Distressed LOTV beauty

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Hello everyone, hope you are well! I have been really struggling with my health recently but I wanted to show you a card I made with the gorgeous new Bo Bunny 'Gabrielle' papers-I love them so much I found it hard to cut them! I used a LOTV image stamped in Memento and coloured with promarkers and sakura pen for the mirror, Coredinations gemstones cardstock, Kraft cardstock, Bo Bunny papers, and flocked paper from my stash, Prima flowers, Lace, Pearls, distress inks and a bow.
I followed the lovely sketch from Donalda at the LOTV challenge for this card and started by mounting kraft cardstock onto a white card blank. I then placed the papers following the sketch, and mounted the image on Coredinations gemstones cardstock. I then inked and distressed the edges of all the paper and card with distress ink on a sponge and on the image with a paintbrush dabbed in ink. I then added my embellishments and made a special centre for the bow in the corner by using a circle of pearls with an aqua gem stuck in the middle.
I hope you like it!

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.
