. To complete the card I added a sentiment, ribbon and some beads that are part of an old necklace that I have recycled.  

Closer look at the techniques.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  I am off to stamp some more.

Mixed Media Card with Flowers

I made this card for a friend's birthday that is coming up soon.  The flowers I used for my card came from my stash and I believe they are from Bo Bunny.  The background and leaves are cut from a Gelli Print paper I had made using bubble wrap, acrylic paint and inks.  I used a Sizzix die for the leaves called "leaves". 

 I used Distress Ink on my doilies, fence and background for my stamped sentiment.  The butterfly is a digital image from Fitztown that I printed on Gelli Print paper. 

Hope you enjoy the card.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Queen for a Day

This week  at Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent it is a anything goes challenge.  I decided to make a shadow box out of a thrift store clock using images from CS Design's .

This is my finished  project. 

This is what I started with, I am sorry it is in pieces I forgot to take a picture before I started to take it a part. 

I four images from CS Designs collection of fabulous digital stamps.  The Dancer Pirouette, Polka and Dot Mini Border images are from the Express Yourself series.  The crown on the dancer's head is part of Edwina's crown image and the sentiment is part of a Express Yourself Postage image.   

Here is a couple of other views of the shadow box. 

I used a piece of inked torn music paper on the outside of the clock, silver cord to trim the inside of the box and added a heart to complete my shadow box.

Hope you will join us this month at Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent.
