Sunshine Shopping!

Hiya,

Just popping in with a quick notebook I made using a couple of challenges...

       

I used one of the little hard-backed notebooks I picked up at a supermarket a while ago and got to work decorating the cover...


I started with a piece of Regal Rose card and layered a piece of white card that I embossed with PTI's Sunshine impression plate. I die-cut a doily with an MFT die from Daffodil Delight card then layered a Whisper White circle on top, that I stamped with PTI's Mehndi Medallion using Daffodil Delight, and sponged around the edges. I stamped the shopping lists stamps (from Layers of Colour) over the top with Melon Mambo ink. The butterflies are from Hero Arts, die-cut with the matching dies and coloured with copics. I added a few rhinestones to finish.

Thanks for stopping by!

ODBD Journal...

Hiya,

I found a challenge over at the Our Daily Bread Designs blog to use a scripture on your project and I thought it was a great opportunity to make another altered journal...


I started with a slim exercise book and covered the front and back with K&Co paper, wrapping it around the spine and also lining the inside of the cover as well. I added a decorative strip where the two papers overlap, cut using Spelbinders edgeabilities dies. The corners of all the pages and cover were rounded using a Zutter corner punch. The scripture (from one of ODBD's Scripture collections) was stamped on Very Vanilla with Chocolate Chip ink then die-cut with nestabilities and layered on a Spellbinders floral oval shape. I stamped some butterflies from a Tim Holtz set in choc chip ink and attached them around the sentiment with dimensional glue. I added some vanilla satin ribbon and a button to finish.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tissue Paper Flower...

Hi there,

I found some time to play with this week's Waltzingmouse sketch today...


I pulled out some Kaisercraft papers and WMS stsamps and came up with this:


I used the Fancy Phrases stamp set as well as the Dainty Doilies 2 set with Bravo Burgundy, Taken with Teal, So Saffron and Very Vanilla (taken from the papers). I created the tissue paper flower using Stampin Up's Blossom Party die and several layers of tissue, spritzed with So Saffron reinker (mixed with water) and some glimmer mist - I used a Kaisercraft pearl brad in the centre.

Thanks for stopping by!
