OSCC Vintage

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Its a new challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge and this week our theme is my favourite trend of the moment, Vintage :-)
For this project I used an image from the 'The Graphics Fairy' and isnt she just gorgeous?!
I used Bo Bunny Gabrielle papers, Pearlescent embossed paper, MS Punch, Tim Holtz distress inks, Papermania Aqua Capsule Collection, Flocked paper from my stash, pearl ribbon, and a gorgeous aqua flower.
I wanted to pick out the blues in her dress in the card to really show it off so I used the Aqua paper and aqua flower to accent it, and used neutral brown and cream colours alongside it. I inked all the edges of the card blank and the first layer of Bo Bunny backing paper. I chose two design papers to fan alongside the image and used my stitching tool on the aqua paper. I then added a 'Happy Birthday' dome sticker on the middle aqua panel in her line of vision.
I punched a border into the pearlescent paper, then placed this along the bottom, and stained it with Tim Holtz tea stain ink.
Next I added the aqua flower and pearl ribbon along the stained pearlescent border, and added a tiny little butterfly in the top right hand corner. I hope you like my efforts!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Inspire me Fridays: Anything Goes
The Paper Shelter: Anything Goes
Dutch Dare Challenges: Birthday
Craft Us Crazy: Anything Goes
Stampin With the Dragon: 3 DP, 3 Embellishments, One Border
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes

Thank you for your lovely comments, they make my day :-)

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.
