Craft Your Passion Guest DT Christmas in July

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Its my last Guest design project for Craft Your Passion, I would just like to say thank you to the lovely ladies who asked me to join in, I really enjoyed myself and appreciate the opportunity :-)
Our theme this week is 'Christmas in July'-a chance to get started on the busiest time of the year for us crafters! I was given a digi by Coco Dingo. I coloured the lovely snowman in promarkers, I then punched snowflakes out with my punch and glittered them. I mounted two design papers by papermania on kraft card and then placed the image and snowflakes on it. Lastly I added a 'Merry Christmas' greeting in the corner of the digi.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Christmas Inspirations: Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations Paints: Christmas 
Designed to Delight: Christmas no red and green
Polka Doodle: Christmas in July
Simply Create: Christmas Time
Delightful Challenges: Christmas in July
Digistamps 4 Joy: Christmas
I love Promarkers: Christmas in July

Thank you for looking!

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.
