The Perfect Digi for my username!

Image
By sparklingblackrose



I've found a Digi stamp thats perfect for my username-Sparklingblackrose so I really enjoyed colouring this to show this off! :-)

For this project I used a digi stamp from Crafts and Me coloured with promarkers and a sakura black stardust pen, Papers and embellishments from Papermania's Jade scrapbooking kit, sparkly strips, ribbon and glitter card, My Minds Eye Polka dot black paper, Purple Coredinations card, Happy Birthday peel off, and lastly a paper rose by Prima.
I was inspired to create this project by the 'Gothic' theme over at Creative Card Crew-have never made a Goth style card before so I really enjoyed the challenge!
I coloured the beautiful digi first, and decided to mount her onto Purple coredinations card to compliment her hair colour (a slightly lighter purple than the card) and then onto black glitter card to glam her up.
I thought an easel card would really suit the project.
I coloured her eyes with duck egg and denim blue promarker mixed together so the Jade papers and embellishments really bring this little detail out. I put the Jade patterned paper next to the digi, but chose to make the base of the card a little less busy with pattern by using a My Minds eye black polka dot paper and enhancing this with a purple glitter strip, black sparkly ribbon and a Jade embellishment with a silver peel off added to tie the card together.
Lastly I added the leaf embellishment from the Jade set and a Prima rose.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafty Ribbons/Fiskars LED canvas

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well. I am here to share a backlit canvas using my Fiskars tools in a rather unusual way. I took the canvas off from the frame and folded it in half to randomly punch across the front of the canvas. I kept the cuttings for later. I then stapled the canvas back onto the frame. Next I stapled muslin fabric across the front of the canvas. I then added Clermont Cotton Lace across the bottom of the canvas as a border. I then got out my flexmarkers and coloured the punched canvas pieces in three complimentary colours. I then asked tiny gems to the centre of each and glued them randomly like flowers across the muslin fabric.

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

Alkaline Trio lyrics mixed media canvas

By sparklingblackrose
I am here to show you a canvas I created using printable cotton, cotton batting, plastic vintage style frame, acrylic paints, die cut foam, metal embellishments, glitters, texture pastes and nail caviar. The lyric fabric I created in a craft program then printed onto cotton, and placed in the frame after I had stuffed the frame with cotton batting.
