Sarah Kay Summer Joy

Image
By sparklingblackrose

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well! I have been feeling really poorly so I thought I would put this up to cheer myself up :-)
For this project I used Sarah Kay image stamped in Memento, coloured with Promarkers, Ink pad for the sky, Martha Stewart butterfly border punch, Wooden butterfly, gems, Coredinations cardstock, My Minds Eye papers and greeting, and shell star buttons. I cut the little blue butterflies from a MS border punch strip as I think they are the perfect size for this image and with my love for butterflies I cant resist!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Crafty Purple Frog Challenges: Summer Fun
Digi Doodle Shop Challenges: Butterflies
Dutch Dare Challenges: Summer Fun
Crafts and Me Challenges: Favourites
Flutter By Wednesdays: Open Challenge
Craft Room Challenges: Summer Birthdays
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes
The Stamping Boutique: Summer Scene

Thank you for looking and please enter my candy if you havent already-its linked on my sidebar! :-)

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.
