Good news and a male card!

By sparklingblackrose
I have been asked by the lovely ladies at Craft Your Passion challenges to join them as their Guest Designer for July-I am honoured and very thankful :-) 
I will do the draw for my candy later, and post a new candy so please come back later to see if you have been lucky and to enter my new one! 


Here is the card I made for my brother passing his driving test. I knew I had a really old stamp with some teddies in a car and it took ages to find it! I stamped it in Memento and coloured with Promarkers and silver gel pen on the accents. I used Bev's cloud technique around the car, and on the window so it looked realistic. I then mounted the image on Blue coredinations card. I used my lovely new My Minds Eye papers and made panels of them and placed the on Kraft card. I then placed the Kraft card onto a square card blank. I used Hampstead ribbon along the bottom panels and added a 'Congratulations' peel off in the bottom right hand corner. Lastly I added three odd buttons I thought would compliment the card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Oldie but a Goodie: Anything Goes
Crafters Companion Challenges: One for the Boys
Crafty Cardmakers: Spots and Stripes
Bling it on Challenges: Anything goes
Here Come The Boys: Spots and Stripes
Cute Card Thursday 171: Technology
Hanna and Friends: Card for a Man
My Mums Card Shop Challenges: Something Old, Something New

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.
